What is QAComplete?

QAComplete is a performance testing tool from SmartBear. The vendor says QAComplete was built from the ground-up to be an easy-to-use test case management tool, adapting to the user's existing processes and empowering users to manage all of their manual and automated tests with ease, while reporting on all test results in one central location. The vendor's goal is for QAComplete to allows users to spend less time managing tests and focus on what they do best; making great software.


Categories & Use Cases

QA Complete is a great tool for the tech savvy

Pros

  • Handles the administration and designation of QA hotfixes and bugs that are reported throughout multiple project groups.
  • Allows for a fairly easy way to communicate statuses of bugs.
  • Does a decent job of keeping team members engaged in the progress of said bugs.

Cons

  • The user interface can be somewhat perplexing and difficult to navigate at times.
  • Naming conventions aren't always succinct and additional training is needed by those who have more experience using the program.
  • A modern refresh of the UI would help keep the product from looking dated.

Return on Investment

  • From our side, it's been very easy to pick up on bugs reported by our clients. It's a great ROI for the cost as they are fairly minimal in comparison to other QA software.
  • I think a negative impact can be the administration of QA items. It definitely feels a bit bogged down.
  • My last negative would be that I don't believe it syncs in any way with the Atlassian software suite. I could be wrong on this but manual entry from system to system can be daunting at times.

QAComplete - Useful for software and firmware development teams.

Pros

  • Allows us to create individual tests then group them into comprehensive test plans.
  • Allows me to specify custom fields that match our product features to categorize both tests and defects.
  • Allows me to create a series of requirements then match tests against them for validation.

Cons

  • The recent changes to the defect management page are not user-friendly. When working to log defects in sequence it would be best if a default set of folders/tests could be used.

Return on Investment

  • Helped us in increase the quality of our firmware releases.
  • Helps us continuously improve our testing
