QA/Test Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best test management and execution tool for productivity of manual/exploratory testing teams" April 3, 2023 5.0 \- Test case management has become very easy and time-saving- The speed of test case execution has increased significantly For an application which is free of cost, switching from other test management tools like TestRail, HP ALM is a no-brainer. Pros I like that TestFirst focuses on improving productivity of software testers by the means of carefully designed and implemented features. Some of my favorite features are:- The "Test Fragments" feature: The test cases can be treated as an individual test cases or as a precondition for another test case. It saves a lot of time and effort while writing tests and performing test maintenance.- The in-built annotation tool: Rather than taking a screenshot, pasting it in another image editing application and highlighting the sections of the screenshot, TestFirst improves productivity by proving screenshot taking and annotating within the application.- Jira integration ensures that the test cases' details concerning the related tickets can be seen directly in Jira, without the need to switch to the TestFirst application. Cons \- There is a learning curve towards using the application to get the most productivity. During the initial phase, one is tempted to resort back to usual ways of executing tests. Reason for choosing TestFirst \- It's free- It improves the productivity of manual/exploratory testers- Pleasing UI and UX- Saves significant time Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 5, 2023 Hi Hanzelah, We thank you for your time in reviewing TestFirst. Happy to hear that you managed to get the best out of the tool. We will work to address the cons you've listed to soften the learning curve. CK Cem K. VP of Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent for boosting manual testing" May 9, 2023 5.0 Amazing for a free tool. No down-side for trying it out and it will pay off quite nicely. Pros Test capture is just impressive. Amazing tool for either creating a suite from scratch or expanding one. Cons Very minor and infrequent UI transition glitches, and this is the only thing I can think of. Alternatives considered [TestRail](https://www.capterra.com/p/128204/TestRail/) Reason for choosing TestFirst No cost! Zero! And usability is so much more advanced from TestRail.

There is no need to switch between tabs or windows to add steps while writing test cases as the app allows you to write steps and attach screenshots while you are testing. Also it is so easy to create a bug as the steps to reproduce are automatically captured. For a manual QA, probably these two are the most painful points which are resolved in this application. The next best part is that the application has only necessary details and is not cluttered with too much information to wade around and fill. It lets the user to concentrate on what they really want to achieve. And the third one is that the team is receptive to feedback and they keep enhancing the product. Cons This is not a real minus but just that, I would have liked it better if there was an option to use as a website than as a desktop application. Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 5, 2023 Hi, We thank you for taking the time to review TestFirst. Happy to hear that TestFirst helps increase your productivity during manual testing. We aim to develop a simplified web version of TestFirst and this is in our pipeline. In the meantime, I would highly recommend installing our Jira app that brings some of the TestFirst functionality to Jira's UI (and hence to the web!). Thank you. Rajith D. Software Architect Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Comprehensive test management tool for increased productivity, simplified interface and it's free" April 18, 2023 5.0 Pros TestFirst is a very easy to use, user intuitive tool. I can create manual test cases, execute them on the go using the exploratory testing feature, very impressive. It's a very feature-rich tool yet UI looks very simple and do not distract users with too much information. It has Jira integration support and it's easy to create bugs including all necessary information. Also, visual representation of the test plans, tests are very powerful, it help teams to easily track progress. Cons Reports are not customisable, and has only in-built basic reports. Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 20, 2023 Hi Rajith, We are happy to hear that you find TestFirst easy to use. We noted down your feedback on the reports and plan to introduce customizable reports with different types. PS Priya S. QA Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "TestFirst Review End To End - Hands on Experience" April 20, 2023 4.0 My overall experience with TestFirst was seamless and easy. I loved its UI and the fact that it runs the Tests so much faster than the other test tools I had used before. Pros The most liked feature is the product response time. It is very fast both UI-wise and practically executing tests-wise. I honestly did not face any technical glitch or delay while working on TestFirst. It was absolutely seamless and easy.I also loved the customizations feature a lot, where users have the opportunity to customize the System's fields as per their own requirements.The UI design of the product was very easy to understand which makes it very accessible even for a beginner. I think that's why it would have an edge over other competitive tools in Test management. Cons When we open a test case, we have a heading that says "View Test Case" on top. I feel there should also be a button, or tab for editing the TC once we are on the view page. One can also incorporate delete, and duplicate buttons on the view TC page also. I know that right-clicking on the TC will show these options, but once we open the TC, if these options show, it would be more workable for users. Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 25, 2023 Hi Priya, Thank you for your review. We noted down your requests regarding the View Test Case tab and will be incorporating these features in the coming releases. SB Shelly B. Test Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Test First future of test management " April 11, 2023 5.0 Pros The ease of test case creation and execution is the most that I liked about test first. With test case editor the in built feature to take screenshots is very useful you don’t need an extra tool for that.Writing test cases with exploratory testing is the best feature, it very easy to keep the records for such test cases and much less time is required.Integrations with Jira to create defects for failed test cases removes the extra work from testers.The time saved in test case writing and defect reporting can be utilised in executions which will result in a better product . Cons Test First is a complete tool in it self but I would like to see voice recording option while uploading a video.Sometimes it is better to record a video and upload with test case to help the developer understand the actual defect. Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 13, 2023 We thank you for your review and the feedback. We noted your request for voice recording option and will incorporate it in the upcoming versions of TestFirst. SN Stephanie N.

I am able to save a considerable amount of time with Test First using the exploratory testing feature and its test execution module which has an encompassing screenshot capture and jira integration capabilities. If you are looking for a user-friendly, intuitive test management software. this is it. Pros The Tool’s User interface is not overwhelming and not cramped with elements that are distracting. Cons If more platforms are supported like MacOS and linux, however, I understand this is still in the works. Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 25, 2023 Hi, Thank you for your comments.

We imported our existing test cases using the in-built import feature without issues. Onboarding was almost immediate due to the extensive customization options; we could adapt to our project needs. The test execution module is an innovative, thoughtful implementation; users can perform test execution without missing any tiny details. Test Plans page displays instant status updates for each test plan. It's easier to track the progress of testing efforts. Overall it's great for teams that perform frequent regression testing. Cons Nothing much, so far TestFirst is perfect for our project needs Review Source Response from FirstCall QA April 25, 2023 Hi Sonia, Glad to hear that you find TestFirst well suited to your needs.
