The user interface requires significant improvement as it is overly complex. For business users with no experience in IT, it can be particularly challenging to understand the UI and create test cases or scenarios. Simplifying the technical terminologies and breaking it down to simpler terms would be beneficial, especially for users involved in user acceptance testing.

Maybe there should be more integration—the possibility with the third-party tools. Looking for more integrations specifically with third-party tools that customers can easily access to perform automation without affecting the system. Additionally, some improvements to the user interface (UI) would be helpful, such as exposing more services to make it easier to customize to the needs of each customer. In the next releases, I would like to see the ability to customize reporting without having to rely on a separate tool. So currently, for any customization with respect to reporting from the tool, we still depend on the reporting tool called the publishing engine. So, instead of depending on the publishing engine, we must have a capability that should be available in the next coming version.
