Azure Test Plans vs. TestRail

It works well for express test case implementation with a short duration. You can define the tests for two weeks and run the activities documenting the software errors and fixes to control the effectiveness of DevOps. The graphic reports give the idea of the backlog phases advances and errors detected. It needs improvement if you have a large test project and need to design financial budgets and control over costs of the test plan.

The integration with other tools, and their user friendly layout and design. It's very comfortable to use and is way better than other tools with the Automation Testing tools, thanks to the great API that is included. Sometimes the integration with Jira is a little faulty, but the links to that tool usually work well. It could be cool if it had a better following for the bug items that were registered on other tools.

We're doing a full continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), continuous testing (CT), security, delivery, and monitoring. They have been lately adding features to the services on a regular basis. Every two weeks, they add functionality to Azure DevOps Services to match it with what Azure DevOps Server or on-prem would offer. So, we continue to get more robust functionality. My favorite right now is that they are starting to open up the API availability within Azure DevOps Services.

TestRail definitely saves times. I work in a company that consists of several development teams, all of which have different processes. Some of the teams leverage test cases, some do not. I've noticed that the turn around time it takes for me to pick up a ticket, QA it, and then pass/fail/send feedback is much faster when there is a test case created as I'm not reading through ticket description/comments to figure out what needs to be QA'd.
