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

"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."

"I use the solution for test management."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

More TestRail pros

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

"To me, what stands out the most about Tricentis Tosca is that even if I'm not a technical tester, I could pick up on how to use it very quickly because of the mechanisms of the tool, for example, its scanning mechanism. I'm not so technical, but I'm able to maneuver through Tricentis Tosca and derive capability. It's a user-friendly tool. It's not very complex."

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

"It's been very helpful to have connectivity with mobile. The tool also identifies some of the actual changes from the recordings on the actual testing suite. That is something that I really like."

"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."

"Tricentis Tosca can be easily integrated with SAP infrastructure."

"The technical support is good, we were satisfied."

"The most valuable features of Tricentis Tosca are all the test automation functionality. It is a full-scale automation tool."

More Tricentis Tosca pros

Cons

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

"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."

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

"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'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."

"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."

"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."

More TestRail cons

"The product needs to improve its pricing. It also needs to improve the infrastructure and DEX agent setup."

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

"It needs better integration with JIRA."

"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."

"Tricentis Tosca could improve on the ease of use. There is a steep learning curve. The reporting section could be better and some of the new features could be simplified. Additionally, the user management of the client and the server are confusing. There should not be two."

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

"A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."

"The product's test case management functionality needs enhancement."

More Tricentis Tosca cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More TestRail pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual cost for Tricentis."

"The tool's pricing is lower than that of other automation tools."

"We have around 200 [concurrent] licenses and the cost around $1.4 million a year."

"I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to talk about the pricing, but it has some significant costs. For example, you have to pay a license and maintenance fee. Then the rest of the terms are negotiable. We have to consider what we need and what benefit we get from it."

"Pricing could be better."

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

"The price of the tool is a problem for a lot of Brazilian clients or Latino clients, as it is expensive. Where I work, if one is low price and ten is high price, I rate the tool's price as a ten out of ten."

"Tosca is expensive. I don't see small and medium customers going for it. It's always large enterprises that have a big pocket. It is very expensive as compared to the other tools that we have in the market. They should reduce the price by half, and if they do that, they would do better business. From the competition perspective, other solutions are at a pretty similar level. UiPath is also very expensive. One thing that I always wanted was a short-term consumption license. With Tricentis, the biggest challenge is that you have to go for a minimum of one year license, and they also try to sell you a three-year license. It would be good if people can get a three-month or four-month consumption license."
