Powering Saudi Vision 2030: Inflectra Launches on AWS KSA

2026-01-27T09:54:40-05:00

AWS Regions consist of Availability Zones that place infrastructure in separate and distinct geographic locations. Availability Zones are located far enough from each other to support customers’ business continuity, but near enough to provide low latency for high availability applications that use multiple Availability Zones. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected through redundant, ultra-low-latency networks.

"Providing our software lifecycle management and test automation tools on AWS KSA Region allows our customers an option to connect locally," said Adam Sandman, CEO, Inflectra. "The AWS KSA Region gives us greater choice for running our applications and serving end users from AWS data centers located in Saudi Arabia."

Key Benefits for the Saudi Market

Localized AI via Amazon Bedrock: Leveraging its AWS Generative AI Competency, Inflectra is bringing agentic AI to the Middle East, allowing teams to automate testing using AI that understands local context while keeping data private.
Support for National Strategic Initiatives: Inflectra provides a unified platform for governance and oversight for KSA’s unprecedented scale of projects, ensuring software quality keeps pace with physical construction.
Streamlined Procurement: Saudi organizations can now acquire Inflectra tools via the AWS Marketplace, allowing for simplified procurement through local Saudi Riyal (SAR) billing.

About Inflectra

Inflectra offers a suite of market-leading solutions for software development, testing, and project management. Its flagship products, SpiraPlan and Rapise, help organizations manage the entire software lifecycle with ease, ensuring quality and compliance in even the most complex environments.

Introducing Spira Premium Services: We're Here to Maximize Your SDLC Success!

2026-03-05T09:56:56-05:00

We know that navigating the complexities of the software delivery lifecycle can be challenging. Whether you're struggling with requirements management maturity, facing hurdles integrating Spira with your development toolchain, or simply looking to fine-tune your processes, our experts are ready to provide hands-on support.

Spira Premium Services is our commitment to partnering with you. We want to ensure you don't just use SpiraPlan, but that you use it optimally to achieve higher efficiency, better quality, and faster time-to-market.

Delivering Business Outcomes: Maximize Your SpiraPlan ROI

Our expertise is backed by results that move the needle for the entire organization. Customers leveraging the Inflectra Suite and professional guidance have achieved significant, quantifiable business benefits:

Governance & Compliance: Establish a culture of excellence with consistent, auditable traceability. We ensure stakeholder accountability is baked into your entire lifecycle, providing the transparency required for rigorous regulatory environments.

How We Can Help: Our Core Service Areas

Spira Premium Services is structured to provide flexible, high-impact engagements tailored to your unique organizational needs:

Targeted Optimization

We offer focused engagements to quickly improve core areas of your SpiraPlan implementation, enabling real-time visibility and data-driven decisions:

Requirements organization and Release planning.
Test management structure and execution workflows.
Risk management and related prioritization (critical for mitigating enterprise risk).
Reporting, dashboards, and advanced analytics.

Strategic Advisory & Implementation

Benefit from our expert guidance and hands-on support for foundational success, helping you break free from vendor lock-in and tool sprawl:

SDLC process assessment and architecture reviews.
SpiraPlan configuration best practices and governance.
Design and implementation of custom workflows, fields, and artifacts.
Advanced integrations with your CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and other DevOps tools (we are tools-agnostic by design, with 80+ free integrations).

Migration Support

We ensure a smooth, predictable, and low-risk transition, making leaving legacy systems like Jira, ADO, TestRail, or OpenText safe and easy:

From legacy SDLC and test management systems.
From disconnected spreadsheets or manual workflows.
From older Spira implementations that need modernization and upgrades.

Training & Enablement

We will rapidly upskill your team with personalized, role-based training to drive adoption and proficiency, future-proofing skills by shifting focus from "tester" to Quality, Safety, and Risk Engineer:

In-depth training for Requirements Management.
Test planning and execution best practices.
Agile product management and sprint planning within SpiraPlan.
Advanced reporting and traceability best practices.

Event Plans

An event plan is a pre-agreed support runbook for a specific, time-bound, higher-risk business event where the customer needs elevated coverage and tighter operational controls than normal “business-as-usual” support.

Our event plans typically cover:

Event scope and success criteria: what’s happening (e.g., major release, migration/cutover, data center move, peak season traffic, regulatory filing window) and what “good” looks like.
Roles and contacts (RACI): named customer and vendor stakeholders, escalation owners, and a single “event commander”/primary point of contact on both sides.
Coverage model: days/times, time zones, on-call rotations, bridge lines/war rooms, and whether you have dedicated engineers (and what skills).
Environment and change controls: impacted systems, versions, integrations, maintenance windows, change freeze rules, and approval/rollback procedures.
Risk register and mitigations: top failure modes, dependencies (cloud provider, SSO, database, CI/CD), capacity assumptions, and contingency steps.
Operational procedures: incident triage flow, severity definitions for the event, response-time targets, comms cadence, and how updates are delivered (Slack/Teams, email, status page).
Escalation and decision paths: who can authorize rollbacks, hotfixes, config changes, and who engages third parties.
Observability and readiness checks: pre-event health checks, monitoring dashboards, log access, synthetic tests, performance baselines, and “go/no-go” gates.
Deliverables and post-event review: timeline of checkpoints, issue tracking expectations, final report, and a retrospective with action items.

We are excited to work with you!

Inflectra Honored with the Intellyx Digital Innovator Award for Winter 2025

2025-12-16T11:01:34-05:00

The Executive Mandate: Why This Award Matters to Your Bottom Line

Intellyx bestows this award only upon vendors who successfully navigate a rigorous vetting process and demonstrate disruptive and innovative solutions that achieve measurable customer results. Our selection confirms Inflectra’s place as a strategic partner focused on delivering proven business value:

Accelerated Time-to-Market: Our integrated ALM (SpiraPlan®) and codeless automation (Rapise®) can accelerate project timelines by up to 30%, allowing you to capture market opportunities faster and respond to customer needs with greater agility.
Mitigated Compliance & Risk: SpiraPlan's built-in, auditable traceability links every requirement to its test, defect, and risk assessment. For regulated industries (including Finance, Life Sciences, and Aerospace), this provides the unquestionable assurance needed to pass critical audits and de-risk mission-critical systems.
Cost Optimization & Productivity: By consolidating fragmented tools into one unified platform, you eliminate redundant costs, reduce integration friction, and boost team productivity by upwards of 35%. Our concurrent user licensing also ensures your costs scale fairly with usage, not headcount.
Future-Proofing with AI: Our platform embeds Generative AI into the lifecycle—automating the creation of test cases, requirements, and risk mitigation plans. This shifts your team’s focus from manual production to higher-value oversight, validation, and governance—a key differentiator for the AI-driven future.

Moving Beyond Fragmented Toolchains to Unified Oversight

Many enterprises struggle under the weight of disjointed tools. Development lives in one system, testing in another, and portfolio planning in yet a third. This creates information gaps that directly translate into missed deadlines, scope creep, and unexpected compliance failures.

Inflectra’s recognition as a Digital Innovator highlights our success in offering a single, cohesive platform that provides vertical and horizontal traceability across the entire lifecycle. This gives executives and program managers the single pane of glass required to:

Track large-scale program and portfolio alignment.
Monitor KPIs and metrics in real-time across all projects.
Make data-driven decisions that balance feature delivery against technical debt and risk.

Make an Informed Decision: Engage the Innovator

We are thrilled to be recognized by Intellyx for delivering innovation that impacts your business outcomes. If your organization's digital transformation is being slowed by fractured visibility, excessive risk, or high overhead costs, it's time to speak with a proven Digital Innovator.

Don't let your software lifecycle be the anchor on your business growth. Contact us today or start a free trial of our tools to see the proven ROI firsthand.

Inflectra Launches Rapise 8.6 with Inflectra.ai: Ushering in a New Era of Secure, Embedded Generative AI for Test Automation

2025-10-29T14:37:36-04:00

Rapise 8.6 is engineered to dramatically increase tester efficiency by bringing highly specialized, context-aware AI directly into the automation framework. "The release of Rapise 8.6 and the integration of Inflectra.ai is a transformative moment for quality engineering," said Adam Sandman, CEO of Inflectra. "We've eliminated the friction and security risks associated with external AI providers. Our embedded Agentic AI is not a generic tool—it understands Rapise's APIs and your specific projects, allowing it to generate precise tests and test data securely within the Inflectra ecosystem. This is about delivering unprecedented efficiency and confidence to our users."

The Power of Embedded AI

The core innovation in Rapise 8.6 is the support for Inflectra.ai, which is now available as a native AI provider. This approach offers significant advantages:

Secure and Simple: By operating within the Inflectra ecosystem, the AI workflow is fully managed and secure, eliminating the need for testers to manage separate accounts or external provider keys.
Context-Aware Generation: Inflectra.ai is trained to understand the Rapise framework, its APIs, and specific project object repositories. This specialization enables it to generate exceptionally precise data, specialized test scenarios, and custom code directly within Rapise.
Code Generation Anywhere: Testers can now leverage the AI to generate code while editing JavaScript (.js) files and use an improved AI Command in Rapise Visual Language (RVL).

Powered by Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Nova, this streamlined integration accelerates the entire test creation process, helping teams deliver higher-quality software faster.

Key Enhancements for Streamlined Automation

Rapise 8.6 also includes a range of highly requested productivity and organizational improvements to enhance the day-to-day tester workflow:

Improved Code Organization: New support for a common RVL preamble allows for global definitions of maps and variables, simplifying the management of shared assets. Testers can now use folders/namespaces for Modules/Pages for clearer structuring of large-scale test repositories.
Workflow Efficiency: A significant time-saver is the new Shift + Play shortcut, which instantly re-runs the previously executed RVL selection, speeding up iterative debugging.
Infrastructure and Extensibility: Rapise 8.6 introduces the ability for Rapise to function as an MCP Server, enabling MCP agents to connect directly and opening the door for new distributed testing architectures. Additionally, a new command-line switch generates test results in the industry standard JUnit XML format for seamless integration with modern CI/CD pipelines.

