qMetry Vs. Xray Comparison

July 15, 2021

Deciding between Test Management Tools is a big challenge. There are several excellent free software Test Management Software tools, as well as paid test management solutions available. The three we will be comparing today are qMetry Vs. Xray, along with our free AccelaTest. While the three are all great options for creating test cases, test data, and executing tests, deciding which software tool is best for your QA team will come down to cost, your QA process, and the features your team demands.

Summary of Comparison

Before getting into the fine-level details of each of the software testing applications, we will analyze their core test management solution features.

What is each of the software testing tools going to cost?

Both qMetry and Xray require a subscription. In contrast,  the features in AccelaTest are, and always will be, completely free.

The pricing for each test case management tool is as follows:

  • qMetry : Quote Required
  • Xray: Starts at $10 / year
  • AccelaTest: price is always $0.00 per user per month

Additionally, both of these solutions do offer a free trial. In the pricing arena, AccelaTest is the clear winner for being the only no-cost solution that supports your entire testing process, including automated testing.

How do the tools rank as a Test Case Management Solution?

Test Case Management tools should be great at managing test cases and the SDLC. Fortunately, all three contenders deliver on their ability to manage tests and offer the ability to clone tests. The most notable differences between the tools are a lack of Session-based exploratory testing for qMetry and AccelaTest and the inability to reuse test repositories for Xray. AccelaTest is still in active development and working towards adding the nice-to-have features. As the core features offered by all the tools in this arena are roughly the same, and the missing features may not be needed by all teams, we declare a tie.

How do the tools rank on the ability to Manage Test Runs?

The ability to run your test cases and report the results out is of equal importance. Fortunately, once again, all three contenders deliver on this both the ability to run tests and report results. The most notable differences are Xray’s inability to mark a test result in a single click. Once again, the AccelaTest team is hard at work adding enhancements to test automation. Once all of the automated testing enhancements are complete, AccelaTest will be the clear winner in this category.
