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.

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

"The product helps us create test cases and reports."

"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."

"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."

"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."

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

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

"Most valuable features are the ease of organizing test cases and a great API for sending results from automated test run results into the database."

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

More TestRail pros

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

"The automation engine is very strong, and it is very competitive in the market in terms of features. They develop a lot of features."

"The solution is script-less, so you don't need IT knowledge to use the solution in an operational way. This is the most valuable feature. It's also only one of two or three tools that can do good automation on SAP, and in my opinion, it's the best of those."

"The reporting is really nice."

"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."

"You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues."

"The platform's most valuable feature is model-based testing, which is effective for test case design and optimization."

"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."

"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've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."

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

"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."

"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

"It needs better integration with JIRA."

"Might have a learning curve, as it does not follow the traditional Record-Play functionality, but tests have to be built from requirements or Agile story cards."

"The tool lags in client-based applications. We have also encountered issues with the features in integrations."

"The Test Management options are still weak - improvement is outlined, but not yet visible. I"

"Many times when we have raised a ticket, we did not get an urgent response."

"What needs to be improved in Tricentis Tosca is its centralized repository mechanism because it's not as flexible. The repository in the solution where you store the data and the script for test automation is quite an old-fashioned mechanism that could be improved."

"The solution is expensive."

"Tricentis Tosca currently does not support any mobile testing and can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

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

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

More TestRail pricing and cost advice

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive tool and the licensing is not simple."

"My understanding is that it's an expensive product, although I don't know the specifics with regards to pricing."

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

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

"Tricentis Tosca is an expensive solution and there is an annual license required. The whole licensing process is confusing and it could be made easier."

"Tricentis Tosca may be relatively on the higher side in terms of pricing, but their sales rep can give pretty decent deals when asked."

"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."

"The price of Tricentis Tosca is approximately Є10,000 for one license. However, it used to be much cheaper, but they changed their license structure. It used to be a structure where if you bought a license you would receive one year of free support and maintenance. Now they only have a yearly license, and that is expensive."
