We performed a comparison between Inflectra SpiraTest and TestRail 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 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."
"I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it."
"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."
"We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."
"Inflectra SpiraTest has a lot of functionality, which is good."
"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 features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the dashboard."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."
"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly."
"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."
"Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."
"Better prediction of text."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."