Rapise 8.6 is a demonstration of Inflectra's commitment to delivering world-class, cutting-edge, and secure test automation tools, positioning users to confidently meet the challenges of modern software delivery.

Availability

Rapise 8.6 is available immediately. Current Inflectra customers can download the installer from their customer portal. Detailed release notes are available on the RapiseDocs website.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outage may Affect Some Inflectra.ai Services

2025-10-20T08:33:14-04:00

AWS Outage Details

From the AWS status board this morning:

At Inflectra we have multiple layers of redundancy for our core systems, and our core cloud platform, while hosted by AWS is not affected by the outage.

However we do rely on Amazon DynamoDB for some of the Inflectra.ai functionality, and that may be temporarily unavailable due to the outage.

Update at 12:31:00 UTC

We can now confirm that Inflectra.ai operations in US-East-1 should now be back to normal.

Streamlining Upgrades and Subscription Management - New Self Service Options

2025-07-23T12:35:36-04:00

Updates to the Customer Area

When you login to the customer area and navigate to the My Cloud Subscriptions section, you will now see additional "+ Upgrade" buttons that were not listed before. These let you upgrade either the edition of a core product (e.g. SpiraPlan number of concurrent users) or an individual add-on to that product (e.g. Rapise floating licenses). In cases where the subscription add-on requires license party with the core product (e.g. Inflectra.ai), the Upgrade button is missing. To change the number of licenses of Inflectra.ai (for example), you just meed to adjust the number of concurrent users of Spira itself.

When you click on the + Upgrade button, you are taken to a new screen where you can choose which flavor (SpiraTest, SpiraTeam or SpiraPlan) and edition (number of concurrent users) of the product you want to change to.

The prices listed in the table are the difference in price between your current product/edition and the proposed product/edition. These prices are based on the current remaining length of your subscription.

When you choose a specific product and edition, the customer portal will provide you the option to confirm the upgrade.

Clicking the Upgrade Edition button will then take you to the page where you can enter in your payment information:

Once you have entered in your payment information, click Upgrade Edition, and the change in product/edition will take place immediately.

What If You Cannot Use A Credit Card?

If you are not able (or allowed) to use a credit card, don't worry. Simply reach out to our sales team, and we will be happy to create a formal upgrade price quote for you. That way you can purchase the upgrade using a Purchase Order (PO), AWS Marketplace, or Bank Transfer instead.

Inflectra Earns AWS Generative AI Competency, Accelerating Innovation in Enterprise Software Delivery

2025-05-24T02:02:04-04:00

At the heart of this achievement lies Inflectra’s commitment to intelligent automation. Its flagship platforms, SpiraPlan® and Rapise®, are redefining the way teams build, test and deliver quality software. SpiraPlan, powered by Inflectra.ai and Amazon Bedrock, leverages generative AI to automate requirements management, risk analysis, and test case creation. Rapise, now in its eighth generation, empowers teams to convert natural language into executable test scripts, rejuvenate legacy tests, and resolve errors in real time—all with the power of AI.

“This recognition from AWS reflects our unwavering mission to empower development teams with smarter, faster, and safer tools,” said Adam Sandman, CEO of Inflectra. “By integrating AWS's generative AI capabilities into our platforms, we’re not just keeping up with innovation—we’re setting the pace.”

Why This Matters: A Strategic Leap Forward

Achieving the AWS Generative AI Competency places Inflectra in an elite group of companies recognized by AWS for technical prowess and proven customer success in AI. It signals more than technical achievement—it’s a promise. Inflectra is doubling down on its commitment to Responsible AI that’s explainable, ethical, and secure. Customers can trust that Inflectra’s models aren’t just high-performing—they’re ethically built and securely deployed.

“Our goal is to make AI not only powerful but also explainable, secure, and responsible,” said Simon Bor, CTO at Inflectra. We are committed to supporting our customers with technology that is both advanced and aligned with global best practices.”

Inflectra’s AI innovations were recently spotlighted by AWS in a feature blog post titled AI-Driven DevOps: Quality and Compliance with Inflectra and Amazon Bedrock.

Improvements to the Partner Portal for Co-Sell Referrals

2025-05-20T16:57:58-04:00

Synchronization with Inflectra's CRM System

Our new and improved partner portal includes a major update to the referral and lead tracking system. This system allows our partners (both technology and solution) to easily and quickly register new leads into the partner portal. These leads can be simply registered for visibility - when the partner wants to lead and work on these opportunities by themselves - or registered for co-sell support - where the Inflectra account team will actively assist the partner with product demonstrations, POC assistance and any other needs they have.

When a deal is registered for co-sell assistance, it will automatically synchronize the referral with the Inflectra CRM platform that is used to track all customer contact. The CRM system will automatically assign an Inflectra account manager to the deal based on the geography and industry of the customer.

The synchronization will then automatically update the lead in the partner portal daily with any changes to the status of the deal (if it moves sales stages and/or is considered won or lost) as well as any changes to the assigned account manager.

In addition, the partner portal will send out an automated email to both Inflectra and the partner, keeping everyone aligned on the status of the referral. This way, the partner can know immediately if there is action they need to take.

We’re excited about these enhancements and the value they bring to our shared sales efforts. With this new functionality, we’re not just streamlining collaboration—we’re deepening our commitment to building stronger, more responsive partnerships that drive success for everyone involved.

Please reach out to partnerships@inflectra.com if you have any questions.

Inflectra Unveils "GenZ-Arator" SpiraApp, Bridging Generational Communication Gaps

2025-03-31T16:24:47-04:00

In response to the growing awareness of linguistic differences among its diverse workforce, Inflectra developed the GenZ-Arator, leveraging the power of generative AI to streamline project collaboration. The SpiraApp, seamlessly integrated into the Spira platform, allows users to instantly convert requirement descriptions into Gen Z-friendly terminology.

"We recognized the need to bridge the communication gap between different generations within our teams," said Adam Sandman, Founder and CEO at Inflectra. "The GenZ-Arator is designed to foster better understanding and collaboration, ensuring everyone is on the same page, regardless of their generational background."

Key Features of the GenZ-Arator SpiraApp:

Instant Translation: Converts technical requirements into Gen Z slang with a single click.
Generative AI Powered: Utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) Bedrock, supporting various LLM families like Nova, Claude, and Llama.
Versatile Application: Suitable for translating simple functional requirements and complex IT modernization projects.
Multiple Translation Options: Generates various versions of the translation, allowing users to select the most suitable phrasing.
User-Friendly Interface: Easy to install and use within the Spira platform.

How it Works:

The GenZ-Arator SpiraApp integrates directly into SpiraTeam. Users can simply navigate to a requirement detail page and utilize the "rewrite" option to generate a Gen Z-translated version. For instance, a requirement like "book a hotel room in a major city" becomes a Gen Z version.

In a recent demonstration, Sandman showcased the app's capability to translate complex technical requirements, such as migrating databases from SQL Server to Amazon Aurora, into accessible Gen Z language. The app also allows for the generation of multiple translation versions, enabling users to refine their communication effectively.

The GenZ-Arator SpiraApp is available for download on the Inflectra website. To experience the future of inter-generational collaboration, download here.

Our plans include enhanced integration of Spira’s release, task, and code management into the CI pipelines, simpler setup and provisioning of GitHub and GitLab integration, and leverage of the new GenerativeAI features of Spira to improve code generation and validation.

What to Expect Next

We are committed to making this transition as smooth and seamless as possible. Below is a high-level timeline of the key milestones to help you prepare:

January 2025 – February 2025: We will provide detailed migration resources, including recommendations for alternative platforms to help you evaluate the best options for your needs.

Price Changes Planned for January 2025

2024-10-23T15:34:21-04:00

What is Changing?

On January 1st, 2025, our pricing for customers on standard pricing, will increase by 8% for purchases, renewals, and upgrades based on adjustments to handle inflation for the past 2 years. For those customers on "Classic" or "Legacy" pricing, the price rise will be larger, reflecting the fact that the pricing for these older customers is lower than the current pricing, and the plan is to eventually have those prices converge.

What Can I Do Now?

The good news is that we're announcing these changes now in October so that you have time to act! This is your chance to still utilize our multi-year discount option* if you still wish to before January 2025, and lock in current pricing. The discounting is as follows:

1 year prepaid is 10% discount
2 year prepaid is 15% discount
3 year prepaid is 20% discount

*the multi-year discounts do not apply to customers on Legacy/Classic pricing plans.

Still the Best Value!

With this increase we are still much more affordable than our nearest competitors and we also offer additional value. i.e:

Free 24/5 help via Support@Inflectra.com
Concurrent pricing model (pay for only active users at the same time) = unlimited named users
Free Inflectra Campus online learning modules, Knowledge Sharing, Inflectra YouTube updates, and InflectraCon thought leadership.
AWS Partner status which means your Spira/Rapise consumption can count towards your AWS enterprise agreement if you have one
Ability to scale up your volume or contract tenure within 24 hours of payment and down within 30 days written notice (one downgrade per year which we can credit for extensions)
Ability to plug in any AI engine of your choosing and
Ability to integrate with 80+ products (for free) to ensure seamless work processes
Free use of TaraVault, SpiraCapture and SpiraApps
We aim to continue to add more value to you over time, and our product roadmap is driven by your feedback.

Inflectra’s 18th Anniversary: Celebrating “Dress Like Adam” Day

2024-09-17T11:42:04-04:00

The Day in Pictures: Wests, Black Sneakers, and Colorful Shirts Galore!

On Dress Like Adam Day, the office (and Zoom calls!) transformed into a sea of Adam lookalikes. From his iconic nest, our team embraced the quirky yet professional style of our fearless leader. Some even added their preferred "Adam look"—shorts, socks, sunglasses, sneakers, and, of course, all black. Black turtlenecks could also be spotted. After all, we wanted to capture all of Adam’s essence, from his laid-back yet determined attitude to his endless energy for all things tech!

