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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is a good solution for a global transnational company."
"Converting a couple of these test plans into PractiTest was amazing and made a world of difference."
"Since we started using this product, our organization's testing functionality has really improved."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"In addition, we found PractiTest very user-friendly and customizable."
"Helped organise the manual test cases so they were documented correctly, which was invaluable as it allowed for reviewing and improving of test scripts so they could be followed by a number of different people which helped with resourcing."
"PractiTest gives us the opportunity to control the testing process efficiently and saves us a lot of time that we had to spend while using other tools."
"Technical support of PractiTest is awesome. They are always ready to help in any time zone, which makes them stand out from others."
"I like the build management features, the integration with Jenkins and many other tools, the team rooms for team collaboration, and issue tracking are very valuable features."
"TFS increased productivity and reduced our times to market by 60%."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"It's user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the backlog."
"It is a stable solution."
"TFS is really worth it if we can use its advanced features."
"As the solution is cloud-based, we always use the latest version, and we use it comprehensively for client career management."
 

Cons

"It does not offer server installation, only software as a service."
"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"There are some features that I would like added: an option to export a part of tests with steps."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time."
"Needs to improve adding the ability to run tests multiple times and setting different parameters."
"Yes, there are times when server is very slow in response."
"The product needs to stay competitive with its peers like Github, and the adoption of other markup language renderings in the code section of TFS."
"Team Build definitions bug-tracking tools."
"Its pricing could be improved."
"TFS has room for improvement as there have been global security issues that many companies, including ours, have experienced."
"The dashboard and the customization of dashboards is an area they have to work on."
"From a testing perspective, while the build and deploy automation capability and pipeline integration are already present to a great extent, these are areas where TFS can improve further."
"Automatic tests may need some improvements."
"Throw a dart, you will hit something that needs improvement in TFS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
"There are different prices depending on the configurations. There is a free version available. There is no extra cost for the solution. However, the hardware could be something that needs to be considered."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I was working with the engineering team, and that was not under my umbrella. From what I can remember, its license was yearly. They had the licenses on a per-user basis, and they included MTM."
"We are using the open-source version."
"The pricing is reasonable at this time."
"On a scale where ten is the highest and one is the cheapest, I rate the solution's licensing cost at one on a scale of one to ten."
"TFS is not cheap."
"Use the Microsoft recommended “seat-based” licensing model. This allows a single developer with multiple machines to consume only one client license."
