Pros
"We don't use technical support. We have an office in Austria that provides us with solutions. Also, this solution is pretty simple and user-friendly. We don't really need help with it.""You can group test cases together and track the execution of them.""It is a scalable solution.""The program is very stable and scalable."

More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Pros →

"The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed.""We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing.""The reporting functionality helps vendors and technical resources identify bugs and issues that need to be addressed. The simple dashboard-style home page makes training end-user testers simple and straightforward. The actual testing UI is VERY straightforward and very intuitive for the end-users that test the system since very often we pull from business and operational users to help test new systems.""The ability to reuse test cases already used across projects is the most valuable feature of this solution. We don't need to create new ones.""I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it.""The user-friendly features are the most valuable. For example, migration of requirements and migration of test cases and the creation of traceability. You have various reports that you need. The plug-ins that are available to connect with the other tools.""Inflectra SpiraTest has a lot of functionality, which is good."

Cons
"Lacking visual gadgets that go on a dashboard, pie charts, bar charts and histograms.""I don't like that you need to use a lot of tabs. One test case takes 15-20 minutes and on Zephyr is take about 5-10 minutes.""They should work on integrating the solution with AI."

More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Cons →

"The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly.""The folder organization in Inflectra SpiraTest could be better, though I cannot comment whether that is structure-related. Most of what I need would probably be in the tool, but as a test manager, I need to be able to create dashboards and reports easily.""Migrating is not very easy. It depends on the organization, how efficient and effective the decision-making process is. The plug-ins should be easier and more integrated rather than the user trying to integrate the tools which are more popular, like Jira et al.""Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive.""It should develop integration with JIRA. We have some complexities which caused us not to decide to integrate it with our JIRA, like synchronous data.""The UI for managing test cases, test sets, test runs could be a little more integrated, currently, these feel disjointed at times and confusing. Also, the test steps page needs to display the test steps closer to the top of the UI so as to not have to scroll down to find.""Being able to add scripting for testing can and does save a lot of time. When you are able to just ‘run’ a test case rather than manually add it and run it."
