We performed a comparison between Inflectra SpiraTest and Microsoft Azure DevOps based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, IDERA, Microsoft and others in Test Management Tools."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."
"We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and performance."
"It is good for monitoring purposes. We are using the build pipelines of Microsoft Azure. They are also valuable."
"It is easy to use. The shared repository is useful. Everything is in one environment."
"The installation is very straightforward."
"Typically the sprints themselves and managing the tasks have essentially eliminated our need for reporting."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"Before using this solution, we had to deploy our applications, from pre-production to production, manually."
"The most valuable feature is that it brings order to our projects, and we know the status of each one at every moment."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When you compare with Jira, there is a lack of progress features."
"Azure has not yet advanced to the performance level of the other major competitors and is missing integration with important technologies."
"It is not that intuitive. Sometimes, it is hard to find some of the functions. I would like to have an old-fashioned menu structure to be able to easily find things. Its environment setup is not very good. They should improve the way it is set up for different screens and make it easier to find functionalities and maintain team members."
"Definitely, there should be more integration between GitHub and Azure DevOps."
"If they could build up requirement traceability metrics, then it would be great."
"The main issue that I have is the connection speed. Sometimes, the response is too slow. I am based in Taiwan, and I am not sure if it is because of broadband or something else. Its initial configuration is also a little bit difficult."
"We would like some bidirectional synchronization. It's the requirement if you want to analyze it to software requirements, et cetera. That's something that most of the tools aren't that good at."
"Better integration with the Linux operating system would be an improvement for this solution."
