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.

Overall

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
