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."

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

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

"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."

"From a testing perspective, the management is awesome. I am able to do testing and then add the reporting and the evidence. It is fair in terms of the price that you're paying. You get what you're paying for."

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

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

"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."

"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."

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

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

"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."

"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."

"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."

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."

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

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

"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."

"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."

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

"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."
