Requirements and Test Management in one place

Beoordeeld op 2/12/2016

The primary goal of the software we were looking for was the management of requirements and testing...

The primary goal of the software we were looking for was the management of requirements and testing along with a built-in traceability matrix and reports. SpiraTeam included these at a reasonable cost. We purchased the 4.2 version and have not upgraded to the latest.

We like the feature that not only maps the requirement to test case(s) but also indicates how many of the associated test cases have passed/failed. The filtering on tables for Requirements, Test Cases and Incidents is very helpful. Also like the folder and subfolder concepts to easily group system features. We have not used the Test Sets feature.

We've been able to generate requirements and test reports and make some modifications. I am not a developer so this was a bit challenging and was not able to figure out how to create a report for bugs not linked to test cases. SpiraTeam does have a report showing Test Cases with associated incidents of which I was able to expand to get additional incident information other than just the ID. They have a handful of other reports as well.

We used several administrative features. Adding new users and projects is fairly easy and straight forward. We configured the Incident work steps (workflow) to meet our business workflow (e.g., added Works as Designed and Close (by Design)), added some custom fields and adjusted field properties (e.g., hide, require) per the workstep. We used the email notifications feature as well. We also synchronized with Jira but abandoned this. We could not get the components to map but mostly because after trying it, we found it much easier to manage defects in one system for our internal processes. Once a bug is synchronized and written to Jira, you can only update it from Jira, not SpiraTeam.

It would be nice to have a feature that lets you know when a test case should be retested because the associated bugs are fixed.

Customer Service is responsive and professional. Sometimes I found answers to my questions on their Knowledge Base.

Overall good experience. Really helps to see that requirements are covered by test cases and gives the ability to manage test case (pass/fail) in one place without having to use spreadsheets!

Spira is a very good QA tool. It is very easy to use and very nice documents to follow. Very affordable price. Very good customer service. I am very happy using this tool and pleased with the customer service quick responses. However, here are some of the improvements and enhancement suggestions.

1. Is this compatible to use in all the browsers. Currently, if I am using chrome, when I try to edit the test case there is no way of saving. Save button is disabled. Update button is not displaying on the edited step.

Today I started using IE to see if it will work better. Any ideas on that which browser it works well or is it properly tested to use in all browsers?

2. If working on a test script or projects using Spira, user accidently deletes the test case, is there a way that we can restore the data? Any history to bring back the deleted test case? If this is not there now, I request to add as a future enhancement to benefit.

3. Why do we need in Test cases also Execute button and in Test Sets also Execute button? It is very confusing. Usually it should be in Test Sets.

4. Axosoft and Spira test documents can be clearer to understand from a QA tester perspective.

5. I am still learning and trying to experiment the full features.

Thanks.

Antwoord van Inflectra

Hi Sudha

Thanks for the positive feedback. I think you have some questions as well as the review. For questions 1-5 I would submit a help desk ticket to us (if you have not already).

In answer to the questions for anyone reading:
1) Spira works with all versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera as well as IE8 or later.
2) If you delete a test case, simply go to Administration > Project History Changes and you can revert the delete.
3) You can execute a test case or a test set because sometimes smaller teams don't want to use the test set functionality and just assign test cases directly. For larger teams, test sets are optimal.
4) Thanks for the feedback, the integration with AxoSoft OnTime is an integration feature and is definitely more technical than the rest of the system.

SpiraTeam has been a great tool for meeting our Software Quality Testing goals. We use Planning to track our business requirements and trace them to our test cases. We use the Testing section to capture all our test cases and record our test runs. We have started to use the Rapise Test Automation Tool to integrate with SpiraTeam and run our test automation scripts. We use Tracking to document all our test failures and track incidents for our projects. The Dashboard and Reporting sections have been valuable in communicating test progress and results to our project teams. We have been very pleased with the tools use and performance.

Pluspunten

All the functionality needed for our Software Quality Testing goals at a great price.

Minpunten

Reporting could be easier to manage and sorting columns by "not" would be valuable - ex. Status = "not" Accepted for Requirements.

We are using Spirateam / Spiratest for test case management and for managing our testing workforce. Also we are using it to track test case execution.
-> This is where I can recommend the tool to others

Whatever question we had was answered by Inflectra customer service in a timely and competent way. As a software company ourselves I was very much impressed.
-> This is a major reason to go and invest into Inflectra software. The money spent is worth every cent.

We cannot use the integrated ticketing tool and unfortunately were not able to integrate with our Jira ticketing solution the way we planned. The promoted Jira interface was a major reason to select Spiratest and we were very disappointed that it does not really work. However this feature is promised for a later release 2009.
-> We are hoping that Jira integration will be improved and integrated into the admin interface by the Spira development team as promised end of 2008.

Pluspunten

- world class customer service
- product is still improved and enhanced
- cost/feature ratio is ok
- helps us to improve software development process
- we are using the Excel importer often also to create new testcases. This is really fast.
- direct access to the MSSQL databaes allows custom report generation

Minpunten

- Jira integration is not really working
- Jira integration is only done with cryptic configuration files and not using the web-admin interface.
- doesn't work well with Firefox browsers
- doesn't work under Linux
- test case creation using the web-gui is kind of time consuming
- reporting could be more configurable directly in Spiratest

Highly recommended.
Cannot be beaten for functionality and support at the price point. And I've looked at many, with over 10 years experience with the big boys !!! Throw away those Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. At this price you can afford this top class software. You'll wonder why you made do with anything less!! And there is a free 30 day trial. That's how we got hooked.

