Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used it to streamline our testing for the .net framework and our ansible roles molecule testing. It efficiently executed those and even helped us track potential bugs. Most of its use in our organization is for testing workflows and integration with Azure DevOps to align them with development cycles, organizing workflows in one place.
Pros
- One of the best things is that it supports both manual and automated testing.
- Along with the execution of tests, the tester can even view whether their tests pass or fail.
- Multiple testers or developers can collaborate with each other through shared dashboards, allowing them to stay on track.
Cons
- Although it is good for .net Windows-based apps, its support for mobile applications is minimal.
- Most organizations today don't use Azure DevOps, which is flexible. Support with GitHub action would help.
- Lags when performing on heavy projects and hangs a lot.
Return on Investment
- Our release went positively this month; it wiped out around 20% percent of issues if compared to the last release.
- The reusable test cases increased our bandwidth for work and reduced the testing time, due to which our deliverables were on time.
- The licensing fee for 10 members is 12,000 usd , which is way higher and underutilised.
