Review of qTest

3.0 6 years ago

Pros:

The software was integrated with qTest to bring over requirements and create test cases and execute them in qTest. We were able to run queries to find specific modules and run specific test cases. We were also able to effectively track which test cases had been executed and the result of those test cases. Then, qTest created helpful infographics to help us further track how far along in the test execution process we were.

Cons:

Sometimes, the requirements between qTest and JIRA did not sync well. There were many times where the number of requirements in each software was not the same. Along with this, some of the qTest add-ons such as Insights are very difficult to work with and not intuitive as normal data analysis tools.

Lots of functionality

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: Have only been using this for about 6 months now and haven't really gotten used to all of the functionality. I believe I am not utilizing all of the functionality, need to take some time aside and learn about more of the bells and whistles.

Pros:

This software integrates with The Atlassian Jira software pretty well. I can select the Story or Bug that is imported from Jira to a test script and then the text execution data will be displayed in Jira. The catch is that unless you have a qTest license you can't see the actual details of the test when you click on it. You can also click the little create bug button while running a test case in qTest and it will automatically create the Bug in Jira and populate as much data as it can from the current test case.

Cons:

I'm not sure if it is our implementation - but it seems to hiccup often, I randomly get errors or steps don't display. My problem is that I sometimes forget to click the Save button and I walk away and if the session times out - then all your work is lost.

qTest is the best!

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall, I find qTest a valuable test management tool. It is time-saving to do batch approvals on large numbers of test cases. Also, creating the parameters further defines the requirements, which facilitates test design and creation.

Pros:

qTest is very useful when creating and executing large batches of test cases, especially when running the same test cases in different environments. This saves time and effort, great feature!

Cons:

Could use graphics to show test coverage and progress, rather than just a percentage report.

Agile Test Management

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: We are trying to replace HP ALM because it's only compatible with an old IE version, has TERRIBLE UI and disrupts a lot of our workflows. If qTest were a more reasonable cost, we would seriously consider implementing this agile test management suite.

Pros:

I like how easy it is to save work, the intuitive UI and the color scheme for quick status checks. The layout is straightforward like Rally's and it can be a requirements repository. Integration seems to be easy and possible with requirements and Jira.

Cons:

I didn't like how many steps it seems to take to set up the test plan folders. Our testing is pretty rigorous and used for FDA - approved medical devices so that some of the default workflows and fields are not robust enough. I don't like that the Actual Results field can be left blank as long as you select a test status.

Qtest for test scripts design

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: I use Qtest daily for test script creation and execution. I can see my execution in Jira so I can keep track of my completed tasks. I would recommend this software to other QA analysts.

Pros:

-Easy to use -Integration with Jira is the main reason we use this -Test Script creation

Cons:

-Minor bugs when saving a test script could be fixed -If you copy from word or any other source, the text is not always displayed correctly

My Review of qTest-Test Management Tool

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall experience excluding minor hiccups, network issues,was excellent. It provides a variety of options for test management both for Manual or Automation.

Pros:

Intuitive UI,COLOR CODING, INTEGRATION WITH tools like JIRA, creates a clear link between the test case and the JIRA story assigned. Provides multiple ways to create or upload test cases.Test design is satisfactory when created using qTest .

Cons:

Requirement mapping,for same items belonging to a particular story you still have to manually tag every item with the story.Frustrating. Also unit level management seems quite old and time consuming.

a cloud based good test management tool

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: Overall very good from features but slightly overpriced.

Pros:

QA Symphony did a pretty good job by packaging most of the test management capabilities into it. Starting with its capability to import test cases from Excel spreadsheets or other tools is great. Other notable feature includes complete control over requirement management and traceability and easy to use UI etc.

Cons:

It is highly priced compared to other competitors. Features: lacks a Rich Text Editor option in requirement management module.

Great for our current needs, but could use some improvements

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

I like the integration with JIRA, so we can import requirements into qTest just by tagging them on our JIRA board. From there we can have them organized by team and by sprint. Being able to search by requirement is the most useful feature for me.

Cons:

The UI is a little counterintuitive. To add test cases to a test suite you have to click the 'Statistics' tab then you have the option to add tests. Still don't understand why they named it that.

Our one stop shop for QA

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: Overall, I really like using this software. It has the Jira integration, test case creation, test execution sections and good reporting features. We run everything through qTest and export results to Confluence so others have visibility into the work we are doing.

Pros:

I love the Jira integration. We run all our requirements through Jira and import them into qTest when we can link all our test cases to them.

Cons:

The out of box reporting is lacking some basic features that you would think come standard.

Great Product

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Its helping in ease of doing business and run the agile environment in a smooth way

Pros:

I have been using qtest for a while and I really like it the way it has built up. The integration with jira allows to link JIRA issues against the Qtest which is helpful in overall visibility.

Cons:

The recent removal of precondition/Prerequisite field I didn't like it. In recent version the test pre requisite you cannot add.

Great test management tool

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I am using it daily and love the fact that you can integrate it with Jira. So you can connect the requirements with the test cases. It is easy to use, has a lot of great features. You can export/import test cases in excel/word.

Cons:

Maybe the fact that the refresh is taking some time.

Useful for test traceability, good integration with JIRA

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

The software has a good workflow allowing traceability of requirements right through to individual test runs. It is easy to separate releases and produce reports on test summary once finished.

Cons:

The UI looks unappealing and third party automation tools are generally not supported, as Tricentis want you to use Tosca for automation with qTest integration. We use Ranorex in our team and unfortunately this cannot hook up into qTest.

Gets the job done

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: We use qTest to write test cases and test plans and track them to completion. It also integrates with our Jira platform for defects which is very handy.

Pros:

It's quick and concise, easy to use and is very intuitive for what you may need to do with it.

Cons:

There are some minor hassles like dragging to reorder things being finicky but that's more of a minor nitpick.
