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:

Cons

"I would like to see better customer support."

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"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."

"The reports should be more user-friendly."

"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."

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

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

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

"The product is not much expensive."

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

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

"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."