Why Adam? Because His Spirit DefinesOur Company Culture

Surely, Adam Sandman is the founder and CEO, but he’s the heart of Inflectra. His vision, sense of humor, and approachable leadership style have shaped our company culture. “Dress Like Adam” Day was our light-hearted tribute to the person who’s led us through thick and thin with a smile.

Building An Enduring Legacy

Inflectra's journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and as we celebrate 18 years of growth, innovation, perseverance, and success, we are reminded of the incredible team that makes it all possible. "Dress Like Adam" Day symbolizes more than just a fun office tradition—it represents our shared values of authenticity, creativity, and community.

Here’s to 18 years of building technology solutions the world runs on—and to many more years of doing it with passion and, of course, a little humor.

Happy 18th Anniversary, Inflectra!

Inflectra and MVerve Partner to Boost Productivity with New "Quick Links SpiraApp"

2024-08-12T15:17:35-04:00

What are Inflectra SpiraApps?

SpiraApps, Inflectra’s plugin extensibility framework, allows users to customize Spira and extend the platform’s core functionality to match their exact needs. The Spira platform is an integrated solution by Inflectra for companies that need to develop, test, and deliver critical software for various industries using different methodologies. To navigate this reality, Inflectra recently launched its own SpiraApps marketplace opening up its add-ons ecosystem to third-party developers.

Quick Links SpiraApp by MVerve

The Quick Links SpiraApp was conceived in response to a specific customer request for enhanced customization capabilities within the Spira platform. The customer sought to add custom reports or graphs directly to their product-specific home page. Although Spira does not currently support adding such widgets, our partner identified an opportunity to meet this need by developing a SpiraApp that allows users to add hyperlinks to these reports or graphs. After positive feedback from both the customer and Inflectra, the Quick Links SpiraApp was developed to address this requirement.

The Quick Links SpiraApp by MVerve enhances navigation and productivity by offering quick access to frequently used links. Once this SpiraApp widget is activated, admins can add quick links to users' My Page and Product Home page, allowing quick access to key internal reports, wikis, or other important documents.

To learn how to activate and use the Quick Links SpiraApp, visit MVerve’s documentation page.

Inflectra Launches on AWS Marketplace through Amazon Partner Network

2024-12-21T10:26:40-05:00

Why Is Inflectra Partnering with AWS?

Since 2018, Inflectra has been an Amazon Web Services (AWS) customer, using AWS' world-class infrastructure and cloud services to host our applications for customers worldwide. This has given our customers many benefits, including amazing reliability and fault tolerance, lightning-fast response times, an RPO of just one hour, and the ability to Geo-locate your data in a specific privacy zone to ensure you meet your data residency and data sovereignty requirements.

We are now taking this relationship to another level by becoming an official Amazon Partner in addition to being a customer.

What is the Amazon Partner Network (APN)?

The Amazon Partner Network (APN) is the global partner program for Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's designed to help companies build successful AWS-based businesses or solutions by providing business, technical, marketing, and go-to-market support. APN Partners include a wide range of businesses, such as ISVs (Independent Software Vendors), SaaS (Software as a Service) providers, PaaS (Platform as a Service), developers, system integrators (SIs), and hardware manufacturers, which build their solutions on AWS.

We are excited to announce that Inflectra is now an official ISV partner on the Amazon Partner Network (APN), with a discoverable listing for our company as well as our core products and associated services:

Under the Inflectra company profile, you will be able to see our validated AWS solutions:

SpiraTest for Test Management
SpiraTeam for Agile Lifecycle Management for Teams
SpiraPlan for Scaled Agile Lifecycle Management for Enterprises
Rapise for Codeless Test Automation
KronoDesk for IT Service Management

If you are an existing AWS professional services partner on the APN network and looking to expand your revenue opportunities, co-sell, and co-market our agile planning, quality engineering, and DevOps solutions, please contact our partnerships team to join the Inflectra partner network.

In addition, existing AWS partners can now find Inflectra solutions by category and/or keyword. For example, if you search the AWS partner network for a "test management tool," you will see SpiraTest listed as a suggested option:

In addition to being listed on AWS Partner Central, the Inflectra partnerships team will be attending various AWS:Summit conferences around the world, including AWS re:invent in Las Vegas in December. If you are attending any AWS:Summit event or re:invent, please contact us so we can collaborate.

What is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace?

The AWS Marketplace is an online store that helps customers find, buy, and immediately start using software and services that run on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's designed to connect AWS customers with a broad range of solutions offered by independent software vendors, developers, and other providers.

Here are some key features of the AWS Marketplace:

Wide Range of Products: It includes thousands of software listings across categories such as security, networking, storage, machine learning, business intelligence, databases, and more.
Easy Deployment: Products available on the AWS Marketplace are pre-configured to run on AWS. Customers can quickly deploy software solutions in their AWS environment, often with just a few clicks.
Flexible Pricing Options: The marketplace offers various pricing models, including free, pay-as-you-go, and subscription models. This flexibility allows customers to choose a pricing model that best fits their business needs.
Integrated Billing: Charges for AWS Marketplace products appear on the same bill as other AWS services. This simplifies the procurement process and vendor management.
Security and Compliance: Products on AWS Marketplace often come with assurances regarding compliance and security standards, which can be important for enterprises in regulated industries.
Support for Startups to Enterprises: AWS Marketplace serves a broad spectrum of customers, from startups to large enterprises, offering solutions that can scale with customer growth.

We are excited to announce that Inflectra has recently launched its entire product portfolio onto the AWS Marketplace:

We have launched the following products and services on the AWS Marketplace:

SaaS products that are managed fully by Inflectra on AWS infrastructure:
- SpiraTest for Test Management
- SpiraTeam for Agile Lifecycle Management for Teams
- SpiraPlan for Scaled Agile Lifecycle Management for Enterprises
- KronoDesk for IT Service Management
Server products that are managed by AWS as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and allow you to run non-SaaS products in the cloud:
- Rapise for Codeless Test Automation
Professional Services products that let customers purchase Inflectra implementation services such as accelerators:
- Accelerators - Each implementation accelerator is a predefined package of professional services that is designed to accomplish a specific objective with measurable outcomes and goals.

To purchase through the public marketplace, all you need to do is click on the View Purchase Options button, and then you can choose the pricing tier of the product that you are interested in:

You can then simply choose the appropriate license tier and number of months/years and then add the product to your existing AWS account. From that point onward, all of the billing is handled seamlessly by AWS, with the Inflectra customer area used to view your subscription and access your products. You can change your subscription tier in the AWS marketplace and that will seamlessly update the subscription in the Inflectra customer area.

Private Offers

In addition to the public pricing listed on the AWS Marketplace, we can generate Private Offers for customers inside the Marketplace platform. This is very useful if you are a customer who qualifies for one of our standard discounts (Government, Academic, or Non-Profit) or if you already have special pricing for other AWS services. To get a private offer through AWS, contact your AWS account manager or Inflectra.

How Does It Benefit Me?

Purchasing our software through the AWS Marketplace offers several benefits for organizations and individual users. These advantages help streamline the procurement and deployment process, ensuring compatibility with AWS services while providing a range of flexible purchasing options. Here are some of the key benefits for customers as well as Inflectra:

Simplified Billing and Payment: All purchases made through the AWS Marketplace are added to the customer's existing AWS bill. This means organizations can manage a single invoice for both AWS services and third-party software, simplifying the accounting and payment processes.
Immediate Availability and Easy Deployment: Software on AWS Marketplace is ready to deploy immediately, with configurations already set to be compatible with AWS services. This significantly reduces the time and technical effort required for installation and configuration.
Consolidated Vendor Management: By using AWS Marketplace, organizations can reduce the number of vendor relationships they need to manage. This centralized approach can lead to better-managed services, reduced administrative overhead, and streamlined support processes.
Global Reach: For Inflectra, listing our products on AWS Marketplace provides exposure to a global customer base already using AWS, significantly increasing our market reach and sales opportunities.

Overall, AWS Marketplace makes it easier for businesses to procure and manage third-party software that is fully compatible with their AWS infrastructure, helping them leverage their cloud investment more effectively.

Enterprise Spend Commitments

The AWS Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) is a discount initiative designed for organizations spending at least $1m per year on AWS cloud services and committed to extensive and long-term usage of Amazon Web Services (AWS). The program helps businesses optimize their cloud spending while expanding their operations on AWS. By entering into an EDP agreement, enterprises can secure significant cost savings and enhanced value from their AWS investments, which is particularly advantageous during economic downturns.

The AWS Enterprise Discount Program operates on a tiered discount system based on an organization’s annual AWS spending commitment, usually starting at $1 million per year. Key features of the program include:

Customizable Discounts: Discounts are negotiated based on total committed spend and commitment duration, typically ranging from 1 to 5 years. Greater commitments yield higher discounts.
Broad Coverage: Discounts apply to nearly all AWS services and regions, ensuring consistent savings across the AWS ecosystem.
Marketplace offerings: AWS Marketplace can contribute up to 25% of EDP spend. This includes Inflectra products!
Scalability: As AWS usage grows, the program allows organizations to benefit from increased discounts, promoting a sustainable and cost-effective cloud strategy.

So customers that are enrolled in EDP can migrate their existing Inflectra subscriptions to AWS Marketplace, and then the Inflectra products and services will count towards their spend commitment to AWS.

Should I Be Worried About Support for On-Premise and Azure?

No. At Inflectra, we are fully committed to supporting non-SaaS deployments of our product. Whether that is deploying our products onto bare metal servers, virtualized environments, private cloud platforms, or even Microsoft Azure, we believe in giving you the choice. We believe in keeping our products agnostic in terms of environment, so we have strong integration with Microsoft Azure services such as:

What Are Your Future Plans?

Becoming an official AWS Partner and joining the AWS Marketplace is just the beginning. We plan on expanding the capabilities offered by our products by leveraging the world-class services available in the AWS cloud platform.

