Inflectra SpiraTest Reviews

The fact that you are able to structure and keep track of the complete test process has been the main goal.

Test approach can be set up with the use of multiple test teams who (thanks to SpiraTest) are able to work in collaboration with each other (follow-up of testing, division of tasks and effort, high level of traceability).

• Not much room for tweaking of menus.
• It's not open for use of add-ins/automation, or at least instability the moment a version differs.
• Slow response of server, possibly because of the cloud performance.

I've used it for two years.

The integration with Atlassian JIRA was forseen and configured, but the moment a new build of SpiraTest arrived, the add-in used for this integration became non-working, so there's no more integration with JIRA.

It's decent, but I'm not ecstatic about it.

It was very straighforward, because of the web-based implementation, so there's no need for a lot of hardware installation/configuration.

We used an in-house configuration manager. You should always evaluate the compatibility with your existing environment/tools.

Before there was nothing, so implementing this was a big step towards a structured test process, so it's priceless.

Considering the cost and complexity of a test management tool like HP Quality Center, SpiraTest provided an acceptable alternative solution, but there are also more alternatives available at this moment.

Don’t be afraid to pay for component you urgently need, but also: don’t hesitate to refuse to pay for aspects you consider to be obsolete).

SpiraTest is a damn fine test management tool, but it seems that they run the risk of missing the ‘innovation train’ if Inflectra doesn’t act fast…
