Zephyr Enterprise vs. SpiraTest

1. Well suited for companies having several applications which need rigorous continuous testing cycles due to periodic upgrades to products/features.
2. Ideally suited for use cases where there is a need to run sanity and regression suites very frequently.
3. It is very helpful to have a traceability matrix across Stories/tasks and easy to link all the test cases to be covered to stories.
4. Variety of reports for Quality Dashboard.

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.

• Creation of Folders, Sub Folder and Releases for various Teams/Projects
• Ability to create cycles and adding cases to these
• Ability to copy/clone entire test cycles for regression/sanity needs
• Linking of defects to Test Cases

Incentivized

• A clean view of test case steps, expected results and the ability to record a result for each step quickly on one page per test set. This really helps testers work through executing manual test cases.
• Hierarchical structure of releases and builds, requirements, and test cases.
• Can quickly build test sets and/or test runs per build/release.
• Simple identification of each test case, requirement, test run, build, release, etc.

• Better Test case Upload Utility
• Ability to quickly map test cases from excel to JIRA fields

Incentivized

• 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.
