You don't need to spend a lot of money in a Test Management Tool - Use SpiraTest
Vantagens:
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.
Desvantagens:
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, ...).
SpiraTest compares very well to other well known project management applications.
Comentários:
SpiraTest compares very well to other well known project management applications.
SpiraTest beats Quality Center in the ability to create different workflows for multiple incident types, and workflow customization is based on a simple interface rather than on VBScript. The ability to link project artifacts together seems much easier and intuitive the Quality Center. Best of all, SpiraTest has a tool to communicate with Quality Center if you need to work in both applications.
SpiraTest also compares well with Pragmatic Software Planner. Information is much more accessible in SpiraTest, and everything actually works. Software Planner loses points for having a more rigid workflow, a non-intuitive interface, and for features that just don't work, like custom reports.
Vantagens:
You can't beat SpiraTest without paying a lot more (and even then you might be disappointed). - Surprisingly easy set up. - Fantastic ease of use once you get used to the workflow paradigm (change status, verify newly required fields, then update). - Traceability: We love how all project components can be linked together. - Test case management: Create individual steps for each test case, and link steps from one test case to another to prevent step duplication. Create a test run, and send information to your automated testing software. Software testing heaven. - Workflow management: custom workflows by project or even by incident type. Cusomtization is implemented by interface, not language. - Support: Inflectra support has been fantastic in helping us migrate data into SpiraTest from our previous system. - Meets our needs: Our consulting firm needed a one-stop app that would work for multiple long- and short-term projects. We found SpiraTest, we tried it, and we love it.
Desvantagens:
Enhancements to current features, rather than new features, seems to be the rule: - ability to create and administer user groups on a project level instead of only at the application level. - mass updating of multiple artifacts (change all incidents with this type to that type) - update workflow transitions by user type instead of altering each transition. - Workflow takes a little getting used to; transitions must be performed in the following order - 1. Select the desired status, 2. Fill out ALL the newly required fields (check all the tabs), and then 3. Update. - Custom fields are hidden on their own tab in the lower half of the main pane. It would be nice to have the option to place some custom fields on the main pane. - Would be nice to be able to hide fields that aren't desired for a certain project. - Would like the ability to assign certain SysAdmin rights on a project level. - Would like a few more report cusomization options.
Spira Test Version v2.1 has many functionalities of a Robust Testing Tool.
Comentários: 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
Vantagens:
- 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.
Desvantagens:
- 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.
Way better than Excel, Testuff, and other lower price point Test Management tools.
Comentários:
Test data management without the risk of irreversible or unaudited changes.
A cloud accessible test management tool for my test team
Vantagens:
The ability to group test cases, the folder hierarchy, test sets and test runs per release. So glad the all tests with tests steps view was added (Table view) Customisable reports are very useful once configured/scripted correctly (although the interface/mechanism is too complex for non-developers/non-technical people. It is far from intuitive)
Desvantagens:
Data imported to the Excel template via the Excel add-on should arrive in a format that could be immediately exported back to Spira. This would facilitate faster creation of duplicates with minor amendments, such as copying large tests sets to be rerun in a new release. Reporting. It's difficult to find the report you want without having to run one to see the story it tells. A snapshot of the report with generic data would be handy. Failing/blocking a test should start creating the incident. These should be seamless. Select existing incident should be an option there also. There should be a way to clear results from a step, not just select a different result. There needs to be a X by Y grid matrix of requirements to tests in Reports The Export to Excel option should work for multiple selections The data structure should be made available within the Reporting UI to facilitate customised report writing. A drag and drop UI would be a big improvement, as would a sample view to see the impact of your changes with dummy data without having to run the report The name of the current test should remain on screen while the steps for it are visible. As the last step scrolls off the screen the next test name can then appear.
Overall it's good an makes test management and running a lot smoother
Vantagens:
The history features of test cases are nice. The ability to link requirements to test steps is nice (allthough could be improved as it is lost on clone). The tracking of progress is nice and ability to create incidents from a specific test steps helps a lot. All the different types of reports that are available to generate are also quite nice.
Desvantagens:
The lack of branching/versioning of test cases. This is a big con for us and we're hoping that it will be looked at in the future. Another problem is the linking of requirements to test steps, it feels like it's lacking a bit; it should be possible to 1. Clone a test case and keep the requirements on the test steps (currently they're lost) 2. If a requirement is just linked to a test step the result should be possible to link to that, currently if a step not at all related to the requirement fails the requirement will also fail. Also we'd like a report where it's easy to see the traceability and result of test run and requirement, e.g.: REQ1 PASSED REQ2 FAILED Currently it is possible to get the requirement and what Test case it is tested in and then print out all of the test cases to see the results. We'd just like a bit of an easier report/tracking here. If possible it would also be nice to add a comment to FAILED, maybe what test case failed (if it is tested in more than one) and perhaps even incident numbers of some sort.

