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.

Antonio Oteri

IT Telecom Quality Senior Tester at TIM

Ability to automate tests across various platforms and simplifies test creation

From what I've seen with my colleagues who make the software selection, the prices for this software in Brazil are too expensive to be applied to anything but huge customers. I'm surprised because I was in charge of planning and control at the company before, when there was a manager there. Normally, the company has structural licenses that are based on the company they are selling to. I see that these companies cannot spend this money on Tricentis. I think Tosca is losing this type of market. They should have a different license policy for medium and small companies. The same happened in the past with SAP, which changed its policy and also made licenses for low.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."

"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 product helps us create test cases and reports."

"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."

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

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

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

More TestRail pros

"Tosca can go through platforms to make end-to-end testing across CRM, billing, provisioning, order management flow, and databases to check for errors."

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

"It offers many features, such as risk-based testing and scenario creation using Kafka."

"We can also create customized functions. For example, if something isn't supported in Tricentis Tosca Commander, we can create our own function to integrate it with Tosca Commander, so we can utilize it and integrate with the macros."

"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."

"It is easy to maintain and easy to automate. No coding skills are required to automate. It is also easy in terms of transferring knowledge and skills. Many of my team members shifted over the past one and a half years, and there was no big issue with respect to knowledge sharing. It is a good tool that enables me to re-automate my scripts and update my scripts as quickly as possible. Looking at the amount of rework and maintenance activity that we had done for our scripts, it might have been a nightmare with some other scripting tool."

"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."

"I am impressed with the product's script test."

Cons

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

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

"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."

"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More TestRail cons

"I would say the reporting part of the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I would like to see something in terms of AI capabilities."

"Needs a UI to visualize the test case development."

"There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless."

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

"Setup wasn't that straightforward; it was more complex. It all depends on the environment, because there were a lot of errors on our applications. Therefore, it wasn't an easy setup for us."

"In Tosca, I see that there are no user guides."

"I would like to see better integration with other testing tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"The product is not much expensive."

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

"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."

More TestRail pricing and cost advice

"Expensive, but for long-term projects, it is paying back."

"A competitor of Tricentis Tosca: Katalon Studio, is very similar and offers lower pricing, though Tricentis Tosca offers more features and benefits."

"A yearly license costs around 20,000 euros."

"The tool is expensive. It has become overpriced, especially after Tricentis Tosca grew as a company. Initially, we bought a license with an annual support fee, which wasn't too expensive. However, they changed the model, and now we have to purchase a license yearly, which has become quite costly."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is on the higher side."

"Pricing could be better."

"It is expensive."

"There are two licenses: single user and multiple user. A multiple-user license means that several people can work together on one project and collaborate on code stored in a central location. A single-user license is for people working alone on a one particular application. It's much cheaper than a multi-user workspace. If you are getting a large volume of licenses for an enterprise, you can probably negotiate a discount, but I'm not sure about that."
