AgileTest by DevSamurai vs. SpiraTest

I think SpiraTest is well suited as a test suite, but in situations where the team is already using multiple products from one particular provider, it may be better to go with that provider's test solution. This is because integrations are very important nowadays, and should be considered when picking your project management software. It should be noted that management selected SpiraTest primarily due to the low cost of the test software. I'm less familiar with other test software in the field, but if cost is an issue, you should take a look at SpiraTest.

• It is easy to manage requirements.
• Users and roles are easily managed.
• Cloning is really helpful to stack all the similar test cases.

• Training can be difficult to find at times.
• Basic reporting can become very verbose unless you set lots of filters and parameters.
• The ability to customize some of the verbiage in the application would help bridge the gap between translating what SpiraTest's testing terminology is and the company culture uses for testing terminology.

As promised during product selection, SpiraPlan support has always been quick and helpful. Replies almost always come back in hours (and often in an hour or two). And SpiraPlan's online tech support maintains all support conversations online so no need to look through emails to try to recall repllies.

I migrated out of another test management tool mid project to Spira. The Spira import tools made this relatively easy.

• Most of SpiraPlan is easy and intuitive to use so employees have been quickly productive
• Artifact linking saves tracking time and is very easy for anyone to do
• custom test creation will still take a LOT of time
