Director of QA Used the software for: ### "For me I look for a tool that allows me to get my job done faster." September 10, 2008 4.0 For me I look for a tool that allows me to get my job done faster and still provide me the data I need. This tool does that and with the enhancements that are planed it will actually be very valuable for other portions of our company. The other thing I look for is a responsive customer & tech support team. Inflectra has hands down the best support teams I have ever worked with. Makes all the difference when you can tell them what you need to product to do and the actually address your needs. Pros I really love this tool it does exactly what I need as a QA manager and gives me a lot of flex ability. The best part is the service. From the phone support to the responsiveness of the development team I could not be happier with this purchase. This is the first QA application I have ever used that I could say that about. If you are looking for a tool to track REQs, Releases, Test Cases, and Defects this is what you are looking for. Cons I can't really think of any cons with the product or the service. Anything I can thing of they are in the process of adding to the code. Review Source John B. QA Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "null" July 14, 2015 5.0 Review Source OL Ovidiu L. Senior Test Engineer Used the software for: ### "Overall, SpiraTest gets a 9 out of 10 for its reach functionality and ease to use. " June 12, 2009 5.0 Overall, SpiraTest gets a 9 out of 10 for its reach functionality and ease to use. 9 because there also is room for improvement and because, even though we consider it to be the best tool that fits our needs, we would have wanted functionality that allows us to reuse test cases easily. Pros Excellent Customer Support, starting from the first day of evaluation. Easy to implement and to use. Offers integration with Jira and it uses more or less the same look and feel. Excellent Price ! Very customizable. Possibility to attach files without size limit. Very good reporting options, migration options and e-mail notification options. Project based. Cons It is not possible to use test cases from one project to another, even though some functionality can be common. However, this does not happen in all the companies, only a few might need to use the same test cases when testing two projects with common functionality. Review Source TL Torsten L. Software Test Manager Used the software for: ### "Not for everyone" October 10, 2012 3.0 Spiratest has a lot of features but is very annoying to work with. If you have a very rigid development process it might be a product for you but if you are into more agile processes and/or get annoyed by bad UX this is not a product for you. Pros Very feature rich Cons Slow Extremely lousy inline editing of test cases UX needs major improvements You loose edits of test steps if pressing save before update Workflow is very waterfall or V-model centric. Review Source Response from Inflectra October 10, 2012 We're sorry to hear that Torsten didn't find SpiraTest appropriate for his organization. The version he's using is not the most recent one and many of his items of feedback have already been addressed, and the others are addressed in the upcoming v4.0 release. Specifically the feedback around Agile is interesting since SpiraTest provides built-in support for user stories, sprints (iterations), unit test integration and acceptance tests mapped to user stories. The UI has been completely updated in our v4.0 release which addresses the UX issues. P Peter Used the software for: ### "Working synchronisation with JIRA" July 9, 2013 4.0 Spiratest is a complete test management software that works well together with JIRA. We were looking for a test management software that can be used together with our locally hosted JIRA system and for a specific project. We couldn't install a test management plugin and a local installation of a test management solution was either too expensive or to complex. Spiratest Hosted Service offers the possibility to synchronize with a local JIRA via a desktop tool. With the help of Inflectra support we got it running. Pros \- Have a complete test management solution for the time needed - Working synchronisation with JIRA - Easy-to-install desktop utility for synchronisation - low setup and operating costs. Cons \- The synchronisation runs only with a desktop utility - You cannot selectively synchronise JIRA-issues, e.g. certain issue types or issues from a defined start date. - Usability. The user interface needs improvement. Review Source VKP Vino Kumar P. UI / UX Designer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Prefect Monitoring Solution for Testing" March 16, 2018 5.0 Pros The User Interface and Test Case structure is amazing. ST got folder structure so that users can setup the modules per folder per release. I can execute same test case for each release. Cons The lack of branching and versioning of test cases. Need to improve in requirements for test steps. SpiraTest requires too many resources Review Source RK Rajesh K. Test Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "maintenance is very easy, loved the folder structure" August 23, 2017 4.0 Execution cycle is maintained Repository Easy to share Pros the release wise maintenance of folders and test cases are very good, user can execute same test case for each release Cons filters and copy