Intuitive enough and easy to learn, but in terms of folder organization, it could be better
The use case for Inflectra SpiraTest is to report on defects. It's also useful for writing test cases Inflectra SpiraTest is the new kid on the block compared to Jira and Azure. Still, when I started exploring the tool, I realized that it was no different from other tools I've used in the past,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."
"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."
"I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it."
"Inflectra SpiraTest has a lot of functionality, which is good."
"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."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."
"The integration with Jira and the ability for extra configurations are the most valuable features."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."
 

Cons

"Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."
"The reports should be more user-friendly."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was excellent. I would recommend the enterprise solution."
"I Googled the pricing for Inflectra SpiraTest, and it's about $4,000 annually."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"The product is not much expensive."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
