"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."
"The ability to time test runs gives the tester the ability to compare calculated times to actual times it takes for a test case to run."
"We would also like to manage the integration testing end-to-end."
"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."
"Better prediction of text."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"TestRail's user interface is not great. When you use it for the first time, you will be very uncomfortable and not know how to create test cases. It doesn't have a field for preconditions and post-conditions."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
