Aggregate ratings are more positive than negative, but the small number of ratings and the presence of one-star ratings leave room for differing experiences. Ratings alone do not identify specific strengths or problems. For a buyer, the listed automatic test coverage and display are relevant capabilities, but the ratings cannot confirm how well they perform in practice.
