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.
StuartBarker - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I noticed that only the enterprise version has integration with GitHub."
"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."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
"I use the solution for test management."
"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."
"Most valuable features are the ease of organizing test cases and a great API for sending results from automated test run results into the database."
"I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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 are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."
 

Cons

"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."
"The free version is limited."
"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"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."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"The reports should be more user-friendly."
"The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."
"Customer support could be enhanced. All the support is provided via chat and emails. Sometimes, you really need to speak to a person, and arranging such calls is not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The product is not much expensive."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
