SpiraTeam

SpiraTeam gives visibility to the work getting done!

My company purchase this and said "here, figure out how to use this for your project". It took be a couple of hours to put all the pieces together. It is rather intuitive and user friendly. I was able to guide the team into how we intend to use the tool to develop our software product. It was easy to get the team engaged in using SpiraTeam.

#1 Product for Testing, Requirements Traceability and Defect Tracking

Our team brought SpiraTeam on-prem 7 years ago from a SaaS product. We are able to save files that may contain server or employee sensitive information. Product is used globally from business users to full development teams. No complaints with the exception of offering a broader offering of reports. Fantastic customer service - the [sensitive content hidden] himself has joined discussions to ensure we are pleased with the product and is open to any recommendations.

A complete vision of the projects

I was used SpiraTeam in some projects. Our work with the application was right, but our experience with it, is like a fixed application with a strongest modulation of the project process. The UI, is not very friendly with a complex form to work on it.
Is true, that you can add any document, requirement, task or other in each moment, but you cannot change the flow of the project. In action it is maddening because you has not clarity of the steps to do with the different parts of the project.
But, if you have a big project with many people that need to interact (for example, you need to follow the status of the tasks and the test cases by developer) it is your project application.

Spira test manager review

Great help for test management, bug management, reporting.

Capitec Bank Feedback

Most excellent, brings our Business and testing together in understanding the req.

Great Tool For The Entire Project Life Cycle

We have been using SpiraTeam within our organization for quite a few years. SpiraTeam is very easy to use, and is a great way to help track, maintain and troubleshoot an entire project, from the planning stages, to implementation, to enhancement requests and software bug and defect resolution. I would recommend SpiraTeam to any organization looking for a straightforward, easy to use tool.

Great affordable Project Lifecycle Management tool!

My team and I have been using SpiraTeam for over a year now. We continue to be impressed by how customizable the product is. The ability to create custom workflows for Requirements and Incidents really allows us to make this product conform to our companies methodology. We aren't forced to follow a rigid methodology (Pure waterfall or Scrum). We can configure the application to follow our specific needs.

I'm a big fan of the application

I'm a big fan of the application.

I manage the testing team for an IS department and was unhappy with the existing tools we had, so I evaluated a number of tools to replace what we used. The outcome put SpiraTest in the top 5.

After using the free trial for a few weeks I was sold.

Best Value Alternative to the Big Bloated Beasts

This is a great suite for managing the application development life cycle. Very competitive in features and functions. This suite is just as good, if not better than IBM's or HP's suites. I've now worked with all three and can easily recommend this for all but the most complex and complicated organizations. I'm using the SaaS version and it works great. Gartner positions this in the niche-players section of its magic quadrant when it should be in the Leaders section, far above and to the right of the others!

User Experience

The functionality are ideal to work with in a typical agile project management environment

SpiraTeam an easy implementation and Great Customer Support

As a QA Manager I've worked with many defect tracking systems and ALM tools including TFS and HP QC\ALM. SpiraTeam is quick to implement and easy to work with. The key is mapping out your hierarchy and workflows for the project or all your projects if you're creating a template. This makes creating future projects a snap. The ease and flexibility of creating a custom Issue workflow was also key to a quick implementation. SpiraTeam has good basic functionality covering the different SDLC artifacts Issues, Requirements, Test Management, Releases, etc... There may be some features higher tiered ALM tools may have, but if they're not must haves for your team then SpiraTeam is the way to go.

I've worked with the Inflectra Support team on easy and very complex issues. They've been very responsive on their communication and followups. They're always a joy to work with.

SpiraTeam Review

I am an engineering contractor performing both SW development and SW qa work. I have convinced my last 3 employers to use Spirateam to help with project management and automation testing.

SPIRA Review

We have been using Spira for a number of years now overall find it very good for our needs.

Pros:
- Easy to track Test Cases and Releases
- Easy to track Test Cases against Requirements
- Reporting is straightforward and easy to follow
- The Support team is always very quick in responding to our queries
- The ability to copy test cases from project to project is a huge benefit to us
- Export and Import add on for Word is a great tool that has been used by a number of our teams

Cons:
- We have had some issues where test cases have been deleted by accident and the roll back functionality did not quite work to revert them - now if this happens I generally revert directly through the database which is not ideal
- Although there is a History tab this does not quite suit us for versioning our test cases - it would be great if there was proper versioning of test cases so you don't have to duplicate them
- sometimes the front end gets a bit confused and we start seeing duplicate folders and test cases which can cause confusion and filter sometimes doesn't work correctly

Overall the product is easy to use once you understand how everything links together.
As with all tools there are some things we would change to make it more useful for ourselves.
But the system has been a huge benefit to us from managing our test cases through the QA lifecycle.

Good web based tool

VERY good for its price !

Good mid range ALM-software for a good price

good software covering a lot of functions for a good price

Spira review

WASTE OF TIME AND WORSE, "MONEY"

I can expect better from a open source project, and that would be free. This is quite literally the most dysfunctional piece of software that I have ever had to deal with.
API is buggy, bulky, and non-intuitive.
Copy then paste is broken
Custom properties are very limited
no reporting tools to search test runs based off of custom properties Vs permutations of properties..
etc.....
etc.

Your better off implementing your own MySQL database with it's own web front end.

I would reccomend this product to anyone who needs to manage a project with test cases.

I would reccomend this product to anyone who needs to manage a project with test cases and requirements.

Excellent product

Overall SpiraTeam is an excellent product, very easy to use and testers love the set up. I have been setting it up onsite for a major client and showing their test team how to use the product. As well as the set up, I am also hooking it up to Rapise to get automated testing in place for a continuous deployment solution.

There have been one or two issues, however, the Inflectra support team are very, very quick to help and resolve any problems, and they also readily implement change suggestions if you come up with something that would be useful.

Note: Make sure you take a full back up before updating to newer versions if running on a local server.

Excellent Value for Money, replacement for QC

It can still improve with additional features such as mutiple copy paste, more stable build for IE 8 users. But an excellent buy for this price. Reliable and well priced tool.

Wondeful Product

Certainly very well suited product for the entire life cycle.

SpiraTeam

Pros:
Great integration story with variety of third party tools.
Strong customization capabilities
Availability of all key components

Cons:
Reports don't have enough graphical representations.
Limited and not very intuitive customization of the reports.
Some painful flows in the integration with very popular tool on the market: Jira.

Can't beat the awesome customer support

i would highly recommend this product as QA/ requirement management tool.

SpiraTeam Review

So far, we would highly recommend the product and the company. It is a great light-weight alternative to HP Quality Center, which we also evaluated.

Excellent support

Have just started using and it seems good thus far. Will have to use it some more before I can actually recommend it.
