Testpad Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

It's a good tool for manual testing. Tests can be written very easily and it makes it very easy to pass tests on to other, even non-technical, coworkers so that they can complete them too. Great for testing new features, Bugs and especially regression-testing. Test reports can also be shared publicly, so there's no need to create accounts for customers to be able to see the tests results.

One of the most useful features is the ability to tag test steps to only make them available for specific test runs, eg making certain steps only available to test runs for mobile devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately the interface gets in the way more often than not. The developers insist on overwriting your browser's right-click function, which is something I strongly dislike in Webapps. If a Webapp runs in a browser, it should allow native browser functionality. It feels very strongly as if they wanted to write a Desktop App, but had to settle for a Webapp instead.

Lots of small things are way more difficult/cumbersome than they should be, such as editing test steps after completing a testrun (eg adding comments to explain the problem) requires you to first change the testrun's status to "In Progress" (the bar you need to click on to do so is very flashy, but simultaneously confusing and not user friendly at all). When editing a test step in a completed run you have to be careful to press escape instead of the big green and Red Pass and Fail buttons, otherwise it changes your testrun's status back to "completed", which is an annoyance when you want to edit multiple test steps. Or having to manually uncheck "Inherit Test Results" when starting a new test run (this should really be opt-in by default, not opt-out).

These things sound like small annoyances, but many such small annoyances lead to a very counter-intuitive interface. For a tool that should be very simple, we lose way too much time trying to explain to new employees how to work with it. I still get confused with its interface from time to time, and I've been using it for more than a year.

Had it been up to me, I would not use this tool. I find the user interface one of the most infuriating I have to work with on a regular basis. I strongly recommend that the developers reconsider their interface in terms of simplicity and predictability. Good user interface design is one of the most important things to keep in mind when designing a tool like this and I feel like that didn't get nearly enough attention during the development of Testpad. This is exactly why designing according to KISS principles is so important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick and easy to start using, and helps me ensure that my 50th round of testing is just as detailed as my 5th. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaints about this app and feel confident asking my team to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

easy to use; easy to navigate but there are enough options to organize the test scripts; there are plenty of places to put in comments regarding test script/ test results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The test needs to be structured to be a either a definite positive or negative, so each 'test' needs to be worded pretty specific. It's good for regression checklist but if a new bug comes up there's not a great way to indicate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