Thanks for the positive feedback on SpiraTest, including the ability to link requirements to test steps (most tools limit the link to just test cases). We do plan on adding requirements/test case baselining functionality, we already support test case and requirements versioning and history tracking. The linking of requirements to test steps and the corresponding reporting was added recently and we shall be enhancing its reporting and tracking in future releases. You can report a reason when a test case / test step fails (in fact you have to), and we already include built-in defect creation and linking during the test execution process, so we're not sure what the reviewer meant by that part.
Spira Test Review
Comentários:
Pro:
- covers Requirements as well as Test Cases
- compatibility with automatic testing tools
- possibility to create Test Sets
- execute Test Sets separately from the Test Cases they contain
Con:
- "keep me logged in" doesn't work (sometimes changes are lost)
- sometimes the lists aren't displayed correctly (then after selecting "Show Level 1" it works again, but it's annoying)
- mixed language (German and English - wouldn't care if it is only English .. maybe depending on the language of the browser?)
- the tree list view to the left when editing one Requirement or Test Case is often not displayed correctly which makes it difficult to navigate
- moving of list items sometimes doesn't work
- "Administration" link is only displayed if a project is opened for which someone is Project Owner, even if he is an overall administrator
- if text is copied from a Test Step and the whole text field was selected, a grey background is pasted
Nice to have:
- Maybe it isn't possible - but it would be nice to have the possibility to link a Test Case to an automatic testing tool for each Test Set which contains this Test Case. Because we are testing automatically with Smart Bear's TestComplete and we also use the possibility to have one Test Case in several Test Sets, if they are the same. Due to some slight differences we can't use the same recorded test (in TestComplete) for all of the Test Sets.
- It would be nice to have a choice if an item is pasted before or after the checked item in the list.
- We would like to have the possibility to link a Test Case folder with a superior Requirement. If then a Test Case is created from a Requirement, the new Test Case should be in the linked folder. It is annoying to search for a new Requirement at the end of the list and moving it up into the corresponding folder. Or maybe you can provide a choice into which folder the new Test Case should be created.
Overall:
We are happy to have a tool which provides the possibility to manage Requirements, Test Cases and Test Sets. Also the feature to test automatically is great! But we were a little bit disappointed that the last update just brought some changes regarding design. The buggy functionalities influencing the usability were not fixed (e.g. displaying the list). Or maybe we recognized only the design changes. Overall, we put trust into the Inflectra team that those annoying usability issues will be fixed.
Nice Product. Easy to use ,everything can be tracked in one application..that's awesome.
Comentários: Its simple and reliable use as compare to industry leaders in this field. Good value for money and excellent support. Also its capabilities to integrate with other tools.
Vantagens:
1-I love the feature to track the bugs. Its so simpler and the enhanced feature of embedding screenshot makes my job lot easier. 2-The reporting section is also good and the available formats to extract reports make my team as well as dev team more comfortable to understand the generated reports. 3-Enabling us to manage the requirement also plays an important role in putting this ahead of some competitors . Its very easy to track requirements either by release or by test cases. 4-last but not the least. Excellent customer Service.
Desvantagens:
As I do not see any major flaw in this but yes something needs to be updated/enhanced to make it more user friendly: 1-Allow to delete User. Currently it only allows to disable the user. 2-Flexibility to add our own status to Requirements. 3- few UI issues in reporting.
Serves the purpose
Vantagens:
Cloud and in house hosting options available. Customer support is quick and effective. Product is upgraded frequently. Roadmap is clearly communicated. Lots of customization options for reports if you know how to do it.
Desvantagens:
Copy, edit, clone and drag and drop are not that user friendly. Need more integration options like EA.
Good Test Tool plus Excellent Support
Comentários: 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.
Vantagens:
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
Desvantagens:
Have not found any yet
review
Vantagens:
creating and and reusing test case is very simple, thus, Cloud and in house hosting options available, it makes organizing and managing your team easier.
Desvantagens:
Tracking modules can be improved. it would make this software perfect!
A nice little addition to a development team
Comentários: It's nice, obviously could use some improvements but their team is always putting out updates and new content. Overall I think it's worth it to have.
Vantagens:
Integrates well with Jira. Easy to configure for your needs. Nice reporting tools. Good support team.
Desvantagens:
Reports can be really slow sometimes. Reports take a lot of customizing before you get any useful results. The UI is not very user friendly.

