Search is temporarily unavailable. Filters are still applied.
We use SpiraPlan (which includes the SpiraTest function) to manage requirements, test cases, incidents, and releases for our medical device products. We use it for all current products, both hardware, and software. We migrated to the SpiraPlan platform from Jazz and at this point, it allows us to accomplish all that Jazz allowed us to do.
Pros
Easily link and associate artifacts
Webforms/web UI is intuitive
Lots of flexibility with filtering and sorting
Search function (across all products) is very useful
Cons
Custom report generation needs to be easier. It has a steep learning curve.
It should be easier to copy and paste items in artifacts - particularly collections of test steps.
It is difficult (impossible?) to share artifacts among different SpiraPlan 'products'
SpiraPlan does not have a workflow structure that allows for multiple approvers of artifacts. This feature should be added.
Likelihood to Recommend
Two big uses for us are 1) managing requirements and verifying requirements with test cases; and 2) Software source control via TaraVault and Git. For item 1 (requirements/test case management)... I cannot imagine any scenario where it would not be suitable for this need. I do wish custom report generation was easier though. SpiraPlan has a great artifact linking ability - generating custom reports showing this linking is much harder than (I think) it should be. For item 2 (software source control)... We do not have many software products
