Argos Limited QA team was able to save more than $180,000 a year by replacing ALM/QC with TestRail:
“The savings from TestRail was a significant amount—you can do a bit with that. That’s 4-5 extra heads on the team.”

Micro Focus ALM/QC is a legacy tool, and the user interface is old, clunky, and hard to use. Test case creation is so time-consuming that many ALM/QC users report using an Excel add-in to write test cases. Also, it requires manual traceability between test evidence and stories. In addition to that, ALM/QC doesn’t have a native integration with Jira and offers rigid reports that cannot be adjusted to meet the unique wants and needs of its users. It also comes with high overhead costs.
TestRail has better performance and a more intuitive UI so that teams can complete more work in less time
TestRail has native integration with Jira
TestRail is a more scalable solution with flexible and customizable workflows that support modern Agile and DevOps development methodologies
TestRail gives you the ability to customize your QA processes to fit your specific testing workflows and easily integrate with your tech stack using TestRail’s extensive API, webhooks, or the TestRail CLI
TestRail comes at a fraction of the cost of ALM/QC. This allows QA teams to either expand the users that have access to your test management platform, which improves test visibility and team collaboration, or deploy those saved resources to other high-value testing projects or tools
