StuartBarker

Managing Director at Corecom Quality Engineering

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.

Efficient and collaborative software testing providing comprehensive test management capabilities, seamless integration with various tools and impressive manual regression testing features

The user interface has a somewhat outdated design, which is certainly an area that could be improved. Some of the modules appear to be loosely connected, but despite these aspects, our overall experience with the tool was positive. When you begin integrating your testing tools with qTest, the available examples may not be very clear, and I believe this is an area that could be enhanced, particularly in terms of providing clearer integration guidance. While the tool's integration with various testing tools is impressive, there is room for improvement in showcasing more cases and benefits, especially through additional videos and documentation.

Senior Director at Ascendion

Has transformed testing by reducing scripting effort and enhancing productivity with advanced features

The self-healing feature of Tricentis Tosca needs significant improvement. Currently, it is static and not dynamic. For example, if a button in an application changes, Tricentis Tosca should be smart enough to detect the change and still execute the script seamlessly. Improvements are needed to ensure it responds dynamically to changes in the application.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."

"I use the solution for test management."

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

"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."

"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."

"The biggest advantage of using TestRail is its simplicity and intuitive interface."

"Integration with Confluence and JIRA."

More TestRail pros

"The initial setup was very easy."

"The solution's real-time integration with JIRA is seamless."

"The most valuable feature is reusing test cases. We can put in a set of test cases for an application and, every time we deploy it, we are able to rerun those tests very easily. It saves us time and improves quality as well."

"The integration with Selenium and other tools is one of the valuable features. Importing of test cases is also good."

"UI and UX are pretty easy to understand without much of a problem."

"The test automation tracking is valuable because our automated testing systems are distributed and they did not necessarily have a single point where they would come together and be reported. Having all of them report back to qTest, and having one central place where all of my test executions are tracked and reported on, is incredibly valuable because it saves time."

"Being able to log into Defects, go right into JIRA, add that defect to the user story, right there at that point, means we connect all of that. That is functionality we haven't had in the past. As a communication hub, it works really well. It's pretty much a closed loop; it's all contained right there. There's no delay. You're getting from the defect to the system to JIRA to the developer."

"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..."

More Tricentis qTest pros

"Overall, I rate Tricentis Tosca as a ten out of ten."

"Makes optimal use of Model-based Test practice in getting Object-references from the application."

"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."

"For beginners, the product is good, especially for those who are interested in the quality side of software testing."

"This tool has test data management capability along with test management."

"The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."

"The solution can be deployed in DevOps and ERP environments like Oracle Fusion. It accelerates testing with the libraries. The product incorporates libraries and is more sensitive to the scans."

"It is easy to automate tasks, highly flexible, straightforward to learn, and easy to maintain."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

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

"TestRail should improve its pricing."

"The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."

More TestRail cons

"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."

"Reporting shouldn't be so difficult. I shouldn't have to write so many queries to get the data I'm looking for, for a set of metrics about how many releases we had. I still have to break those spreadsheets out of there to get the data I need."

"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."

"As an admin, I'm unable to delete users. I'm only able to make a user inactive. This is a scenario about which I've already made a suggestion to qTest. When people leave the company, I should be able to delete them from qTest. I shouldn't have to have so many users."

"The Insights reporting engine has a good test-metrics tracking dashboard. The overall intent is good... But the execution is a little bit limited... the results are not consistent. The basic premise and functionality work fine... It is a little clunky with some of the advanced metrics. Some of the colorings are a little unique."

"The support for Tricentis qTest has room for improvement. The response could be better."

"The installation of the software could be streamlined. We pay for the on-premise support and they help us a lot, but the installation is something which is very command-line oriented."

"Could use additional integration so that there is a testing automation continuum."

More Tricentis qTest cons

"I would like a better user interface."

"I would like to be able to manage different projects in one repository or have better data exchange between repositories."

"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."

"The Vision AI implementation works very slowly, affecting the speed of our work."

"The issue is that even though the components are tightly integrated, object identification can be quite slow, sometimes taking five to ten seconds."

"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."

"They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies."

"The technical support services are generally good, though there are areas for improvement regarding response time and overall competence."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

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

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

"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."

"The product is not much expensive."

"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."

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

More TestRail pricing and cost advice

"Our license price point is somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 a year."

"For the 35 concurrent licenses, we pay something like $35,000 a year."

"It's quite a few times more costly than other tools on the market."

"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."

"We're paying a little over $1,000 for a concurrent license."

"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."

"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."

"The price I was quoted is just under $60,000 for 30 licenses, annually, and that's with a 26.5 percent discount."

More Tricentis qTest pricing and cost advice

"It is expensive."

"I rate the price of Tricentis Tosca a two out of five."

"It is an expensive tool compared to other test automation tools. It has a lot of advantages over other tools."

"I am satisfied with the cost."

"They are probably more expensive than other comparable tools, but you also get the full suite of testing tools."

"The pricing is high, but altogether it offers you the ability to automate all sorts of applications: desktop, web, mobile, etc."

"I give the cost of Tricentis Tosca a six out of seven."

"Although the product is slightly more expensive than tools, its automation capabilities and reduced scripting needs justify the cost."
