Management of reports and continuous integration with BDD in cucumber.

We have managed to fill in the gaps that Postman has left wide open in being able to share reports with teammates, using BDD/Cucumber in API testing, and being able to integrate with Jira.
Pros
What I like about this software is the fact that I can perform API, Web UI, and Mobile Applications testing all in one suite.
Cons
You guys are making improvements on your reporting tool, but it used to be a major headache.

We adopted the tool after I highly spoke of it to higher management as they trust me as our main testing tool on the current project I'm working on.
Pros
It allow to somebody with no or little coding knowledge to get started in test automation with its intuituous interface and built in keywords.
Cons
Some glitches still exist in some fields such as soap api calls where not all endpoints are loaded correctly and some improvemetns could be done in order to completely replace soap ui usage in my case.

Using this tool has really helped us in our automation framework for easy management of building customize libraries using page objects identification plus providing code export feature.
Pros
I really like the code export feature as this is something which is missing in Selenium FF Add-on and it becomes very helpful in building automation framework with customize code.
Cons
Code deployment to different environment and integration with DevOps.

Mostly for API testing and cross-browser testing.
Pros
It supports a good amount of testing types, from API to Cross-browser.
Cons
For now, it works great - but there is still a limitation in some script languages, which might become an issue in the future. The platform is a closed source- something that takes it toll on the community around it - which is small, for now. I believe making the platform open-source will drive in the community more developers and users.
