More PractiTest Pros →

Cons
"The tool needs to improve its planning. It also needs to add more integrations.""The ease-of-use could be improved a little.""Technical support needs some improvement.""Test management lacks an automated process.""As Polarion ALM is a development-oriented tool, easy support or easy access is provided by default, but if I want to use detailed features, I need to write the script, particularly the VM script, and this is its area for improvement. I want Polarion ALM to have a graphical user interface that doesn't need scripting. In the next release of the tool, I'd like for it to not require scripting and programming because needing to run script language is time-consuming.""One of Polarion's shortcomings would be planning. It can handle plans, but the planning feature is very basic.""The user interface is not yet optimized.""The planning and task management aspects of the solution were not that easy."