Thanks for your review, it is very helpful, I will pass on your feedback to our development team. I know that they are working to improve the reports, we plan to have the improvements released in v6.1 later this year.
Great tool to help organize your testing needs
Comentários: A few years ago we worked with this product on a trial basis. Everyone liked the fact that it helped keep our test cases organized and consistent regardless of who wrote them. We were able to bring the product on full time. When I left the company moved to another one, SPIRA was one of the first software applications that I pushed for to have and I continue to do so.
Spiratest Review
Comentários: 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.

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.
Not for everyone
Comentários: 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.
Vantagens:
Very feature rich
Desvantagens:
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.

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.
Prefect Monitoring Solution for Testing
Vantagens:
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.
Desvantagens:
The lack of branching and versioning of test cases. Need to improve in requirements for test steps. SpiraTest requires too many resources
Spiratests is for us qualified to support our testorganisation and even improve our organisation.
Comentários: 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.
Vantagens:
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.
Desvantagens:
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.
OK - but misses functionality in integration interface
Comentários: neutral as per now.
Vantagens:
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.
Desvantagens:
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.
I would recommend SpiraTest without any reservations to large and small companies.
Comentários: I would recommend SpiraTest without any reservations to large and small companies who want to take testing seriously.
Vantagens:
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.
Desvantagens:
Only works on Microsoft SQL and Windows at the moment.
The product is evolving and getting more useful. A tutorial for testers and for managers will.
Comentários:
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.
Vantagens:
The product has most of the features we need. Quick, effective an friendly support.
Desvantagens:
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
SpiraTest
Comentários: 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.
Low Priced tool, value for money.
Comentários:
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
Vantagens:
Good and simple UI, Rich features
Desvantagens:
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
Very good. I can recommend to my friends.
Comentários: Very good. I can recommend to my friends.
Vantagens:
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.
Desvantagens:
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.
Inflectra SpiraTest
Comentários: 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
The product is quick and easy to use right out of the box.
Comentários: 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.
Vantagens:
The support team has been excellent. I really appreciate their prompt, courteous responses! Very affordable.
Desvantagens:
My only compaint is the lack of integration with Axosoft Ontime. Although it is my understanding that is coming very soon.

Spira Test for Test Management
Comentários: Spira Test is effective in Test Management. You can easily manage your test cases for any product with this tool.
Vantagens:
Easy to use Trace ability of requirements to test Test case run and reporting Bug reporting and management
Desvantagens:
Limited features for defect management Too many formatting possibilities for text inputs
