SpiraPlan Reviews
Pros
A much improved interface UI for testing and positively best option for requirements management in a testing tool.
The support team at Inflectra is also top notch. Any time I had a question/issue, they were there to help in a quick and friendly manner.
I have used several other software products over the years so have used both good and not so good ones, and I would thoroughly recommend SpiraPlan.
It is a very stable and reliable piece of software. I find it great for managing tasks for staff working remote from the office.
Cons
The report generated is not as extensive is it should, some details are not readily included and no customization to the report seem can be done.
Support for reviews is a bit rudimentary - this is, IMO, the weakest part of the tool.
It's a minor inconvenience: response time when first logging-in to the system is somewhat slow.
When lots of test cases are created the app gets sloppy and confused.
"Team project planning with SpiraPlan"
Overall: Collaborating project with our technical department is smoother with SpiraPlan. Both department has fully understand this software capabilities which make us know where the limit and can properly planning for project without problem and miscommunication.
Pros: Every feature and tools that are much needed to planning a project either for small project and larger project is available to be use within this software. Selection for type of service and tools that can be integrated is quite huge and cover all the tools that we use. Planning board can be drag, drop and duplicate across the project list.
Cons: The report generated is not as extensive is it should, some details are not readily included and no customization to the report seem can be done. Manual testing is slow to load all the resource and i had to restart the whole process again to properly load all the related resource. Other than that, everything is working as it supposed.
"Use of SPIRA"
Overall: I´m tracking our development processes for a waterfall/V-Modell process
Pros: Easy to administrate. Ready to go after installation. Web access. Easy to handle.
Cons: Editable workflows not for all items. Baselining comes this year.
"We've used SpiraTeam in my company for over 5 years and it is great tool for Test Management."
Pros: I'd like to have versioning for requirements and others, Faster UI and Navigation. Dashboards with all the needed reports and graphs
Cons: When lots of test cases are created the app gets sloppy and confused Missing dashboards and better reports
"Our R&D - managed, at last!"
Overall: We used a maintenance release for one of our medical devices as a trial. Spira allowed very easy control of Requirements and Test artifacts and especially traceability and traceability reporting, which is vital for e.g. the FDA submissions.
Pros: * Easy to set up (meaning the project templates, users, customizable fields, etc.) * Very good integration possibilities with other tools * Attractive GUI * Great customization possibilities for reports * REST API available and well documented
Cons: * Support for reviews is a bit rudimentary - this is, IMO, the weakest part of the tool. We'd prefer to have the possibility to submit sets of artifacts for review, defined review groups, and allow adding Approvals and Discussion threads (similar to e.g. Gitlab)
"Good tool for requirement and test case management"
Pros: It is clear how the tool is set up and how to work with it
Cons: The usability can get some improvements
