QMetry, like any new-gen test management tool, works well with any type of development methodologies, be it agile, waterfall or hybrid. It is positioned to be a tool for enterprises of any size. QMetry also provides easy migration of existing test artifacts from a legacy test management tool to QMetry without loss of any information. The one thing that I see as an opportunity for improvement is trying to provide out-of-box integration with all major test automation tools. Another area could be to expand the offering to include it as a product suite with accessibility testing, security testing, performance testing, and test automation which is what the trend is.

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

QMetry provides an easy path for migration from the legacy test management tool. The migration utility is free compared to other vendors. We have received great customer support from day one of the engagement starting with POC, implementation, and ongoing support. Overall, pricing and licensing model are affordable and attractive.

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
