Featured Reviews

Jason Lopez - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive enough and easy to learn, but in terms of folder organization, it could be better
Inflectra SpiraTest is the new kid on the block compared to Jira and Azure. Still, when I started exploring the tool, I realized that it was no different from other tools I've used in the past, but it all boils down to adaptability because the features would always be more or less the same. I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it.

AI features and automation save time and enhance test quality
Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually. It can integrate with different applications and is user-friendly. One notable AI feature is the self-healing capability, which automatically corrects failed scripts, solving problems in less than five minutes and improving the quality of code.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Inflectra SpiraTest has a lot of functionality, which is good."
"I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it."
"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."
"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."
"We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."
"The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed."
"It's more user-friendly as a solution."
"I noticed that only the enterprise version has integration with GitHub."
"Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually."
 

Cons

"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 user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."
"The free version is limited."
"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was excellent. I would recommend the enterprise solution."
"I Googled the pricing for Inflectra SpiraTest, and it's about $4,000 annually."
