Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."It is a stable solution."
"CodeBeamer provides full traceability, excellent collaboration, regulatory compliance, and instant reporting with its holistic approach from requirement management to testing."
"One of the most valuable features of Codebeamer is its strong performance."
"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"Usability needs to be improved."
"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks."
"The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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 user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly."
"Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive."
