Bugzilla vs. Kualitee vs. Zephyr Scale

Buzilla is easy to use and provides basic functionality to use as a bug tracking tool. If big size attachments are allowed it would have been great. Also with Bugzilla home->Test management area is improved by allowing multiple sections it would be awesome!

From a business standpoint, features such as test scenarios, test cases, bug logging, and then graphical representations of every minute detail related to task and projects are very satisfying and productive. We can keep track of literally everything with Kualitee, and our quality is improving. One downside is that we cannot change the visualisations of some graphs. I believe that by giving the user more customisation options, such as filtering out on the basis of days and months, the experience could be greatly improved.

Jira and Confluence are widely implemented in organizations of various industries so incorporating Zephyr Scale is a very seamless method of adding scalable testing management. Testing visibility and end to end traceability is possible and integrates in Jira. Developers and engineers are able to take advantage of the built-in reports and statistics and even automate testing. The value is greatly reduced for organizations that do not already implement Jira and Confluence as the native integrated compatibility is much of the value

• Open source! No license fee involved, no limit to the number of licenses.
• Easy to install and maintain. Installation is very easy and hardly needs any maintenance efforts, except when migrating from one version to other. Each project can have its own group of users.
• Includes all the core features/fields that are needed to log a software bug/issue.
• Multiple attachments are possible, supports various formats.
• Good for reporting. Filtering mechanism lets you query bugs by various parameters.

• Import and Export
• Integration with other tools
• Regression and Blackbox testing

• Scalable and compatible with Jira & Confluence
• Improves testing visibility, data analysis, collaboration with reports & gadgets
• Easy to retrospectively trace testing with change history

• Cloud Based. I'd like to see bugzilla be cloud based. The company I currently work with made a final decision to change db's for this specific reason. Due to the frequency of travel in this company, they need access to bugzilla from differing national / international locations.
• Larger File Attachments. I believe the limit of a bugzilla content upload is 4 megabytes. For many of our video'd issues, this file size is simply impractical without the additional effort exertion on video compressor applications.

• Support response time
• Should have dark mode
• Response time for API call

• Not as valuable if not already using Jira or Confluence
• Can be overlooked if the user does not set automation
• Needs better first time tutorials

For future projects I will look at something that is hosted in the cloud that I don't have to manage. I would also like something that has a more modern feel to allow my customers to use it as well as my employees.

This is a pretty straightforward system. You put in the bug details, a ticket is created, the team is notified. The user interface reflects this very simple and straightforward flow. It's certainly much easier than trying to track bugs with using Excel and email.

I like this rating.

Since it is open source, it doesn't have customer service. However, the amount of information on forums is vast. If you can wade through it, you'll get what you need

Implementation was pretty simple. Particularly because the product cannot be customized so there is not much to do apart from getting it up and running.

We migrated away from the whole suite of Rational tools because of their massive complexity around administration and inflexibility regarding workflows. In addition, the suite was insanely expensive, and users hated the usability of the tools. We evaluated, and liked JIRA, but because the organization was looking for cost savings, we ended up going with Bugzilla and it's FOSS model so as to avoid ongoing costs.

TestRail is very costly and complex compared to Kualitee

Zephyr scale is easier to work with and more seamlessly used because it is natively integrated with Jira and Confluence. TestRail cannot provide the same scalable experience and is rather dated and limited in capability. Developers rather use tools that are compatible with each other, and Zephyr scale offers that

• It has made the SDLC process more efficient. Bugs were logged and tracked in emails or in Excel sheets leading to slow communication and at time version issues with multiple files. Being an online tool, Bugzilla solved those issues, improved communication, instant status updates and improved efficiency.
• We have used Bugzilla with a lot of federal goverment agencies (DHS, CMS, SAMHSA, CDC, HHS etc). Project Directors adn Principle Investigators were at times given access to Bugzilla which provided a snapshot of open vs closed issues.
• Some groups would resist using Bugzilla with the email reminders being the main reason. Turning off or reminding them of features where we can 'control' email notification helped a lot.

• If the terminology ( Test Scenarios, modules, components ) is not used in your workflow, it may take some time to set up properly because you must figure out how these are defined by your own terminology to get the hierarchy correct

• Dozens of added testing capability via integrated gadgets
• Reduced testing and tracking time
• Faster and clearer testing operations awareness
