    HipTest is good and helpful to create and run functional regressions but it is more complicated to use this tool to create and run API testing scenarios (it does not mean it can not be done). This tool is definitively not appropriate for running performance testing scenarios.

    I am very glad about the working speed of this tool. The comfort and support it has provided us in project management are worth appreciating because Project management is a big deal and using ZenTao has made it easy and fun for us as we can as a team better collaborate. But some of its features need to be fixed.

    • Story could be linked with product, sprint, test case, bug, which makes traceability so great.
    • Test module, with test case, case library, test request, test report, very detailed.
    • On-Premise available, the package is very small based on LAMPP
    • SaaS version even cheaper without your own IT maintenance support.
    • Price really affordable.
    • API call is easy, so that we could do customizations.

    Cons
    SmartBear
    • UX is not too obvious and easy (like generating a data table in a scenario or including a scenario in a test run) but you can get used to it relatively easy by playing around with the options, also the documentation is helpful.
    • To get extra functionalities you have to pay for them separately.

    • The function of ZenTao mobile version is a little weak.
    • ZenTao users need to receive training before they start using the software, because for testers, the first use of the software may be a little complicated, and they cannot execute the same test case multiple times in the same test execution process.
    • Although there are many reports built in. But if you want to get the data yourself,You have to know how to write SQL to customize your reports, which can a little bit challenging.

    The tool includes a basic but complete documentation that can be very helpful to get started using the tool. The UX sometimes does not feel very easy to understand but after some use you can get familiar without reading the documentation. The webinars are not very useful for using the tool, I have seen a couple of them and they are actually focused on promoting their HipTest product to new users instead of being useful and educational for current users.

    ZenTao defines bugs, tasks, and stories separately, not just an ISSUE. I can oversee the development from creating a Product Backlog to releasing the increment. I can also collect and record product feedback from the client and share with my team.

    • We are delivering projects on time and can keep an eye on the progress of our projects.
    • My team and I can better communicate on a project.
    • As it is [in my experience], buggy it sometimes results in disturbing the whole working of our company.
