Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat

It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

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

"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."

"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."

"I use the product to create test cases and share them with my team and manager."

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

"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."

"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."

"I use the solution for test management."

"The product helps us create test cases and reports."

Cons

"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."

"TestRail's user interface is not great. When you use it for the first time, you will be very uncomfortable and not know how to create test cases. It doesn't have a field for preconditions and post-conditions."

"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 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."

"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."

"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."

"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."

"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."

More TestRail cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."

"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."

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

"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."

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."

"The product is not much expensive."
