Google IT Support Specialist Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Spiratest Review" June 30, 2021 5.0 Well besides the cost, the over all experience is great!!! The interface has nothing to be complained about. Pros Excellent product!!! So easy to organize and manage your team. Creating requirements is quite simple . We can create software requirements and insert child features in an instant. Managing the priorities for your teams testing is a breeze with color coded priorities. Observing and handling your teams test steps is made easier to handle with the color coded labeling. Cons The only thing that I can say is that it is expensive costing over $9k per year!! Also, you have to lie $40 a month for each concurrent user. Review Source Response from Inflectra July 7, 2021 Thanks for the response, we're glad you like the product and features. On the pricing side, we are one of the few tools to price by concurrent user and we try and keep our prices to be one of the more affordable in the industry. Also the price per concurrent user decreases the more users you purchase.

The software is easy to use, but its only limitation is its lack of third-\[arty integration to some popular software packages such as RemedyForce. Pros SpiraTest is a little-known Quality Management suite, but it packs a lot under the hood. It is readily customizable, has an easily navigable UI, and its main modules are Planning )Requirements, Planning Board, Releases, Documents), Testing (Test Cases, Test Sets, Test Runs, Automation Hosts, and Configurations), Developing (Source Code, Commits, and Pull Requests) and Tracking (Incidents, Risks, Tasks, and Resources). The reports and graphs are intuitive and can be exported to a variety of formats for sharing and dissemination. Cons The one glaring feature lacking in this software package is the limited of third-party integration it supports. Currently SpiraTest doesn't have a plug-in for Remedy Integration, although there is one for SalesForce. Reason for choosing SpiraTest I don't know; it was already installed when I came onboard. Review Source Response from Inflectra August 29, 2022 Thanks for the review. Appreciate the feedback on 'Remedy' will pass that on. AG Alejandra G. Quality Assurance Lead Used the software for: ### "Spira Test Version v2.1 has many functionalities of a Robust Testing Tool." April 20, 2009 3.0 Spira Test Version v2.1 has many functionalities of a Robust Testing Tool, it is complex and has what a project needs to start testing, but it is difficult to implement and I can see project monitoring a little bit weak if the test execution was not correctly followed from the start. It would be good to see a few more features and clean up the UI to be able to have a better feeling of the projects you are currently working on. A concern is the security when using Jira integration, I don't think we need to personalize and configure every bit of the tool specially in installation files adding sensitive information should be left optional (like in other project settings). New features in the configuration management would also help to identify the items we are working on. Thanks for all your continuous support. Alejandra Gonzalez Pros \- Defects will open new ticket in Jira ( with new ID ) email notification will be set to Spira Test ID - Integration with documents from MS Office available in HTML, XML, Word and Excel formats. - Integrated with third party software: Available Jira Integration - Available to Import test cases from excel with provided SpiraTestImporterTemplate.xls - Highlights changes to requirements and test cases in History - Changes can trigger e-mail alerts or notification of users set up. - Updates are available for download in the website. - Monitor Environment and Resource Usage: Available in Application event logs from server to administrator - Can add attachments to requirements and test cases, but need to click on it to open it and the description is an alt tag to the name of file. - DB Backup options available to db administrator. - Tool support resources: Comprehensive on-line help, email, and examples supplied in demo trial. Cons \- Would like the User interface to be a little more friendly and easy to use. - Spira Test implementation needs to configure too many sensitive user information in the configuration file, would like to see another version that does not need this - Was not clear if the history of execution status is saved after many executions just saw some saved. - Email sent from Incidents created from Spira test makes tracking difficult, the subject of project. is not in the title of email, only the id, that is the next ID available for all projects. - Server performance issues, Spira Test requires too many resources. - Record and play not available in this Software version. - Need to update installation files (\*.config) for each user that is using the tool. User setup and access process is too long. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Test Lead Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Test Management Service for Modern Ways of Working" September 21, 2020 4.0 It's a well-developed testing solution with a price model that beats many other product hands down. If you have testers who walk on to cover a project, then go back to their day jobs between testing cycles, give SpiraTest another look. Pros I like the fact that a cloud-hosted version of the software is available. Cons It can be a bit too rigid in the way it expects testing to be performed, which can be a barrier to getting things done. If you don't use the software the way they expect, it can be difficult to work around it. Review Source Rahul Y. Test and Automation manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SpiraTest: Test and automation management tool" April 2, 2024 4.0 My overall experience has been good. It was one of tool which is easy to learn and get the work done. Pros The way we can manage many project at a single place. The overall tracking of testing tasks. The defect management and tracking the defect from the time of raising to fixed, re tested and closure. Cons The Automation capability could have been much more better. The UI can also be improved a little Review Source TB Tejaswi B. Test Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Probably the best test management software available!" July 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Creating and and reusing test case is very simple. It helps teams communicate regarding test cases while performing QA duties. Integration are great and also you can undo deleting. Cons UI can be imporved. The customization is not that great. Tracking modules can be improved, all these can be improved to make this good tool a great tool. Review Source Liberal R.

