What to measure in a proof of concept

Three numbers decide most of the five-year difference between any two tools, and none of them is on a price list. Get each vendor to run a trial on your own application and time these:

Enter those in the calculator in place of the estimates, add the quotes when they arrive, and the comparison is evidence you can put in front of procurement.

Questions

Which is cheaper, Opkey or Tricentis?

That is a trial question. This comparison models cost, not coverage.
