• Fast, modern interface that testers actually enjoy using.
• Excellent first-party reporters for Playwright, Cypress, pytest and others.
• Free tier makes evaluation and small-team use realistic.

• Best-in-class handling of automated results — live ingestion, history, flakiness tracking.
• Builds on Allure Report, which many teams already generate.
• Self-hosting available for regulated environments.

• Smaller vendor than Idera or SmartBear; enterprise procurement may push back.
• Fewer enterprise compliance features than the incumbents.
• Jira integration is good but not Jira-native.

• Manual testing features are weaker than in manual-first tools.
• Requires an existing automation culture to deliver value.
• Smaller vendor and community.