fasting the test cases is very poor, sometimes it hang for all users who are logged in at the time someone copies it Review Source AL Anna L. QA Manager Used the software for: ### "SpiraTest 2.2" September 30, 2009 5.0 Excellent value for money Pros Very rich functionality, close to HP Quality Center, in some areas even better Excellent customer support, bug fixes and enhancements available, features requested by customers are implemented Very affordable price Easy to implement, no complex software / hardware pre-requisites, an average Windows user can manage to install Easy to understand functionality, very little training required, most of the features user friendly Cons Some features are not very user friendly: Association of requirements to test cases and calling a test from another test case No dynamic call of parameters Review Source IS Ivar S. Consultant Used the software for: ### "OK - but misses functionality in integration interface" January 25, 2011 3.0 neutral as per now. Pros I have only checked out the integration with other systems - Jira on my part. Nice setup for mapping the fields and parameters in integration with JIRA. Cons I find the user interface very messy and 'undelicate'. The main reason for us to consider SpiraTeam is to have one 'own' system for the QA team. Everything else is in Jira. However - the mapping from Jira to SpiraTeam misses requirements. The only thing that can be sync'ed are Incidents. And we are not happy to call a use case or feature enhancement in Jira an incident in SpiraTeam. I have logged this with support. Review Source BN Bryan N. General Manager Products and Services Used the software for: ### "I would recommend SpiraTest without any reservations to large and small companies." February 24, 2009 5.0 I would recommend SpiraTest without any reservations to large and small companies who want to take testing seriously. Pros SpiraTest is a lightweight and affordable but full featured testing tool. We use it extensively to manage requirements and test conditions with a full integration with our JIRA issue tracking implementation. I must compliment Inflectra/SpiraTest on their incredible support services. They respond quickly to issues on the few times I have needed to use them and have provided answers extemely quickly and with minimal fuss. Cons Only works on Microsoft SQL and Windows at the moment. Review Source KD Kristiaan Davies Used the software for: ### "SpiraTest Review." October 29, 2013 5.0 I'll keep this short as i don't think i need to write paragraphs. This is a fantastic piece of software, it was easy to put in place on our own server, has run faultlessly since its initial setup and any problems we encountered were taken care of by Inflectra's support very quickly. Pros allows multiple ways to setup tests to match different workflows. provides a very good reporting overview to help clarify what is going on with testing. Cons integration with bug tracking systems could be easier to get working and provide a better feature set, but this is not the end of the world as for what we want it works fine. Review Source SQ Steven Q. Quality Assurance Used the software for: ### "Too many requirements" May 15, 2012 1.0 i can't make a recommendation as this was never installed. .NET 4.0 was installed and then it showed me the other requirements so the install was cancelled. Pros Unkown - Never installed Cons There were way too many software requirements to install this software: .Net, MS Visual Studio, and IIS. The QA machines here are not development environments, and certainly not web servers. There should be no need to require all of those to install testing software. Review Source Response from Inflectra May 15, 2012 We're sorry that the user didn't contact us first. There is actually a SaaS hosted demo option as well which is provisioned within minutes and only requires a web browser. GS Gabby S. Director of QA Used the software for: ### "Good product, some cons" February 10, 2010 4.0 For a company how had no test management tool before this is a good step in the right direction with reasonable ROI. For an organization with methodology and reporting needs and large amount of users, this is not good Pros Very easy to use - self explanatory The basic dashboard and reports are ok Easy to install Good documentation Cons Limited customization options No documentation to reports customization Poor response time when the DB starts to get loaded - the client performance is poor while the srever resources are hardely consumed. Review Source CT Claus T. Senior Test Specialist Used the software for: ### "Highly adaptable and flexible solution that has lifted our test organization." March 8, 2016 4.0 When we started out using SpiraTest nearly 4 years ago, we didn't have a structured process for mapping Requirements to Test Case coverage, or indeed test results. We started out from scratch, and have since expanded the use of the tool inside our organization to our remote location also. SpiraTest has enabled us to gain clear tracability and easy test case management, that makes regression test planning easy, and development of new test cases clear. We look forward to the continued development of the Web interface for test execution, which is the only drawback I can see compared to other solutions on the market. Review Source SC Shitalkumar C. Head QA and Operations Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Manage your tests with Spira