We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed.""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 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.""We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."

"One of the most valuable features of SpecFlow for us is its risk identification capabilities.""SpecFlow's best feature is the ability to add additional layers to the programming.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable feature of the solution is unit testing...It is also an easy-to-use and user-friendly product that can easily adapt to any framework."

Cons
"Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive.""The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly.""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 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 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."

More Inflectra SpiraTest Cons →

"I'd prefer in TFS if we could be writing test cases, not in the old classical version. We should be writing in Gherkin and then automatically have it convert that Gherkin test case into SpecFlow feature files.""Regarding improvement, it would be good if SpecFlow could provide chain testing, which it currently doesn't allow.""SpecFlow's installation and configuration can be a bit challenging due to its flexibility as an open-source tool.""SpecFlow would be improved with the addition of functionality reporting, which would be really helpful for automation testing."
