Quotes From Members Comparing IBM Rational Quality Manager vs. Inflectra SpiraTest
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:Pros | |
Reusability and integration capabilities which make it a great choice for organizations that use a variety of development tools and platforms. Latest features include versioning of testings which can be great when used for multiple releases of a product. It allows user to add whichever widget (predefined) based on the need. It has integration with CCM and RM to achieve traceability. | We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing. The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed. |
Cons | |
Mainly Quality Assurance and DevOps, but of course the whole company and management areas with more knowledge of quality and client success approach. Integration capabilities with other vendors' tools should improve. Organizing the test cases is tedious. There is no mechanism to keep and maintain the test cases as hierarchy. This should be seriously addressed. | 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. Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Each license includes 12 months of customer support. A free 90-day trial of the software is also available. The licenses of these tools (the whole CLM package) is very costly as compared to other vendors' tools. | The pricing was excellent. I would recommend the enterprise solution. |
