"This company offers end-to-end capabilities for test suite creation and execution. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the tagging system. Tags are highly valuable, as they allow you to assign tags to your test cases. When there's an impact in a specific area, you can search for and run all test cases associated with that tag. I find this functionality very useful."
"It allows us to test both desktop and web applications."

"There could be API interfaces with this tool."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