For example, we recently integrated AWS CodeBuild and CodePipeline into the Spira platform:

SpiraTeam integrates seamlessly with AWS Code tools in a variety of ways. You can easily configure your AWS CodeBuild projects to report against a release by creating a new build in SpiraTeam each time they run. This lets you see the health of your CI/CD process within SpiraTeam. Learn More.

As part of our partnership with AWS, we plan to integrate additional AWS DevOps services such as CodeDeploy and Generate AI services such as AWS Bedrock. In addition, we are in the process of joining the AWS ISV Accelerate program, which will let us collaborate more directly with AWS on potential customer opportunities.

Migrating from Jira Server to SpiraPlan: The Saab Experience

2023-12-12T12:16:20-05:00

The Challenge

Saab AB, a leading aerospace and defense company, operates globally, offering advanced products and services. As a hub of technological innovation, Saab has been utilizing the Atlassian suite, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket, to manage its extensive software development lifecycle across various teams.

In 2021, Atlassian announced the discontinuation of its JIRA Server by 2024. This posed a significant challenge for Saab, necessitating a robust, long-term alternative that supported on-premise solutions that matched or exceeded Atlassian's functionality for large-scale, distributed product development. After thoroughly researching and evaluating 40 potential solutions, Saab chose SpiraPlan from Inflectra for its forward-thinking capabilities and alignment with their data-driven objectives.

The Solution: SpiraPlan

The transition to SpiraPlan began with a Proof of Concept (POC) in 2022. SpiraPlan's then-new Scaled Agile planning features offered enhanced visibility and planning capabilities, surpassing what was available in Jira. It allowed Saab to enhance top-down visibility and planning, aligning with their strategy to be more efficient in software engineering.

Migration Tool Development

A unique challenge emerged in migrating Saab's complex systems from Jira to SpiraPlan, requiring a bespoke migration approach. To address this, Inflectra collaborated with partner Tietoevry to develop the Advanced Jira-to-Spira Migration Tool, offering flexible, user-controlled migration of issues, product and program structures, and more. The tool provides detailed configuration files and data scrubbing features for efficient, iterative migration to SpiraPlan. This migration tool was used in the POC at Saab Ab, enabling the organization to seamlessly migrate over 20 projects and 90,000 issues from Jira to SpiraPlan.

Jira-to-Spira Migration Tool: Features and Availability

Advanced Jira-to-Spira Migration tool allows users to specify what to migrate to a custom program and product structure in SpiraPlan, including:

Product-level releases and requirements, incidents, tasks, comments, and attachments
Program capabilities
Program milestones
Product template custom lists
Product components
Associations between all relevant artifacts
System-level custom lists.

Getting Started with the Migration Tool

The migration tool is available on Inflectra’s GitHub repository and includes comprehensive documentation and example configurations. Users can clone the repo, install necessary Python packages, and customize the settings for their unique migration needs. Here is the step-by-step guide to get started with the tool:

Clone the repo locally
Make sure your machine is using at least Python 3.10
Navigate to the local repo’s folder from the command line.
Run the command: “pip install -r requirements.txt” to install the required Python packages.
Make a copy of the “.env.template” file called “.env” in the root folder of the repo, and fill in all the relevant connection information for Jira and Spira.
Open the “mapping_template.yaml” example configuration file and edit it as needed.
Refer to the readme.md file to learn which commands to execute to achieve your goals.

Speaking at the DC Tech & Venture Coalition (DCTAV) Leadership Meeting

2023-09-22T18:37:17-04:00

What is DCTAV

The DC Tech & Venture Coalition (DCTAV) is a coalition of DC Tech executives & founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders championing DC's tech and innovation sector. Their vision is to make DC the world's most influential city for tech, innovation, and new venture by 2030. They have the resources and the long-term vision necessary to achieve that goal. Before the foundation of DCTAV, there was no single champion for the District's tech sector in the District of Columbia or surrounding communities in Suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia.

Adam's Talk at DCTAV

During the session, Adam discussing the founding of Inflectra, why he chose to bootstrap the company rather than raise money, how he intentionally created a company culture that fosters work-life balance and employee flexibility. He also discussed his personal environment, raising two young children whilst starting the company, and balancing work and family commitments.

Adam also discussed how entrepreneurs and business owners should look to hire people with differing skill sets and personalities to balance out their own (vs. hiring people like themselves, a common mistake). He also discussed how and when to make the leap from a founder-lead sales organization to a professional sales process that lets the company scale. Lastly, he discussed the role of a channel partner program, and how it lets smaller companies scale efficiently.

After the talk, Adam took questions from the audience, covering topics such as - when to build a partner program, why Inflectra was bootstrapped, and where the idea for the original product came from.

Shout Out to Ashtan Moore

We'd also like to give a personal shout out to Ashtan Moore, one of the organizers of DCTAV (who hosted the evening as Kevin Morgan was away) and the person who invited Adam to speak at the event. Ashtan Moore is fervently passionate about growth, especially yours.

From his simple roots as a homeschooled Virginia transplant, Ashtan has “failed up” into an internationally-recognized entrepreneur, speaker, investor, and advisor. As co-founder and partner at Model B, an AI-powered performance ad agency, Ashtan has achieved notable results and driven powerful growth for brands that include Anheuser-Busch, Cognizant, Gilead Sciences, GN Store Nord, Planet Inc., SandboxAQ, ServiceNow, and SailPoint.

Customer Portal Enhanced to Allow More Than Two Contacts

2023-09-12T09:22:58-04:00

Overview of the Customer Portal

The Inflectra customer portal (also known as the Customer Area) is the place where you can manage all of your accounts with us. It lets you sign up for new products and services, view and make changes to your current services, and also access any downloads or license keys for self-hosted products. In addition, it allows you to view your past invoices with us, request quotes and pay any outstanding bills.

Previously, the customer portal allowed only two users to be listed as named contacts on the account:

Billing / Primary User - this is the primary user on the account, and is usually used by the person responsible for purchasing, finance and business.
Shipping / Alternate User - this is the technical user on the account, and is usually used by the IT administrator, responsible for managing license keys, downloads and cloud subscriptions.

For a typical customer, that meant you would see something like the following:

In addition to being able to access the customer area, view information and make changes to the account, these users will also receive email notifications from Inflectra:

Transactional emails - these are sent to notify the users that one of the subscriptions is expiring soon or notifying them about a change on the account (e.g. new service purchased, change in a subscription, etc.)
News emails - these are sent to let the users know of upcoming webinars, product releases, conferences and other useful information about the service.

Finally, the two named account holders are the only users authorized to make any changes on the account or request the reset of any passwords. If you have emailed or called our support desk requesting a service change or password reset, you will already have experienced this first hand. We have instituted this policy to protect your account and prevent any social engineering attacks.

You can change the Billing and Shipping users on the account (if you are already one of the two users) using the Edit Customer Account and Change option:

Any change made to these users will send an email to the existing / replacement user's email addresses.

What's Changed?

The new update to our website, now allows customers (and partners) to have have other users listed on a customer account in addition to the Billing / Shipping users listed above. These users are termed additional users. You can use the Add Additional User button to add such a user:

If they already have a user account, then they will be added automatically for you:

If they do not yet have an account, you can click the Notify button and they will be asked to create an account first.

Once they have been added, they will be able to do the following things:

Login to the customer portal to view the product downloads, license keys, cloud subscriptions, quotes and invoices
Configure certain items such as the cloud subscription add-ons (e.g the cloud data sync service)
Renew and extend product subscriptions, both cloud and on-premise

They will not be able to do the following:

Edit the customer profile or make changes to the users listed on the account
Reset the password of any linked cloud services such as Spira or KronoDesk

In addition, these additional users will receive some (but not all) of the transactional emails sent from our website, and depending on their email preferences, they will typically receive all of the news emails (unless they opt-out).

What You Need to Do

Please login to your Customer Portal as soon as possible and:

Make sure that the two main (primary/billing and shipping/alternate) contacts are correct. They are effectively the two administrators of the customer account and can manage other users.
Add as many other account contacts as you need. The additional users will be notified on important email communications and also can login to retrieve license keys and downloads

Questions?

If you have any questions, please contact our sales team, who will be happy to assist.

Inflectra Completed SOC2 Audit of Its Cloud Services

2023-07-03T16:13:26-04:00

Industry-Standard Accreditation

The SOC 2 audit is one the highest recognized standards of information security compliance in the world. It was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to allow a third-party auditor to validate a service company’s internal controls with respect to information security. The SOC 2 Audited Report is the auditor’s opinion on how an organization’s security controls meet the SOC 2 criteria.

To obtain our audited SOC 2 Report, a third-party auditor reviewed our internal controls including policies, procedures and infrastructure regarding data security, firewall configurations, change management, logical access, backup and disaster recovery, security incident response and other critical areas of our business.

Thanks to a company-wide effort at Inflectra and with the help of our friends at Secureframe, we successfully achieved compliance and received an Auditor’s Report demonstrating that our policies, procedures, and infrastructure meet or exceed the SOC 2 criteria.

We believe the relationship with our customers must be built on trust. The successful completion of our SOC 2 Report is one of many ways that we have planned to earn and retain that trust. SOC 2 is just one aspect of our growing security program. We are committed to continually improving our information security program and retaining an annual SOC 2 audit to ensure we keep supporting our customers’ needs.

Simon Bor, Inflectra's CTO, who leads the company's security efforts, said:

"I hope our successful completion of our first SOC2 audit will give our customers confidence and assurance about how seriously we take protecting the sensitive data they entrust to us. This audit is an important milestone among the many steps we have taken over many years and will continue to take to harden our security."

About SOC2

SOC2 is a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), which specifies how organizations should manage customer data. The standard is based on the following Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy. A SOC2 report is tailored to the unique needs of each organization. Depending on its specific business practices, each organization can design controls that follow one or more principles of trust. These internal reports provide organizations and their regulators, business partners, and suppliers, with important information about how the organization manages its data.

