- having build in custom workflows for any open source solution(Azure,Teams,DevOps)
- repetitive requirement mapping for particular type story might be time consuming
- the 3rd party Automation tools are not necessarily supported as it may want you to use Tosca for automation with Tricentis qTest integration.

qTest: The Game Changer
It addressed common business problems such as test case management, test execution and reporting, test automation integration, requirement traceability, agile project management, test data management, collaboration, reporting and analytics, compliance, and audit trails.
The scope of its use varies based on organizational needs, from managing testing across multiple projects to focused test case management and execution.
However we have used it for the reasons mentioned in point number 2
- test case management
- requirement traceability
- agile project management
- test data management
- collaboration
- reporting and analytics
- compliance and audit trails
- incorporating AI and automation
- strengthening security and compliance features
- offering more customization options
- actively collecting and implementing user feedback and feature requests
It may be less appropriate for small teams or projects, non-technical users, limited budgets, simple test cases, non-Agile environments, low test automation usage, and situations where advanced reporting isn't necessary. Choosing qTest depends on your specific testing needs, team size, budget, and project methodologies, with a consideration of how well the tool aligns with your requirements. Regular assessments are recommended to ensure it remains suitable for evolving needs.
- Easy To Use
- Reporting is Very Helpful
- The Analytics And Statistics feature is very Helpful
- Test Management And Maintainance
- Requirement Mapping is one of the challenge
- Sometimes the App works very slow
- Expensive
qTest Review
- Provide test data retention
- Provide ERES approval for work
- Ease of integration with other commonly used tools.
qTest enables our teams to scale
- Enterprise Test Case Management features
- QA process reporting and visibility
- Allows us to scale our test practice
- Easy to use and nicely integrates into our SDLC
- Better integration with our Test Automation suites
- Ability to customize our test execution reporting
- User experience could be improved
- Ease of integration with Jira
- Ability to customize test case properties
- Easy to organize and create test plans and having visibility to statistics and execution summary.
- Data query is slow for large projects (64109 test cases). It's not usable because the screen won't even load.
- It would be nice to be able to add user to groups directly within the individual user Action menu. Instead of having to create user, assign projects, then go to Groups to add the user.
- Some simple filtering with the search function or make it context based. So that if I am in Test Design tab, and I run a search, provide results for TC's only. Right now it returns everything from Requirements and Test Runs, etc.
- Capturing screenshots automatically
- Capturing user inputs automatically
- Exporting Tricentis qTest Explorer session reports is clunky, and it's easy to forget that you have to enable popups for the domain or nothing will seem to happen
- It would be nice if the domain we chose when signing up was actually included in the URL
- Some of the management features are a bit confusing to navigate, like adding a user to the right projects after giving them a license
- When running in MS Edge, we noticed that the Tricentis qTest Explorer report indicates the browser as Chrome.
- It's difficult or not possible to use inside VMs or on Linux. We've also had scenarios where using the web extension for Tricentis qTest Explorer slowed our product under test down too much to be able to use it.
- Highly customizable: we were able to organize our test cases in unique ways that made our work easier.
- Connectivity with Jira: being able to pull requirements information in from Jira was a big point for us.
- Standalone tool: Being a standalone tool on a dedicated server, we were able to have access to our tests regardless of whether our Jira server was down.
- Tricentis qTest wasn't particularly easy to use, especially for an organization that had not previously used to test case management tools. While there were a lot of things that you could do, the complexity made it difficult to just get started.
- Not necessarily a comment about the tool itself, but the support that we got (or rather didn't get) from Tricentis left a lot to be desired. We were left to figure out a lot of things on our own. Training and product documentation was also lackluster.
- The dedicated licenses were very expensive for a fledgling QA team. This prevented us from having enough licenses for everyone on the agile team to work with test cases. This was particularly painful because the full "read-write" license was required for anyone to just view test cases, a point that Tricentis sales staff misled us on.
- The connectivity with Jira was temperamental and took an insane amount of time to set up the end to get working reliably. Support didn't work U.S. hours, requiring us to sync with them during early morning hours.
Current (soon-to-be former) qTest User and Administrator
- The organization aspects of qTest are very good.
- When Sessions does not interrupt testing by bogging down system resources, it is helpful.
- Parameters is a great module that we have not taken full advantage of.
- Customer support has been abysmal since Tricentis took over qTest.
- Over time, it feels like the app is getting worse and worse from a performance, reporting, and integration perspective.
- Returning to support, a user should not have to write an email to support learning how to file a ticket on the support portal. The support portal could be MUCH more user-friendly.
- Locating CURRENT documentation for qTest is difficult. Once it is found, the documentation is confusing and often redirects to broken links. Recently, for example, there was verbiage that seemed to indicate that qTest was end-of-life. When I attempted to get clarification on this, Support sent me a link to the document that cause the confusion in the first place.
- When we signed on to qTest, we had a dedicated relationship manager. That lasted until shortly after the Tricentis takeover. This was very important to me as I am a high-touch client.
qTest, a glorified spreadsheet for centralized test case management that offers some additional functionality for integration & automation.
- Test Case organization and presentation
- API functionality
- Simplistic UI
- Jira Integration
- Sluggish UI and frequently degraded performance
- Lacking simple keyboard interactions like shift-clicking to select a list of test cases
- Dated UI with minimal user benefitting improvements over the years
- No support for Jira advanced roadmap fields such as 'Teams'
- Slow and unhelpful customer support
Mostly functional platform, but bad experience for me
- The ability to export test cases to other mediums
- Navigation and search capabilities of the test case repository
- Jira integration is very problematic and after three years it still does not work as it should ( after many support calls )
- Jira plugin version is not kept up to date consistently and has delayed our projects before
- Setting up test case UI is confusing and cumbersome, eventually got used to it
- Customer support is hit and miss, some agents are helpful and friendly but we have had a few that are simply rude
- We were actually told by the sales team that our team of seven was so small that they no longer wanted to do business with us. I can understand if the company only wants to target larger, enterprise customers, but in my opinion, that needs to be stated clearly on the website
- We have had several instances of downtime in the cloud, not sure what the SLA is