Pros Spira Team is flexible and ease to use in destop or web system, in dot net technologies and IIS 7.5 We hope my companies will buy these producs The customers support is very good. The cost is very low alongside other products and very good benefits Cons Have not found any yet Review Source Evelyn G. Business Analyst Food Production Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "SPIRA" June 21, 2016 4.0 I have used several testing softwares, and SPIRA works very well at organizing test cases and test steps. Love the Excel tie-in for easy import/export of test cases. Allows a great deal of functionality at a decent price point. Ev Pros Excel Add-In allows authoring and exporting test cases/steps in Excel. Provides a great deal of metrics. We're using it for requirements and the requirements to components to test case structure is highly flexible. Cons Test Case Execution doesn't show pictures in full for the expected result, but works awesomely for the actual result. Review Source XE Xavier E. Quality and Test Architect Lead Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "You don't need to spend a lot of money in a Test Management Tool - Use SpiraTest" February 1, 2019 5.0 Pros Great usability. It has a lot of features, easy to configure and customize. We need to migrate our projects from HP QC/ALM to SpiraTest and it has a great tool to migrate everything (releases, traceability, requirements, test cases, executions, ...). We've tested in some projects and works great. Cons It needs only more BI or reporting customization, but I think is enough now for most projects. Some other integrations will be great, like some tools for exploratory or acceptance testing (Microfocus Sprinter, ...). Review Source SV Sandie V. Information Technology and Services Used the software for: ### "Good Test Tool plus Excellent Support" November 25, 2014 5.0 Having undertaken a lot of research, I found SpiraTest to be a very good balance of cost vs. functionality. The trial period proved very useful to truly test that the product met all our needs. Also, as the trial version could be included in our purchased copy, we didn't lose any of the data we'd input. I found the support team to be excellent, they replied quickly and cheerfully to all my questions and was one of the deciding factors in buying this product. Pros Flexible, easy to use system Offers integration with other products Provides a lot of functionality, some of which we will use at once and some we can introduce gradually Cons Have not found any yet Review Source TK Tarun K. Manager QC Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Spira Hosted Solution" December 5, 2016 4.0 I am into quality assurance and testing. We were always looking out for a test repository that can help the team in sharing test assets and also produce reports. SPIRA lets us do both. We are only using SPIRA to define what we use in our requirement and defect tracking tool. It has been very helpful in showing test runs to the senior management as well. Pros Ease of use and it's setup Cons Excel functionality to export test cases needs an improvement as we cannot export only a limited set of test cases. Review Source AG Arpit G. Team Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It provide a good repository for Test Docs. Execution w.r.t. each release is very easy" August 16, 2017 4.0 very good test case repository easy test execution amazing reporting Pros The Ui and Test Case structure is amazing, it has got folder structure so that users can setup the modules per folder per release. It has wonderful export and import feature where user can easily import the test cases from excel sheets Cons It has very poor response time when user copies and paste the test cases. Sometimes there are no updates on screen initially and after two mins user see multiple copies of tests Review Source SQEQ SR QA Engineer Q. SR QA Engineer Used the software for: ### "Excellent Product with Very Low Cost (ownership) backed by Top of the line Support." June 12, 2012 5.0 Very highly recommend, especially to small teams (may be upto 50). We are a small team and this product seem to top our evaluation of about 15 products. We wanted something that works with JIRA; then selenium and TCL scripts. And this does all of those with good QA test management. This may be our product of choice. Pros Has all the features we need to manage our SQA dept. Excellent integration to bug tracking tools. Great integration with automation testing for our needs - web, api as well as shell scripts. Excellent product, superb customer support. Very easy to setup and use. Great documentation. Excellent support - we are still evaluating this tool (along with bunch of other tools) and these guys respond to every question (even small) with very detailed explanation and very promptly. Customer service rating