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.

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."

"The solution is stable."

"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."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

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

"I would like to see better customer support."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."

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

"Better prediction of text."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"Negotiate the best deal you can."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The product is not much expensive."
