We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Inflectra SpiraTest based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"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."
"The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed."
"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."
"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."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"It has low productivity."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"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."
"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 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."
"The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly."
"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."
"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."