is 10 STAR not just 5 star. Cons None. Yes - none that are holding us back. In this budget range their reporting features are more than what we could expect (very good), though few additional improvements may be made. Note, we have not tried to customize them yet. Review Source BK Ben K. Support/Test Used the software for: ### "Spiratest Review" October 21, 2013 2.0 We have found that some of the things we want to be able to do, which we believe most software companies would like to do are not available. When we discuss this with support, they are very responsive, but don't seem to understand what we are trying to achieve, so we work with them for 3-4 days and then they say ' Oh you can't do that'. An example, is as follows:- We now need to test our software running on Windows 2012R2. Through the software there is a way to see what has been tested on 2012, but it is impossible to get a report of a view of things that have not been run against 2012. We think this is quite fundamental. The good things about Spiratest is that support is very responsive. Review Source Response from Inflectra October 21, 2013 We have consistently tried to explain to them the difference between Test Runs and Test Cases and how the reports work, but I think they have some specific reporting needs that do not come out of the box. For the stated example, the Test Case and Test Set Summary reports show what needs to be executed and the Test Run report shows what has been executed. There is an ability to create custom reports in the latest version, but I think they didn't want to go down this route for some reason. GW Graham W. Managing Director Used the software for: ### "Great Test Management Tool" January 30, 2013 4.0 If looking for a test management tool that integrates with other tools well and provides the basic tools required for test planning then I can highly recommend SpiraTest. Pros Great at test management. Especially useful to use is the automation client and integration with unit testing. We use NUnit (also support MsUnit) for our unit testing and having the results reflected straight back into SpiraTest is amazingly useful. We also have TestComplete on a testing machine and can schedule Tests within Spira Test to run on the machine under Test Complete. Makes regression testing much easier. Also integrates with a wide range of bug trackers. Cons Installation/ Uninstall of 3.2 was problematic these problems seem to be fixed in the latest installers and the upgrade from 3.2 to 4 was simple. Great customer support with a commitment to getting things working. Review Source AT Arie T. Mr. Used the software for: ### "Spiratests is for us qualified to support our testorganisation and even improve our organisation." April 9, 2009 4.0 Spiratests is for us qualified to support our testorganisation and even improve our organisation. We just installed it and used it. All users are surprised with the results. Pros Easy tu use and to implement. Even with relative small knowledge of testing organisation. Our testeam is very enthousiastic of the results. We are testing a major upgrade and we are using this project to test Spiratest. We have a clear overview now of the the testresults. Because of the furtures of the software we also learn to improve our testorganisation. Cons Difficult to install on a pc as a common user. However. For system administrators the installation software makes it easy for people with their skills. Review Source CC Celeste C. QA Manager Used the software for: ### "Easy and intuitive to learn with helpful documentation and exceptionally prompt support" April 27, 2015 4.0 Quite different from Test Director that we had been using so obviously need to get used to it, but as it is so easy and intuitive to learn, and not too difficult to soon remember how to do things without having to refer to any documentation, it is hopefully going to be quite straightforward to use. All the documentation provided has been very useful and easy to follow and I have found the support to be exceptional, with all of my queries being automatically logged pretty instantly and answers provided within 24 hours without exception, I believe. I even found it easy to follow the instructions to install the Import/Export Excel add-on and successfully exported a test and test steps into SpiraTest on the first attempt! No issues at all so far that I can think of! :-) Review Source JA Jaime A. Sr. Manager Used the software for: ### "The product is evolving and getting more useful. A tutorial for testers and for managers will." August 15, 2008 4.0 The product is evolving and getting more useful. A tutorial for testers and for managers will be very useful. Specially for some of the testers, they need to get use to work with a testing software and it might be a big change in their work habit. Pros The product has most of the features