test" November 20, 2018 4.0 Spira test is good test management tool. This gives good flexibility to manage your whole STLC at a place. You can link your defects to your tests. One can run test set multiple time for regression. Pros \-Ease of use, easy to understand -Manages whole STLC together -Can be linked with requirements -Managing of test suites is very easy -Test run within tool Cons \-Less possibilities of customization -Support for upgrades can be improved Review Source FS Frankco S. Test Analyst & Trainer Used the software for: ### "Don't under estimate" December 7, 2009 5.0 I have worked on Test Director v8.0 for several years and this tool was good as gold. When I joined the Health sector, the hospital just purchased SpiraTest and I really under estimated Spira. Giving it benefit of the doubt, I was really astonished using Spira. It is really a one-stop tool and meets all the requirements from Project Manager to Tester. The support I got from Spira was excellent and looking forward renewing our contract. Frankco Pros I really appreciate the Dashboard, as it provides a one stop shop. Cons Performance is a bit slow and not sure, because of IE6. Review Source MB Mark B. Lead EE Computer Hardware Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "i don't want your software" March 28, 2019 1.0 hard sales pushing without regards towards user experience on trial signup. cannot cancel trial. cannot be removed from emails, which is illegal. this is a form of harassment which is unwelcome in the current technology climate. change your ways !! Pros nothing about it interests me and i do not want your trial. Cons forced signup. no way to cancel trial. no way to opt-out of emails, which is illegal in the U.S. Review Source Response from Inflectra April 2, 2019 I am sorry that you were unhappy with the trial of SpiraTest and your experience overall. We send the emails upon signup unless indicated otherwise to assist with the onboarding experience. Many customers find them helpful, I am sorry that you did not. We are always happy to unsubscribe you after the fact and/or cancel a trial, just reply to our email with Unsubscribe. Happy to assist further. PL Pierre L. Used the software for: ### "Functionality is ok, user interface is pokey but reliable; generated reports are mostly terrible" September 13, 2015 3.0 As long as you don't need to generate printable output spiratest provides very good functionality for the price. Traceability of changes to the database, ability to define test plans, match them to requirements sets and automatically generate trace matrices are all very helpful. The only area where the inflectra implementation falls apart is dealing with images, such as screen captures necessary for documenting test results. Review Source Response from Inflectra September 13, 2015 We appreciate the limitations in reporting in terms of including images of certain test results and we are working on improving them in future releases. AK Alex K. Software QA Manager Used the software for: ### "Excellent customer support." August 20, 2008 4.0 Still early, but based on my experience with this tool and with Test Director, I believe that this tool would be the way to go. Especially from an ROI perspective. For a QA Test Management solution, it seems like it will be excellent. Pros Excellent customer support. If you have a question, they answer it quickly and with complete straight forward answers. Excellent cost. This makes it accessible to every company with QA and Test Management needs. Pretty straight forward. Cons None encountered yet. Review Source LC Liga C. Senior EDA Engineer Consumer Electronics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to integrate with our workflow" July 23, 2020 5.0 It's very easy to use. I also like SpiraTest API so I can implement some custom features with my other tools. Pros SpiraTest provides many solutions to integrate with other tools (e.g. Jira) so it's easy to integrate with our current workflow. Cons There is no way to customize the "Execute" under tools. For the Automated test sets, I hope to pop up the message to notify users the schedule of the automated testing for those test sets. Review Source AL Anna Lucovsky Used the software for: ### "Great test and requirement management tool" March 5, 2014 5.0 Our company uses SpiraTest for over 5 years already and it helps us to keep our tests in order and track status and progress of the QA tasks Pros Wide range of functionality, comparable with industry leaders in this field (e.g. HP QC) Simple and reliable installation and configuration Good value for money Excellent support Many integration capabilities with other tools Cons There are few UI issues here and there Reports are OK, but could still be improved Review Source AF Amanda F. QA Team Lead Used the software for: ### "The product is quick and easy to use right out of the box. " June 10, 2009 4.0 The product is quick and easy to use right out of the box. It is a great answer to our QA Management needs, especially for a smaller company like ours. Pros The support team has been excellent. I really appreciate their prompt, courteous responses! Very affordable. Cons My only compaint is the lack of integration with Axosoft Ontime. Although it is my understanding that is coming very soon. Review Source Response from Inflectra March 23, 2010 We have released integration with AxoSoft OnTime since this review was written. DW Demelza W.