Scope of the SOC2 Certification

Inflectra creates lifecycle management and testing tools for software businesses. Its mission is to help organizations of any size deliver quality software, faster and with lower risk. Inflectra provides both SaaS and on premise offerings. Inflectra's products in scope are all editions of Spira (an enterprise grade software, requirements, risk, quality, and agile management solution) - SpiraTest, SpiraTeam and SpiraPlan, TaraVault (a git and SVN hosting solution addon to Spira), and KronoDesk (a workflow oriented customer helpdesk and support tool). Inflectra's differentiators are its focus on baked-in best practice, easy to use features out of the box to meet complex needs, and the balanced combination of wide ranging but carefully interconnected features. The scope of this report includes the software lifecycle management and customer helpdesk platforms

Inflectra does not use SVB for any of its own banking operations and in fact uses Bank of America, N.A. for all its core business banking operations. As one of the largest commercial banks in the United States, we are confident that it will not be affected by the SVB failure. However as a precaution, we shall be ensuring that all of our funds are diversified to be within the FDIC insurance limits per institution.

Inflectra Launches Plug-ins for Monday.com and ClickUp, Enabling Seamless Collaboration Among Teams

2022-12-15T10:52:07-05:00

Out of the box, SpiraPlan excels in streamlining software development, product design, business analytics, programs, risks, and quality assurance activities. The platform serves as an umbrella for orchestrating the product lifecycle management process, including integrations with other tools that may be better optimized for routine task management.

The newly released plug-ins allow companies to integrate their otherwise siloed project management apps with SpiraPlan, thus removing impediments to team collaboration and boosting management’s ability to monitor the overall project progress. Additionally, since the plug-ins work on a per-project basis, SpiraPlan customers can have each team use the plug-ins to connect individual Monday.com or Click Up instances to their central SpiraPlan platform. As a result, each team can work with its favorite tool, while leadership will enjoy a single, consolidated executive view of the progress and health of the teams.

“We understand that larger organizations have multiple task management tools in different departments and need a better way for those teams to collaborate and communicate,” said Inflectra CEO Adam Sandman. “For customers looking to scale their agile processes with SpiraPlan, but who already have teams using other task-tracking products, these plug-ins help avoid the change management overhead of switching all teams to a single product. No other tool offers the rich, seamless synchronization of data that SpiraPlan and its data synchronization framework provides.”

Key features of the plug-in include:

Bidirectional synchronization of tasks and issues between SpiraPlan, ClickUp, and Monday.com
Multi-project and multi-tool synchronization
Consolidated program, portfolio, and enterprise views

The plug-ins are free with SpiraPlan, and no additional costs are incurred with implementation.

“By implementing the new plug-ins, current and future Inflectra customers can harmonize the management of work across their departments so that product development, sales, marketing, and other teams can more effectively collaborate and communicate. This reduces friction, avoids duplication of effort, and gives executives and managers a real-time picture of the progress across their departments—all in one place,” said Inflectra CMO Thea Maisuradze.

Existing SpiraPlan customers can access the plug-ins by simply enabling them on their Inflectra SpiraPlan data-synchronization admin dashboard. For more information, visit: https://www.inflectra.com

Inflectra Accelerators: The Key To Greater Customer Satisfaction and Partner Engagement

2024-05-07T07:23:16-04:00

Inflectra’s accelerators take unnecessary anxiety out of professional services engagements. They include a predefined set of business objectives, process consulting and training activities, and tangible deliverables offered at a fixed price to customers. These new accelerators do not replace Inflectra’s legendary customer support or other existing services but provide a way for smaller organizations and teams to take advantage of the expertise of Inflectra’s partner network.

After the purchase, customers will be contacted by an Inflectra-assigned solutions partner to begin implementation of the Accelerator services. Partner assignment takes into consideration customer’s geographic location, language preference, specific accelerator deliverables, and Inflectra partner status (platinum, gold, or silver). Inflectra believes this approach will ensure that selected partners are certified in Inflectra products and have the necessary skills, abilities, and expertise to assist the customer.

Inflectra Joins GitLab Inc.’s Alliance Partner Program

2022-11-11T08:03:50-05:00

Inflectra provides multiple levels of integration with GitLab, mainly driven by customer requests, including integration with the code repositories, issue trackers and now most recently the CI/CD pipelines. “Prior to the integration, many of Inflectra’s customers were using GitLab for CI/CD,” says Adam Sandman, CEO & Founder of Inflectra. “It became evident that a collaboration between Inflectra and GitLab would greatly aid customers by enabling them to launch and manage CI/CD pipelines straight from Spira."

“Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is important to successful DevOps practices, and teams aiming to achieve modern software development must keep up with CI/CD innovation,” said Mike LeBeau, Senior Partner Program Manager at GitLab. “We’re pleased to meet customers where they are and offer joint customers the ability to use GitLab CI directly through Inflectra.”

Inflectra has built 3 main points of integration. First, there is an integration with GitLab CI pipelines, which allow users to execute a GitLab CI pipeline directly from the Spira user interface. Second, Spira includes a powerful integration with Git code repositories, including the code repositories hosted in GitLab. Finally, customers have the ability to synchronize the Spira incident tracker with the issue tracking module of GitLab projects.

All three parts of the integration create a seamless and synchronized experience for joint customers who need both SpiraPlan’s world-class test management, portfolio management, and requirements traceability features as well as GitLab’s cloud-agnostic, end-to-end DevOps capabilities.

OctoPerf Integration Released for SpiraPlan

2022-08-16T16:43:35-04:00

What is OctoPerf load testing?

OctoPerf provides a full-online experience to design, run, and analyze load testing scenarios. Octoperf creates instances on a public Cloud using Amazon EC2 and Digital Ocean. These cloud instances report the test results back to OctoPerf in real-time. Users can then analyze testing results live, as they are being collected.

Using SpiraPlan with OctoPerf

This integration works by showing SpiraPlan users a simple button that automatically launches the relevant OctoPerf test scenario. Once the test has completed, OctoPerf immediately informs SpiraPlan, where the results are logged in a new test run against the test case. This test run includes a link to access the detailed test report in OctoPerf.

Spira v7.0 Enables Partners and Customers to Create Native Plugins

2022-07-12T10:36:50-04:00

“We recognize that many companies have good ideas and products, and we want to be able to harness and integrate these into Spira for the benefit of our customers and partners,” said Inflectra CEO Adam Sandman. “The unique features of the SpiraApp plugin extensibility system will allow, for the first time, customers and partners of Inflectra to create their own functionality inside the system.

SpiraApps is a direct result of Inflectra’s partners’ and customers’ feedback.”

SpiraApps is unique in that:

The same set of plugins and extensions written as SpiraApps will be available for cloud and self-hosted (on-premise) versions of the platform without any differences in code — in other words, it will offer “write once, run everywhere” functionality for plugins.
It focuses on industry and methodology-specific functionality, helping to better meet the specific needs of regulated industries. For example, software products targeting the healthcare sector must comply with different regulations and requirements than those for the banking or aviation industries.
It gives individual customers access to features they need without having to contend with any they don’t need, creating their ideal toolchain.
It allows third-party applications to be deployed and run securely and reliably inside the platform using built-in Spira Plugin Manager, so that users can harmoniously blend different tools to meet their exact requirements.

SpiraApps integrates seamlessly with three key DevOps platforms — GitLab, GitHub, and CircleCl. It will also offer enhanced risk management for hardware projects, automated standard tasks, test cases for streamlined project management, and templated artifact descriptions so customers can more easily standardize their processes.

Inflectra offers a suite of intuitive, turnkey enterprise solutions to manage the entire software lifecycle. Its industry-leading products for application test management, test automation and lifecycle management. Among our most popular products are SpiraPlan, giving you the ability to synchronize what matters with agile program development; and Rapise, providing fast and easy test automation for everything—web, mobile, desktop, and APIs.

Eggplant Integration Released for SpiraPlan

2022-08-16T15:50:40-04:00

What is Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence (DAI)?

Eggplant leverages AI to automate the entire testing lifecycle and enables organizations to test their software and applications from the customer viewpoint. Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence (DAI) is a functional test automation system that now includes a command-line tool to remotely trigger automated tests.

Using SpiraPlan and RemoteLaunch with Eggplant DAI

With this new integration, you can use SpiraTest, SpiraTeam, or SpiraPlan together with RemoteLaunch to schedule and remotely launch Eggplant DAI tests and save the results directly in SpiraPlan. This enables you to extend the management capabilities of SpiraPlan to include automation.

This integration requires: SpiraTest/Team v4.0+, RemoteLaunch, Eggplant DAI v6.2+, and the Eggplant DAI command line tool.

Once fully configured, Eggplant DAI can be launched automatically on a schedule by SpiraPlan. When the Eggplant DAI tests complete, relevant test execution statuses in SpiraPlan are updated based on the results of the Eggplant test: passed, failed, or blocked.

You are now able to run the Eggplant automated tests and have the results recorded within SpiraPlan.

For complete test coverage you need to perform the same automated tests across a complete spectrum of platforms, browsers, devices and environments. Using RemoteLaunch with Spira allows you to manage the automated testing process. Track the automated tests against the project’s requirements. Have a holistic view of manual and automated testing.

Enhancements to Inflectra's Spira Platform Give Customers Integrated Software Development, Testing and IT Project Management In the Cloud and On-Premise

2022-06-07T11:27:43-04:00

Migration from Atlassian Jira

Inflectra's Spira platform is deployment agnostic, allowing customers to plan, track, manage, and test projects both on-premise and in the cloud. SpiraPlan offers enterprise agile program management, facilitating the management of software programs and projects like never before, redefining end-to-end software evolution support and bringing harmony to software teams. Built-in project migration tools allow for project data to be moved over from Jira with ease, as well as from other Atlassian tools, like Confluence, Xray, and Zephyr. Like Inflecta's entire suite of software lifecycle management tools, SpiraPlan was designed with features designed for heavily regulated industries where data safety and security are a top priority, including healthcare, banking, aviation, and defense. Some of the product's differentiating features include:

Integrated Testing - Teams can perform software testing directly from within the SpiraPlan tool.
Compliance Management - SpiraPlan can handle ever-changing regulatory compliance in industries such as finance, banking and healthcare.
Electronic Signatures - Stakeholderscan electronically sign off on documents and contracts directly within SpiraPlan.
Agile Boards and Git - Agile planning boards within SpiraPlan support Scrum and Kanban, as well as integrated Git code viewing.

