Case management tool used for two years for project management that needs little technical support

Integrates well, simple to learn, and straightforward exporting
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use TestRail by Gurock as a task management tool. It is integrated with Jira for task tracking.

What is most valuable?

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.

The integration with Jira is very quick and powerful. If you deploy a new testing team with a full test management tool, TestRail by Gurock on the cloud will be on my top list.

What needs improvement?

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.

In an upcoming release, they could improve the reporting module.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TestRail by Gurock for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of TestRail by Gurock has been good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. You only need to add new licenses. I didn't face any issues. Since it is in the Cloud you add a new user to your license and it will work perfectly.

We have approximately 10 people using the solution and the number is growing.

How was the initial setup?

The initial implementation took us approximately one week. We built the workflow, integration, and everything else. We optimize the process as we go.

What about the implementation team?

I have a team that does the implementation of the solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

I rate TestRail by Gurock an eight out of ten.

An easy to understand solution that helps with UI testing
Pros and Cons
  • "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 product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."

What is our primary use case?

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. 

What needs improvement?

The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the tool for a couple of months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am the sole user of the tool. 

How are customer service and support?

I used only online materials and online support. I never contacted the tech team directly. 

How was the initial setup?

The product's setup is straightforward. The tool's setup takes only a couple of minutes to complete. You need to look through the training material and follow it.

A good testing solution that integrates well with JIRA and offers great reporting features
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
  • "I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for testing. The testing team is writing the test cases and the test switch. They were running the test for every release or every sprint because we are working on JIRA. I use the reports for the run.

What is most valuable?

The reporting is the most valuable feature. I can easily manipulate the reports into the pie charts and statistics and so on. This is very useful. Also, the ability of the solution to easily link with JIRA is helpful. It's able to integrate with JIRA in depth. 

The configuration of the software makes it very easy to use.

What needs improvement?

There are some features that I'm looking for, but I don't know if they already exist within the solution or not because I haven't had time to look further into it.

For example, if I'm interested in integration with some other automation framework, they don't have something like this, it would be ideal if they could add it. 

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

Basically, I'm looking for more integration - especially with JIRA - and more automation. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and technical support?

We've never needed any technical support, so I can't evaluate it.

How was the initial setup?

I didn't do the implementation myself. It was already done when I arrived at the company. I just manage the users. I switch users and accounts when someone leaves the project or joins. Being a cloud version, however, I imagine it's fairly easy to configure.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

After looking at other products, I'd say TestRail is pretty expensive. It's one of the reasons we're moving away from the solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I played a bit with DeskLink, but I've never really evaluated it.

What other advice do I have?

We were using the cloud deployment model.

I'd recommend the product. I'd rate it between eight and nine out of ten.

Enables our global team to more easily create, manage, and monitor test execution
Pros and Cons
  • "Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
  • "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."

What is most valuable?

  1. Ability to import test scenarios (CSV).
  2. Redmine integration and ability to link Redmine issues to test cases.
  3. Network deployment. Need accessibility world wide.
  4. Report generation capability.
  5. LDAP authentication.
  6. Ability to control and restrict user IDs.
  7. File attached upload capability.
  8. Ability to note when the Blocking issue has been placed in Verify state (or Closed) and flag the Execution records for re-test.
  9. Ability to note when the failing issue has been closed and move the execution record to some re-test phase.
  10. Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it.
  11. Easy to upgrade and maintain.
  12. Customer support.

How has it helped my organization?

TestRail has made it possible for our large team around the globe to more easily create, manage, and monitor test execution. It has also provided valuable report information used for project management.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

Four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No.

How are customer service and technical support?

Very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously we used a customized spreadsheet tool.

How was the initial setup?

Setup was pretty straightforward. Creating our own customized reports was more complex. It required writing PHP code and they are time consuming to maintain.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Negotiate the best deal you can.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

TestLodge, Klaros-TestManagement, PractiTest, Test Collab.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend researching all available products and evaluate the top three that meet your needs. There may be better products out there today. Carefully choose the tool that best meets your requirements. It is a huge investment in time and effort and very difficult to change tools once a decision has been made.

Awesome for automated testing and integrations with most used testing frameworks
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."

What is most valuable?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

We don't have to take care of test case results in time. They are automatically added into TestRail (TR) on a per case basis, so you have the test results history.

What needs improvement?

Only a few small ones. Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports. You have to basically repeat the same report run, but then you have two reports. An old one and a new one. A 'refresh' option for reports would be very useful. This way you would have a report but just need to refresh its data when needed. Also, more flexibility in adding custom fields and their placing around the test case form would be beneficial. For example, sometimes I can't place a custom text (paragraph) field in the exact spot that I was planning. Again, nothing critical, just a few small improvements.

For how long have I used the solution?

For about nine months now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues with stability in the last nine months that I've been working with TR.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No issues with scalability so far.

How are customer service and technical support?

I haven't used their tech support directly because all I needed was info that I was able to find in their knowledge database.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used Zephyr, but didn't make the switch. My new company was already using TR when I joined it.

How was the initial setup?

Not applicable. It was already set up when I joined.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yeah, Zephyr, Redmine, etc.

What other advice do I have?

It is great for manual testing. However, it is awesome for automated testing and integrations with most used testing frameworks.
