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.

Has supported centralized test case management but needs better reporting and integration features
One good feature of Tricentis qTest was that users can directly upload test cases in the tool itself. Unlike ALM, where we had a plugin in Excel and it used to hang very much, this was a really cool feature where users can upload test cases directly into the tool. I have used Tricentis qTest's integration with Jira, but that's why we migrated to Octane tool. There were some hiccups, such as when we updated anything in Tricentis qTest, it wasn't really reflecting in our release container or release manager. I have utilized the customizable dashboards with Tricentis qTest, though they weren't very interactive. I have seen measurable benefits with Tricentis qTest in terms of time-saving and resource-saving. It's definitely time-saving, and also in terms of space, users can have everything centralized instead of having it all in Excel locally, which can be maintained in the repository of Tricentis qTest.

Pros

"Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually."
"I noticed that only the enterprise version has integration with GitHub."
"It's more user-friendly as a solution."
"It has taken us to the next level, in a very positive way, in the management of our overall test cases."
"Overall, the solution has increased testing efficiency by a good 95 percent."
"qTest helps us compile issues and have one place to look for them. We're not chasing down emails and other sources. So in the grand scheme of things, it does help to resolve issues faster because everyone is working off of the same information in one location."
"The main thing that really stuck out when we started using this tool, is the linkability of qTest to JIRA, and the traceability of tying JIRA requirement and defects directly with qTest. So when you're executing test cases, if you go to fail it, it automatically links and opens up a JIRA window. You're able to actually write up a ticket and it automatically ties it to the test case itself."
"On a weekly basis, for reporting it has definitely saved at least 50 percent of our time, if not more."
"I like the way it structures a project... We're able to put the test cases into qTest or modify something that's already there, so it's a reusable-type of environment. It is very important that we can do that and change our test data as needed..."
"qTest has probably doubled our efficiency."
"It is the single source for repository and traceability."
 

Cons

"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."
"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."
"I'd like to see better integration in the platform so that there is a testing automation continuum, where customers can easily mature through qTest and Tosca functionalities."
"Tricentis qTest's technical support team needs to improve its ability to respond to queries from users."
"I wouldn't say a lot of good things about Insights, but that's primarily because, with so many test cases, it is incredibly slow for us. We generally don't use it because of that."
"The graphical reports, API integration with the customized automation test tools and support for the same need to be improved."
"qTest offers a baseline feature where you can only base sort-order for a specific story or requirement on two fields. However, our company has so many criteria and has so many verticals that this baseline feature is not sufficient. We would want another field to be available in the sort order."
"I really can't stand the Defects module. It's not easy to use. ALM's... Defects Module is really robust. You can actually walk through each defect by just clicking an arrow... But with the qTest Defects module you can't do that. You have to run a query. You're pretty much just querying a database. It's not really a module, or at least a robust module. Everything is very manual."
"I would really love to find a way to get the results, into qTest Manager, of Jenkins' executing my Selenium scripts, so that when I look at everything I can look at the whole rather than the parts. Right now, I can only see what happens manually. Automation-wise, we track it in bulk, as opposed to the discrete test cases that are performed. So that connection point would be really interesting for me."
"Right now, on a scale of one to five, I would say the Insights reporting engine is a three because we are facing some performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our license price point is somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 a year."
"We signed for a year and I believe we paid $24,000 for Flood, Manager, and the qTest Insights. We paid an extra for $4,000 for the migration support."
"We're paying a little over $1,000 for a concurrent license."
"Based on whatever I heard, I can say that Tricentis qTest is a little costlier than other test management tools, like Jira, Zephyr, or Xray."
"The price I was quoted is just under $60,000 for 30 licenses, annually, and that's with a 26.5 percent discount."
"For the 35 concurrent licenses, we pay something like $35,000 a year."
"For me, pricing for Tricentis qTest is moderate, so that's a five out of ten. It's more affordable than my company's previous solution, which was Micro Focus ALM."
"It's quite a few times more costly than other tools on the market."
