A glance of HipTest from a simple tester
Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
HipTest is being used in my company mainly for running automated regressions for scenarios with different levels of priority in our test environments, but also we use this tool to track the progress of the testing of the stories during every sprint (we work with SCRUM methodology). We have this tool linked to Jira so in this way we can see in Jira the progress of the testing in HipTest for each ticket but in HipTest we can see a general overview of the progress of all tickets included as part of the "test run" ("test run" is the term used in Hiptest to make reference to a set of tests).
Pros
- Good integration with Jira
- Includes integration with different tools for different porpuses
- You can build your own framework to automate scenarios and make it work with Hiptest
Cons
- UX is not too obvious and easy (like generating a data table in a scenario or including a scenario in a test run) but you can get used to it relatively easy by playing around with the options, also the documentation is helpful.
- To get extra functionalities you have to pay for them separately.
Likelihood to Recommend
HipTest is good and helpful to create and run functional regressions but it is more complicated to use this tool to create and run API testing scenarios (it does not mean it can not be done). This tool is definitively not appropriate for running performance testing scenarios.
