PractiTest has not only been great for our company, but for the testing community at large
- The ability to create custom fields on your test cases
- The custom reporting results due to the custom fields
- The ability to work using filters instead of folder trees
- Integrations with other platforms
- Constant availability of support
- Community oriented (host online testing conferences for free, provide insightful blog posts for the testing community, etc.)
Cons
- Better dashboard display capability (drag and drop to rearrange gadgets)
- Creation of global user groups (as opposed to just project groups)
- PractiTest has saved us time in managing our test cases and providing immediate reports through dashboards
- The capability to provide a dashboard through and external link allows clients to view our dashboards in real-time (saving time on sending reports).
- Tricentis qTest (formerly QASymphony)
When creating a test in qTest for example, you can only input information into the fields provided, and you have everything set up in a folder tree structure. With PractiTest, we are able to create custom fields and filter our tests based on those fields to provide more accurate information in a readily available format while quickly searching for the filter instead of through a folder tree.
TestRail did not appear to meet our needs as a company. It just didn't have the potential that we found with PractiTest.
Zephyr for example worked seamlessly with Jira, which is really nice since that is what we use for the most part. However since we cater to many different clients, we needed an external Test Case repository so we could use something that wasn't tied to 1 Jira instance.