While more companies are realizing the convenience that comes with cloud-based project management services, for other companies, the cloud isn't always an ideal environment, particularly when security concerns are involved. SpiraPlan is made to function equally well in the cloud and on-site. It has been included in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Agile Planning Tools every year since 2017 for its "Ability to Execute" and "Completeness of Vision" for its SpiraPlan application.

"We're incredibly happy with what we've been able to achieve so far, and we're always looking to push the boundaries as a company," said Adam Sandman, CEO of Inflectra. "Jira is a powerful platform, but we've managed to go above and beyond what most companies are used to working with — and I would argue that could be applied to any of our products."

Inflectra Partners with RBCS

Two Companies Reducing Risk and Increasing Quality

As a tool company, Inflectra is dedicated to crafting reliable software solutions for customers of various sizes and across a wide range of industries, ultimately with the goal to help organizations meet their business needs and succeed.

“RBCS shares a similar vision to Inflectra in helping organizations improve their software testing processes by reducing risk and increasing quality in vital areas of the company, so the forming of this partnership makes sense,” says Inflectra Founder and CEO, Adam Sandman. “We look forward to increasing the success of our customers by bringing our combined solutions to the market.”
“We’ve seen so many of our clients struggle to manage critical software and testing tasks using spreadsheets or home-grown, kludgy, and, frankly, inadequate test lifecycle management (TLM) and application lifecycle management (ALM) tools. It’s really unnecessary, because professional-grade tools, such as Inflectra’s toolset, are available,” says Rex Black, RBCS President. “Depending on an organization’s specific requirements and constraints, Inflectra’s tools may be a good choice for replacing tools that have proven unfit for purpose, including spreadsheets, kludgy in-house tools, legacy commercial or open-source tools, or other TLM or ALM tools that were purchased without following industry best practices for tool selection. RBCS is happy to associate ourselves with an industry leader in this important space.”

Inflectra Migrating Bank Accounts to Bank of America from HSBC

2021-08-03T07:31:41-04:00

Background

Since its inception in 2006, Inflectra Corporation has used HSBC Bank USA as its primary banking partner. We chose HSBC in 2006 because of our planned focus on International customers and businesses around the world. We knew that making it easy and convenient for our customers and suppliers to do business with us regardless of their geographic location was important. For the past 15 years we have enjoyed the support and assistance from HSBC.

However on May 27th, 2021, HSBC Holdings announced that it would be divesting its entire US branch network to two different banks - Citizens Bank and Cathay Bank. This divestiture is planned to take effect sometime at the end of 2021 / early 2022. Upon the closing of the transaction, all existing HSBC business accounts will be transitioned over to new SWIFT codes and Account Numbers. Since this would result in a large disruption to our customers, and because we did not believe that the successor banks would be a strategic fit for our business, Inflectra has been in the process of transitioning its business to a new partner - Bank of America, based in New York, NY and Charlotte, NC. Since we are able to continue both our new and old accounts in parallel until 2022, we believe that this approach will result in the least disruption for our customers, partners and suppliers.

In the following sections we will outline the changes (if any) you will need to plan for.

How Will This Affect Our Customers?

Customers Who Pay By EFT / ACH

For those US customers who typically pay Inflectra using the domestic electronic payment systems ACH or EFT, you will need to start using our new Bank of America ABA routing number and account numbers. You can get the correct ABA routing number by going to the Customer Area on our website and viewing any of your past invoices. All invoices now include the new banking information, regardless of the invoice date. You will know it is the correct information if it has routing number 052001633 for ACH payment, and 026009593 for wire payments. If you are using the older HSBC routing numbers and bank account numbers, they will continue to work until the end of 2021, but we recommend updating your records as soon as possible.

Customers Who Pay By Wire Transfer

For those International customers who typically pay Inflectra using the international SWIFT electronic payment system, you will need to start using our new Bank of America SWIFT BIC code and account numbers. You can get the correct SWIFT BIC code by going to the Customer Area on our website and viewing any of your past invoices. All invoices now include the new banking information, regardless of the invoice date. You will know it is the correct information if it has SWIFT BIC code BOFAUS3N and BOFAUS3NXXX. If you are using the older HSBC routing numbers and bank account numbers, they will continue to work until the end of 2021, but we recommend updating your records as soon as possible.

Customers Who Pay By Credit Card

Those customers that pay Inflectra using a credit card (Amex, Visa, MasterCard, Discover) or PayPal will not have to make any changes. We are using the same Merchant Services provider (Global Payments Inc.) and all payments are seamlessly being routed to our new Bank of America accounts.

Customers Who Pay By Check / Cheque

Those customers in the USA and Canada that mail us paper checks / cheques can continue to do so without any change. We are now depositing them into a Bank of America account vs. HSBC, but you should see no difference.

How Will This Affect Our Suppliers?

Finally, for our suppliers, we are now making all payments electronically either by credit card or by EFT/ACH/Wire from our Bank of America accounts. There should be no change from before except that the bank account you will see on your electronic receipts will have changed. There is no specific action you need to take. We have already migrated over all suppliers and vendors to Bank of America.

Where Can I Get More Information

If you have any questions or need to get additional documentation from us to update our bank account in your accounting system, please contact us at sales@inflectra.com and we will be happy to assist.

Inflectra Launches Ambitious 2050 Plans for Expanded Data Hosting

2021-03-29T12:56:40-04:00

Building on its existing network of regional cloud-hosting hubs in the USA, Canada, European Union, Australia, India, Singapore, and emboldened by an unprecedented acceleration of the adoption of the company’s SaaS platforms - SpiraTeam and SpiraPlan, especially in the regulated industries, Inflectra believes the time is right to start planning for the future potential needs for private cloud-hosting infrastructure in support of planned human outposts on both the lunar surface and nearest planetary neighbor. Since the release of data from the recent Guinevere One space exploration mission, the timeframe for human settlement on Mars is looking increasingly likely.

As has been seen in Europe, data privacy and data residency rights have become increasingly important, with many terrestrial jurisdictions requiring different classifications of data to be stored and processed within their legal boundaries. In the same way that Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has set the standard for much of the rest of the world, the GDPR is likely to form the backbone of the privacy legislation in future human settlements on other planets.

Dr. Adelaide Brooke, Head of Innovation for Inflectra elaborates “Although the timeframe for planned human settlement on other planets such as Mars is relatively far away, we believe that having a competitive advantage in cloud services in preparation for the planned Bowie Base One in 2050 will be imperative for Inflectra to ensure that its platforms are ready to support the IT systems of the future. In addition, the legal frameworks for data transfers and data protections for future Martian citizens are at present unclear, and we believe that our plans for private, yet federated data-hosting between Earth, Mars, and other planets will be a foundation for future endeavors, and will set the standard for our industry. In fact, Inflectra’s mission statement is to bring Harmony to software development, and we anticipate these industry trends leading to a united federation of planets when it comes to data hosting.”

Founded in 2006, Inflectra is a market leader, developing turn-key solutions that address many challenges in software testing and QA, test automation, and product lifecycle management.

For customers seeking to migrate from Jira Server, the company offers a clear and easy migration of user stories, defects, test cases, and source code while also synchronizing releases and versions. A similarly intuitive migration and synchronization path is available for those using Jira plugins, like Zephyr, XRAY, or TM4J.

Inflectra has worked with its implementation partners to ensure that Spira has support for the key features needed by Jira Server customers.

For more information about migrating from Jira to Spira, we have put together a handy resource page for those customers who are looking to make the switch.

On-Demand InflectraCon 2020 Virtual: Inflectra's Agile Testing and DevOps Conference

2020-09-08T20:30:13-04:00

The move is intended to give the conference attendees the complete freedom to choose what to watch and when. Unlike the classic in-person conference, an on-demand conference setup eliminates a need for conference attendees to choose between various concurrent talks in the program. Furthermore, the Netflix-style on-demand streaming is democratizing access to knowledge and works for the tech community in virtually every time zone.

"Our biggest challenge with InflectraCon™ 2020 Virtual as a global conference was addressing the participation gap - whereby software testing enthusiasts can't attend world-class tech conferences because they live in the "wrong" time zone. Emboldened by the recent digital transformation and the emergence of new ways of conferencing, Inflectra is bridging the participation gap by offering InflectraCon™ 2020 as an on-demand event, thus expanding its reach beyond the confounds of our time zone. Furthermore, in these uncertain times, we decided to offer Free Passes to everyone willing to learn from the fantastic speakers at InflectraCon™. All over the world, new ways of conferencing are being tested, and we too are charting our own unique path." said Adam Sandman, the CEO of Inflectra®.

During the four days, InflectraCon™ 2020 will host 40+ speakers across four thematic tracks covering: agile software testing, Quality Assurance, test automation, DevOps, AI, and more. The conference includes keynotes, workshops, expert talks, industry presentations, and certification courses spread across over 80 learning sessions.

In addition, InflectraCon™ 2020 will use the word-class Discord collaboration platform to bring the networking and "hallway conversations" aspect of conferences to the digital realm for the first time. "Discord has proven itself for real-time collaboration between gamers and students; we feel it is the perfect platform for a virtual conference," said Thea Maisuradze, the CMO of Inflectra®.

