Helped with agile testing, provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities but visibility of test cases could be improved

QMetry has different aspects. It provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities while running tests. It has a recorder integrated. If you run a test on an application, it will record every aspect of it. For example, if you execute a user scenario, it will record what the user does within the application and generate a script. This can also be used for quick automation. Moreover, if we have an automation framework, QMetry can integrate with it. QMetry can also handle load testing in web-based applications. We have integrated it with a bug-tracking system, but not for automation. It was not difficult to integrate it. This integration was mainly for reporting purposes, such as creating reports directly from QMetry.

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 best benefit was for new hires. We used to write our test cases in simple English within QMetry, so anyone who knew English could understand them. This helped with training new hires."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."

"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."

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

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

"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."

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

"I use the solution for test management."

"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."

Cons

"For me, the visibility could be improved. When executing a test case, you needed to open it separately to read the steps."

"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."

"Better prediction of text."

"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."

"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."

"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."

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

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

"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."

"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."

"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

"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."

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

"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."

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