Attribute Ratings
Reviews
(1-8 of 8)SpiraTest - very good/solid product
- Easily link and associate artifacts
- Webforms/web UI is intuitive
- Lots of flexibility with filtering and sorting
- Search function (across all products) is very useful
- Custom report generation needs to be easier. It has a steep learning curve.
- It should be easier to copy and paste items in artifacts - particularly collections of test steps.
- It is difficult (impossible?) to share artifacts among different SpiraPlan 'products'
- SpiraPlan does not have a workflow structure that allows for multiple approvers of artifacts. This feature should be added.
SpiraTest - Can be better!
- It is easy to manage requirements.
- Users and roles are easily managed.
- Cloning is really helpful to stack all the similar test cases.
- Dashboard can be made a little easier to read.
- Reporting is also not that great.
- Includes a little learning curve.
SpiraTest
- Easily manages testing requirements.
- Easily manage users and roles.
- Great out of the box reporting for test cases and bugs.
- Training can be difficult to find at times.
- Basic reporting can become very verbose unless you set lots of filters and parameters.
- The ability to customize some of the verbiage in the application would help bridge the gap between translating what SpiraTest's testing terminology is and the company culture uses for testing terminology.
SpiraTest - fail
- A clean view of test case steps, expected results and the ability to record a result for each step quickly on one page per test set. This really helps testers work through executing manual test cases.
- Hierarchical structure of releases and builds, requirements, and test cases.
- Can quickly build test sets and/or test runs per build/release.
- Simple identification of each test case, requirement, test run, build, release, etc.
- While there are some nice, live reports, test results per build/release is an obvious omission. The canned reports that can be configured are mostly text based. Some graphs included in those would be a nice addition.
- Recording a Fail for a test step does not facilitate recording a defect. Defects must be manually reported separately. It would be nice if some standard fields were offered when a failure was recorded (e.g. summary, actual result, expected result, description) were recorded with system-known data such as the test steps (steps to reproduce), release, tester's name, etc. and turned into a defect to be recorded in Spira, or sent to an integrated 3rd party defect tracker (JIRA, Mantis, TFS, etc.).
- While the import (from Excel) tools are nice and work efficiently (2 way sync of data, hierarchy easy to implement, tests can be linked to requirements before import/export), there are some default fields I would like to have seen included in there so I could import the 1500+ test cases with less post import/export data manipulation required in Spira across the imported data
SpiraTest
- SpiraTest works well in organizing the requirements. The best part is the requirements can be categorized as use case/user story based on the project.
- Defect tracking module of the application can be improved. There are several options for the user while creating a defect and this might be confusing
- User Dashboard page can be improved. Pulling metrics for a project is too complicated.

SpiraTest is the best solution for test management
- Working on requirements as a team.
- Distribution of testing sets among QA team members.
- One lacks convenient ways of reports customization.
- The SpiraTest to JIRA integration leaves much to be desired. We use a cloud version of SpiraTest and Linux machine hosted JIRA version. To configure the integration we need a server on Windows.
Intern's Review of SpiraTest
- Creating test cases that can easily be reused.
- Helping individuals organize test cases.
- Helping teams communicate about test cases when performing QA duties.
- If I remember correctly, there were integrations that could also be performed with SpiraTest - these were helpful!
- Slight learning curve when starting out.
- Minor difficulty integrating into existing software suite.
- A bit complex.
It should be noted that management selected SpiraTest primarily due to the low cost of the test software. I'm less familiar with other test software in the field, but if cost is an issue, you should take a look at SpiraTest.