About InflectraCon

InflectraCon™ Virtual is Inflectra's Agile Testing & DevOps Conference. The conference offers a multi-track, four-day virtual experience focusing on software testing, agile methodologies, DevOps, and program management with Inflectra®'s platform. Learn more here: https://www.inflectracon.com/

Inflectra Launches Spira Implementation Services To Streamline The Platform Adoption

2020-07-17T10:53:34-04:00

Inflectra Services Overview

As we have worked with organizations looking to start using Spira and Inflectra products in their organizations, we have seen that there is a consistent need for the following assistance:

Custom report writing
Consulting to setup templates/workflows
Data migration assistance

As you know, every Inflectra product comes with our legendary technical support, which offers unlimited email, phone, help desk, forums, and knowledge base support. However, sometimes customers need more hands-on assistance than our support team can provide, but not large enough for one of our certified implementation partners. For example, our support team can assist you in migrating your data from a spreadsheet to SpiraTest, whereas our new implementation services would provide you with a person who would be dedicated to doing that migration for you!

The following sections, outline the types of assistance we can offer, in each of the three categories.

Custom Report Writing

Ever since we released the custom reporting and custom graphing features to Spira, users have been excited about the range of reports, graphs, and charts they can create. We frequently publish sample reports in our knowledge base and forums:

The custom reporting functionality lets you create tailored documents in Excel, Word, PDF, HTML, and Raw XML formats as well as create beautiful bar charts, donut charts, and line graphs that you can team can embed on their reporting dashboards.

However, some customers have asked us if we could create custom reports for them as part of their support. Much as we'd like to help, our support team is not structured and staffed in the way that allows them to provide such consulting and report creation. A large part of the effort in creating a custom report is understanding the customers' needs and mapping it to the data available in Spira. In many ways, the easiest part is usually the final creation of the report inside Spira.

Today, we are now pleased to announce that we are now able to provide custom report services by dedicated personnel (separate from our support organization). So if you're interested in having us create some custom reports for you, we can now help. Of course, for large projects, you can work with our implementation partners.

Consulting to Setup Templates/Workflows

Another common need from prospective customers that are just embarking on their journey with Spira is the need to configure the product templates, fields, and workflows to match their organization's standards and processes:

Most of our smaller customers will usually use our self-help training resources, using the intuitive user interface to add workflow steps, add/remove transitions, configure the fields in each workflow step, design the approvals, and add any necessary custom properties. For larger customers or those looking for a more accelerated implementation, we offer dedicated consultants who can consult with you to learn about your needs and design the appropriate workflows and product templates in the system.

Data Migration Assistance

Finally, the other large task that confronts customers will be the task of migrating data into Spira from their legacy systems (if they are lucky) or from a plethora of documents and spreadsheets (sadly very common). Spira comes with a wide variety of easy to use migration tools for document formats such as Excel, Word, Project and Google Sheets, as well as other tools such as Micro Focus ALM, TestRail, TestLink, TestDirector, Microsoft Test Manager, IBM DOORS, etc. So normally the migration is straightforward and can be performed entirely in-house:

When you have a large number of documents to be migrated, or their format needs some conversion before they can be used in our migration template, our dedicated implementation services professionals can take on this burden from you and your team.

Our implementation personnel will not only assist in doing the actual migration into Spira, but will also consult ahead of time to understand the data you are working with. This means they can offer suggestions and improvements to the data so that you can maximize the functionality in Spira and improve your processes rather than just blindly migrating your data and not being able to take advantage of the best practices 'baked' into Spira.

How do I Learn More?

If you are interested in learning more about our Spira implementation services, please contact our sales team at your convenience.

Inflectra’s Agile Testing & DevOps Conference - InflectraCon - Goes Virtual

2020-05-18T12:29:11-04:00

“In 2020, InflectraCon™ is geared toward highlighting a particularly strong offering Inflectra has for the healthcare and biotech industries. Our systems support software testing, validation and compliance with HIPAA and FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 to ensure that, in the rush to provide life saving treatment for COVID-19, complex and shifting regulatory and public safety needs are effectively managed.” said Adam Sandman, the Director of Technology at Inflectra

Due to COVID 19, Inflectra chose to cancel the real-life InflectraCon™ 2020 event, originally planned to take place in the fall in the nation’s capital. However, the company plans to harness the full power of digital conferencing platforms to deliver the most impactful InflectraCon™ yet. Indeed, with the move to virtual, InflectraCon™ 2020 can be delivered to Inflectra’s massive user-base across the globe and can be accessed by those who would otherwise be unable to travel to the US to attend the conference.

Our Plans for Dealing with the Coronovirus Situation

2020-04-02T14:57:50-04:00

We see the current situation with respect to COVID-19 affecting these main areas of our operations:

General economic impacts
Impacts to our company offices
Impacts to travel and conference schedule
Inflectra Response: Customer Care

General Economic Impacts

This is hard to predict, but we can expect to see that with the fall in the stock market and worries of global economic activity, the company won't be immune. Some of our prospects may decide to delay purchases because of budget freezes, some customers may choose not to renew because projects have been cancelled. For the most part, the ability of our products to cut costs and allow distributed collaboration may mean that some loss of business could be offset by gains. However to be prudent, even though we've had a strong start to the year, we are continuing to work under the assumption that the rest of the year may not be as strong, so the company will keep costs under control and avoid any unplanned expenditures. Any changes to this plan will be communicated to the teams immediately.

Company Offices

For those employees or contractors who work from our offices, we always have a liberal telework policy in place. However, in the context of COVID-19:

As per the CDC recommendations, we strongly encourage our colleagues that if they are feeling under the weather, it is better to take a day off or work from home (depending on how they feel) than to come into the office sick. It is Inflectra's standard policy that team members do not come to the office if they have any flu-like symptoms. This policy has become more strictly enforced of late
Should the situation in a specific metro areas worsen, Inflectra may decide to institute mandatory telework for all employees for a period of time for that office. So we recommend all teams make sure laptop, VPN, phone, and other tools work remotely now
In the meantime, we will be installing hand sanitisation stations at the entrance of our offices so that everyone can easily disinfect after going to the bathroom, using the elevator, etc. We have requested our landlords to install similar facilities in the building lobbies as well.

Additionally, all Inflectra team members should be aware by now that the company offers an excellent and generous health insurance package, including for its part-time employees.

In the short run, all employees are encouraged to seek medical attention if fever and/or flu-like symptoms are observed. As a best practice, we also recommend team members get their seasonal vaccinations taken care of in a timely fashion.
Should any member require assistance in getting their or their family health insurance adjusted, they are encouraged to follow the proper channels internally.

Travel & Conferences

The potentially biggest impact in the near term will be to our planned conference schedule. We are actively monitoring the upcoming events and working with the conference organizers to see if they will be going ahead as planned or will be cancelled. Currently no events have been cancelled, Swiss Testing Day is under review right now, and the word from JFTL, STPcon and TechWell is that they will proceed with additional precautions in place.

If a planned event is not cancelled by the organizers, our current plan is to attend the conference as planned, with extra precautions in place for the air travel and interactions at the booth / event. Depending on the severity of the situation in the location of the event and the health conditions of the proposed attendees, we may need to reassign some of the people we had planned on sending. If a team member is listed as attending an event and s/he doesn't feel comfortable attending, it should be communicated to the management and appropriate substitutions will be made. Similarly we may ask some colleagues in the coming weeks to step in and cover an event if someone else is not able to travel due to a health condition. All teams have an absolute right to decline travel at this point in time.

Our Response: Customer Care

With the global pandemic raging outside our windows, we are offering help to our customers and the community of users in the following ways:

moving on-premise Spira instances to the cloud (AWS) to facilitate teleworking (cherry on top - take 20% off!)
additional staff training for Spira, and Rapise (free version available) as more staff and resources are being re-assigned to testing, QA and automation
fast-tracking the provision of additional licenses for new team members or newly trained staff (take 20% off!)
extending all existing Inflectra trials to avoid loss of clients' data and to allow for a more in-depth understanding of powerful capabilities of our software products
providing guidance on how to telework and teleTEST effectively, including while using Rapise and Spira family of products.

If you need any of this taken care of, please do not hesitate to reach out #TeamInflectra at sales@inflectra.com.

Stay safe, wash hands, keep your distance.

Rapise 6.3 Released to Provide Rapid and Easy Testing of SAP Hana Applications

2020-01-27T16:58:20-05:00

Support for Testing SAP Hana UI5 Applications

Adam Sandman, Technical Director of Inflectra said:

We are very excited to have added support for testing and automating the SAP Hana ERP Platform. Rapise is already a proven solution for other complex ERP and CRM applications such as Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce, and now that power and flexibility has finally come to the SAP ecosystem.

Rapise 6.3 comes with a new web library dedicated to testing SAP UI5. This provides support for the SAP UI5 (Fiori) platform itself, plus any other non-SAP applications that are using the same OpenUI5 web toolkit.

When customers try and test SAP applications using just open source tools such as Selenium or many other testing tools not specifically designed for SAP, the results are pretty poor. This is because the SAP user interface is sophisticated and uses dynamic elements, hidden layers and other elements that make testing by hand quite challenging. The dedicated support in Rapise makes this much easier. Pages that would take several days to automate by hand using Selenium can be created in Rapise in less than an hour.

In addition, the new Self-Healing Mode available in Rapise v6.2 was a crucial foundation from which we were able to create the SAP support in Rapise. The unique Rapise self-healing engine helps deal with complex cases in SAP and makes playback much more reliable.

Ability to Run Rapise Tests in a Container using NodeJS

We are excited to announce another amazing new feature in Rapise v6.3 - running web and mobile tests under NodeJS. This lets you execute Rapise tests not just on Windows where Rapise is typically installed to write tests, but in other places - on Macs, Linux, containers such as Docker or Kubernetes, and build pipelines such as Azure DevOps pipelines, CircleCI, TravisCI and GitHub pipelines.

About Rapise

Whether it’s the web, mobile, desktop applications, APIs (REST and SOAP) Rapise helps you test it all. Rapise doesn’t just test, it understands. It knows about a wealth of complex applications including, for example, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, and SAP. And it will help you manage tests spanning multiple technologies at once. Rapise makes automated testing accessible for everyone. Using Rapise, anyone can create and change tests. Rapise records your actions, then lets you edit them in its easy-to-use visual keyword driven framework called RVL. Want to get into the code? Then dig in to our JavaScript-based engine that’s a breeze to extend and integrates with open source standards such as Selenium and Appium.