we need. Quick, effective an friendly support. Cons Missing printer friendly capability for graphics/histograms Missing capability to export a graph/figure The test report doesn't export to Excel the test steps, only tabular information. After a refresh, the page comes back to the top, in stead of remembering the current scroll position Review Source PM P M. Test & Release Analyst Used the software for: ### "Great tool at a great price!" March 1, 2016 5.0 Really intuitive and easy to use. Does everything we need it to: - captures requirements - allows us to plan and design tests (and map requirements to them) - execute test runs and log incidents on the fly - with the option of managing incidents separately too - brilliant how related artefacts keep track of each other and the users can, at a glance, assess the overall progression of testing - document collaboration - really flexible and easy to customise from an Admin perspective as well - LDAP and email notification functionality really useful - huge array of useful add-ons - absolutely inexpensive when compared to HP Quality Centre. Review Source KA Kwaku A. QA Manager Used the software for: ### "It is pitched at a good price. Everybody at various levels of literacy/technicality can learn ot us" December 12, 2008 4.0 It is pitched at a good price. Everybody at various levels of literacy/technicality can learn ot use iteasily and quickly and get on with it, therefore no need for expensive training or support. When support is required, response is quick, concise and clear. Excellent Pros Fantastic tool - I hate complicated tools, there's no cleverness in that. A tool needs to be sensible and practical, SpiraTest definitely is. Can be used for different development methods. Its quite cool. Cons There will always be a few but cant think of any right now. Review Source VP Vasantha P. QA Analyst Used the software for: ### "Very good. I can recommend to my friends." February 26, 2009 5.0 Very good. I can recommend to my friends. Pros It meets our needs and very user friendly. I like the easy upload tool, the Spiratest Importer and the arrangement of data into the spiratest. The settings can be changed easily and it gives an overall ease of use. Cons The colors in ST are too bright and the presence of lots of options, although good to have, are a little confusing. The Help center does not display all the documentation. Some of the help topics are missing. Review Source AK Ashish K. Asst Mgr -QA Used the software for: ### "Low Priced tool, value for money." October 19, 2012 4.0 In all, the tool is almost there on top, but need some UI revamp which we are hoping in V4.0. Let me know if 4.0 beta version is available for demo view Pros Good and simple UI, Rich features Cons Should have good reporting capabilities- Graphical reporting - (pie charts, bar graphs) Test case management is not very intuitive- Cut, copy and paste, move test cases across the test case folders, test sets is not easy Incident Management - multiple tabs are not too user friendly Review Source BV Bilge V. Software Developer in Test Used the software for: ### "SpiraTest " March 8, 2015 5.0 In our company we began using SpiraTest to run our automated tests and also getting the test run results both for manual and automated tests. It's quite powerful. Short time ago I had some difficulties on integrating selenium webdriver tests to SpiraTest. I wrote emails directly to Inflectra and in a very short time they answered with some advices. It didn't work at first sight, so I wrote back and they replied quite quickly. Customer Service is great, they don't stop till giving you the right answer. I advise everybody to use SpiraTest. Review Source JK Joanna K. Test Lead Used the software for: ### "Nice and user frliendly" November 13, 2012 4.0 I would reccomend everyone to use it - its easy and powerful. just a very perfect price/functionality approach Pros Very flexible in customisation, Easy requirement and test creation and execution, possibility to different level of test status set up. I realy love the scope of addins that make testers life easier Cons No component testing approach but comparing to HP QC this looks like and only one disadvantage Review Source SP Scott P. Group QA / Test Manager Used the software for: ### "Inflectra SpiraTest" August 11, 2014 4.0 I have used spiratest within a few companies I have worked for now within the testing realm. I find it easy to use, easy to configure and shape the product to your needs. All round it does the job and easy to facilitate and manage the system. Only useful feature that in my opinion is missing at present is the requirements configuration. It would be really nice to shape the processes how you see fit like the incident configuration management. Otherwise the product is great Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
