AI features and automation save time and enhance test quality

Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually. It can integrate with different applications and is user-friendly. One notable AI feature is the self-healing capability, which automatically corrects failed scripts, solving problems in less than five minutes and improving the quality of code.

A tool that provides effective test management and real-time reporting capabilities

I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira where the status of tests is not displayed (in Jira) due to I suspect security settings on the browser. In a large corporate environment, it is not easily changed. The support wasn't particularly helpful. It would be great if I could create custom reports, ideally with a tool designed specifically for that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually."

"It's more user-friendly as a solution."

"I noticed that only the enterprise version has integration with GitHub."

"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."

"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."

"The integration with Jira and the ability for extra configurations are the most valuable features."

"I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The ability to time test runs gives the tester the ability to compare calculated times to actual times it takes for a test case to run."

"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."

"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."

"I use the solution for test management."

More TestRail pros

Cons

"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."

"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."

"The free version is limited."

"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."

"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."

"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."

"TestRail should improve its pricing."

"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."

"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."

"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."

"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."

"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."

"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

"I give the price a five out of ten."

"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."

"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."

"The product is not much expensive."