Pluspunten

Functionality, Price and Support. What more do you need in a Test Management Tool? And it has integration with other tools and test automation.
SpiraTeam was trialled over three major projects and was enthusiastically accepted by both the IT group and the Business Areas doing UAT with absolutely minimal training. SpiraTeam provides a high level of functionality at an extremely affordable price point. I was extremely pleased with the responsiveness of Inflectra to every issue and suggestion I raised.
When you're sitting in a meeting with SpiraTeam users discussing incident reports from one of the trial projects, and the Director turns to you and says..."give me the quote...we need SpiraTeam" you know the product is doing the job for both test process improvement and management reporting. A winner for all !!

Minpunten

Oracle support (but it is on the way).
Greater email support ( such as broadcast notification to all SpiraTeam users)- but that is on the way too.

I believe the fact that I bringing with me the SpiraTeam to the third company I am working for, speaks for itself. In my current company, I was able to replace Jenkins and TestRail with the SpiraTeam. Eliminating an extra tool is always great news for the companies, thank you SpiraTeam!

Pluspunten

Great variety of plugins

Limitations for some integrations, Jenkins will be a good example for that.

SpiraTeam from Inflectra was inexpensive enough for us to use when our QA efforts were first launching as well as feature rich enough now that we have dozens of testers, analysts, and developers involved. We plan to bring on a test automation tool next year (QuickTest Pro, SmarteScript, or TestComplete) and SpiraTeam came with the hooks built in. In fact, SpiraTeam has a number of extra features built in that may make it even more useful to us over time; such as Project & Requirements Management. Their sales and support team have been invaluable in helping us understand how to use their software and even how to best test our software as well. They are flexible and very fast to respond (even after we bought) Their pricing model makes sense for the initial purchase and the annual maintenance. Simply put, Im sold. Its too tough to justify a competing product, no matter how popular, at tens of thousands of dollars more.

Pluspunten

SpiraTeam is an incredible value. Its feature set rivals competitors that are literally 10 times the cost. It has provided all the test case management that we need & the sales/support team has been immediately responsive to every question we've had.

Minpunten

The only challenge we've had with SpiraTeam is the "team" part. It isn't quite as graceful as we'd like for using a team of testers to execute tests. They came up with a solution so it's not a show stopper but I hope it improves with the next release.

SpiraTeam is used to manage the test cases of five different development languages and more than fifteen different base products. The overview of all products is elementary and is very well solved in SpiraTeam.
The selection of connectable test software is very good.

Pluspunten

SpiraTeam is clear and intuitive to use.
The cockpits are a good starting point for daily work.

Minpunten

The structure of the requirements is not transferred from DevOps and after grouping the original types are lost.

Antwoord van Inflectra

We are looking to add a way to keep the requirement types from ADO once the requirements are nested and grouped in the SpiraTeam hierarchy.

Strongly recommend it, it provides much more functionality than expected, and the support team is awesome!

Pluspunten

- Allows to manage the entire life cycle of software, from requirements to test cases and bugs
- The price is much inferior than other similar products (HP Quality center)
- Allows to manage release numbers, schedule and assign tasks
- Support team really nice and reactive
- Many update patchs, product is constantly evolving
- Possibility of defining custom workflows for incidents

Minpunten

- A bit slow sometimes, maybe because we have installed it on our company server
- The associations between requirements, test cases, incidents, and code version could be easier to use
- Some difficulties to attach big files

Would highly recommend. We reviewed several tracking tools for agile development, and this was definitely one of the top contenders. Nice work!

Pluspunten

Excellent tool. Really liked the ability to trace a requirement all the way through the process, linking it to test cases.

Minpunten

The one negative for us was the lack of a sortable backlog for scrum. I was not able to find a way to rank items in a list to create the order for the backlog. Are there any plans for this in an upcoming release?

Antwoord van Inflectra

You can prioritize the items in the backlog by assigning them a priority value (1-4) however in addition in a future release we shall be adding the ability to drag and drop prioritize them.

I would absolutely recommend the product to others who are looking for a easy to use, feature-rich, well-supported, and low-cost solution.

[Note: I can act as a referral on my own accord, but cannot endorse any product on behalf of SAIC.]

Pluspunten

- Easy to install and use. Out of the box, the package just works, no hassles.

- Documentation is *extremely* well done, in all areas: Comprehensiveness, organization, layout, technical content, language and grammar, clarity.

- Technical support is incredibly responsive and helpful; extremely knowledgable; and goes above and beyond what is required.

Minpunten

I would definitely recommend this product to companies for test case writing and execution. The product is easy to use. The testing progression can be viewed quickly for management of the timeline. We do not use the product for the business requirements though.

Pluspunten

Able to use test spreadsheet to write test cases and it is very simple to import into product. Test case execution is user friendly. Discrepancies can be tied to the test case. Discrepancies can be distributed amongst team members with ease for development and re-testing.

Minpunten

Large quantity of test cases in the import spreadsheet can cause it to lock up.

Our company researched over 2 dozen tools while looking for a Req Mgmt/Test Mgmt solution. We are very pleased with our decision to use SpiraTeam. Several projects have adopted its use in the first few months of deployment, and all the internal reviews are positive. A common remark I hear is "The more I use SpiraTeam, the more I like it". As a result of our satisfaction with this tool we have also purchased Rapise for automated testing.

We began using SpiraTeam about 6 months ago and and have been very happy with the tool. Overall, the tool is very easy to use and easy to learn. The customer service is excellent and unlike any other tool I have worked with in the past. We typically hear back on all help desk tickets within a few hours. There are a few performance issues with certain modules like requirements or test cases though. Importing tests is also quite cumbersome.