Introducing the Inflectra Global Technology Initiative

2024-07-11T20:09:29-04:00

Background

Since one of our company Core Values is "Second Acts," we are always looking for ways to give opportunities to people. In the past, we have provided support for people transitioning into the technology discipline through freeCodeCamp - an online community for aspiring programmers. We provided internships and career mentoring to graduates of freeCodeCamp, helping them get the experience necessary for their first technology jobs.

In addition, on a larger scale we have supported the Codo a Codo program in Argentina. This initiative was developed by the Ministry of Education and Innovation of the City of Buenos Aires to train students in the arts of programming and software testing and thus be able to join the most innovative companies in the technology sector or develop their own startups as entrepreneurs. Inflectra provided (and continues to provide) the software and hosting for the tools used to run the classroom.

In addition, Inflectra supports other institutions of higher education in their mission, including RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, and the UPC School in Barcelona, Spain.

Overview of the Program

Building on these successes, we're looking to expand our reach and help even more communities around the world with the Inflectra Global Technology Initiative.

If you are interested in setting up a program in your community, or if you are already working with students in a community college, vocational school or other establishment of opportunity, please reach out to us and we can provide you with free licenses (and hosting) of our SpiraPlan platform and our other tools for software testing (for example Rapise for automated testing) and development (for example TaraVault for source code management).

We can provide free training and enablement for getting your own program up and running. We can also put you in touch with our colleagues at Codo a Codo and other programs who can share lessons learned and best practices.
This program is specifically for the purposes of instruction where we provide the tools for free for teaching and training. We also provide educational / academic discounts on our products when used by the institution or organization for their own business purposes.

How do I Contact You?

That's easy, just use the handy Contact Us form on our website.

Changes to Spira Pricing in 2020

2020-01-06T09:48:33-05:00

Background

During 2019 we conducted a review of Inflectra's products and services to compare them to similar tools and products on the market from our competitors. Furthermore, during our InflectraCon 2019 conference, we solicited feedback from customers on our company, products, service and pricing and found out that our products were underpriced vis-a-vis the value they offered. After conducting a comprehensive market research exercise in late 2019, we determined that our prices had not kept pace with the market.

In parallel, we are looking to build out our products and services further in the next two years to address needs that we identified in the market. So it makes sense that we change our current pricing to position ourselves better for growth. As you know one of our company's key missions is to "build for our users and not for Wall Street", we therefore want to make sure we have the features and infrastructure in place for the long haul.

The changes we're making to the pricing are designed to be affordable to our customers who value having solutions that are powerful, easy to use, and deliver a superior return on investment. So although the prices will be going up overall, we believe that we continue to offer the best value in the industry for a complete set of tools to manage your software projects. In addition, we will not be making any additional price changes for at least the next two years.

Improvements In Our Service in 2019

We have been busy adding new features to the Spira platform this year, including:

In addition to the new features, we have migrated our cloud hosting to Amazon Web Services (AWS) using high performance Solid State Drives (SSD) and local hosting options. The combination of lower network latency, application improvements and better database performance (because of the SSD drives), has resulted in a 300% increase in performance.

What To Expect in 2020

Looking forward to 2020, we will boost the value Inflectra brings to you in the following critical directions:

Support - we will be improving our customer support experience (which is already highly rated in the industry) to include more options for 24x7 coverage so that we can be available around the clock when our customers need us
Functionality - we will be focusing on adding functionality to improve the support for regulated industries, large-scale projects and programs, and a general overhaul of the reporting and analytics features
TaraVault - in 2020 we are making TaraVault free. Starting in 2020, TaraVault will no longer require a separate fee to use and an unlimited number of TaraVault users will be included for free with every SpiraTeam and SpiraPlan subscription. So if you are using alternative tools such as GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket, you may want to consider migrating to TaraVault.

Changes to Spira Pricing

For new customers, we will be raising the prices for the cloud and on-premise versions of SpiraTest, SpiraTeam, and SpiraPlan by approximately 40%. These prices changes will be for the subscriptions, license purchases, and annual maintenance of new users that have not been using these products in 2019.

For existing customers, we will be limiting the price rise to approximately 20%. These prices changes will be for the subscription renewals, product upgrades, and annual maintenance. We will provide (by email) a special discount code so that existing customers can automatically reduce the price during checkout. We will also proactively apply this special pricing when we provide quotes.

Other Products

For users of our other products: Rapise, KronoDesk, there are no plans to change these prices, and the prices for 2019 will continue into 2020 unchanged.

In conclusion, if you already have unexpired quotes from us, we will continue to honor them at the price they were issued, so please make sure you place such orders as soon as possible.

Questions?

If you have any questions about the pricing changes and how they will affect your account, please contact our sales team at sales@inflectra.com

Inflectra Awards Graduation Diplomas to Tech Students in Argentina

2019-11-21T11:09:28-05:00

In 2018, the Buenos Aires City Government (GCBA) and Codo a Codo partnered with Inflectra in a formal training program that teaches the fundamentals of software testing to high-school students from city's disadvantaged neighborhoods. The program is using two of Inflectra’s flagship software testing platforms - SpiraTest and Rapise to teach the program participants about the industry's best practices in agile software testing and test automation, respectively.

On November 20, 2019, the 150-strong cohort of 20-30 years old graduates of Codo a Codo will be awarded their graduation certificates at the Government House of the City of Buenos Aires. After graduation, the majority of program graduates will discontinue their formal education in order to secure employment, thus making Inflectra’s partnership with Codo a Codo a key to program participants’ success on the job market.

"It has been an honor to support the students of Codo a Codo with Inflectra's software technology. We hope to have played a role in unlocking new and exciting job opportunities for these young people as they make a key transition into adulthood and into the world of tech. We wish them success! On our part, team Inflectra will continue to support Codo a Codo in their work." said Adam Sandman, Technical Director of Inflectra.

Inflectra has traditionally supported educational institutions as part of its core value of inclusivity and expansion of employment opportunities. In line with the company's philosophy of fostering Harmony, Inflectra is promoting the idea of “second acts” i.e. helping people on the periphery of the labor market to find great jobs in tech. This has been achieved through adult internship programs, the transfer of tech know-how to universities worldwide, and by unleashing the potential of underemployed talent (stay-home parents, caretakers, recent immigrants, etc).

SpiraTeam Helps RMIT University Educate the Next Generation of Software Engineers

2019-10-28T23:04:02-04:00

Helping RMIT University in Its Mission

RMIT University is an Australian public research university in Melbourne, Victoria. Founded by Francis Ormond in 1887, RMIT began as a night school offering classes in art, science, and technology, in response to the industrial revolution in Australia. Today, RMIT is a world leader in Art and Design; Architecture; Education; Engineering; Development; Computer Science and Information Systems; Business and Management; and Communication and Media Studies.

RMIT University came to Inflectra, looking for assistance in modernizing the tools it was able to provide for students for learning best practices in development and testing software applications. Inflectra's SpiraTeam application lifecycle management solution has been instrumental in allowing students to learn about software testing in a real-word environment. The ability to have SpiraTeam cloud hosted in Sydney, Australia and integrated with all the other tools used in the software development classes has been of huge benefit to the instructors and students.

“We couldn’t have imagined the incredible support provided by Inflectra in dealing with our issues and with providing such a great commercial class tool for all our students to integrate into learning and teaching.”

Dr. Isaac Balbin, Assoc. Professor of Database Systems, RMIT University

Inflectra Launches AI-Powered Testing Portfolio As An Alternative to Legacy Platforms

2019-08-29T11:24:07-04:00

Next Generation Testing Platform

With the release of SpiraTest 6.2 and Rapise 6.2, Inflectra is now able to offer the most complete and powerful QA platform that seamlessly works with the major DevOps and ITSM platforms and provides machine learning based test automation that reduces costs and improves efficiency when compared to legacy platforms such as ALM. In addition, our partnership with Neotys includes the world class performance and load testing capabilities within the Inflectra ecosystem making it easy to reuse functional test scenarios for performance and load testing, further improving efficiency.

The new version of our Rapise test automation platform includes a completely new approach to locating objects on a web page that based on our AI/ML research and development that yields significantly better results in creating tests that work without alteration, even when the application being tested changes, or when the application is not optimally designed for automated testing, an unfortunate reality that often results in test automation initiatives failing.

Adam Sandman, Director at Inflectra said:

"Many new customers are looking for alternatives to their current toolset which tend to be either manual methods based on MS-Word and Excel or legacy QA tools such as Micro Focus ALM and UFT. We have had many recent customers switch to the Inflectra platform, benefiting from the ease of use, usability and performance of SpiraTest as well as our seamless migration tools that we provide"

About Rapise

Whether it’s the web, mobile, desktop applications, APIs (REST and SOAP) Rapise helps you test it all. Rapise doesn’t just test, it understands, using its unique machine-learning based algorithms. It knows about a wealth of complex applications including, for example, Microsoft Dynamics. And it will help you manage tests spanning multiple technologies at once. Rapise makes automated testing accessible for everyone. Using Rapise, anyone can create and change tests. Rapise records your actions, then lets you edit them in its easy-to-use visual keyword driven framework called RVL. Want to get into the code? Then dig in to our JavaScript-based engine that’s a breeze to extend and integrates with open source standards such as Selenium and Appium.

Inflectra Launches a New Chrome Extension for Exploratory Testing - SpiraCapture

2019-09-29T12:39:38-04:00

About Exploratory Testing

Cem Kaner, who coined the term Exploratory Testing, described it as "a style of software testing that emphasizes the personal freedom and responsibility of the individual tester.” During this freeform, intuitive approach to testing, the testing steps and path are not predefined and have to be manually captured. The flow and steps of a testing session are important for effective communication between testers and developers. At Inflectra, we strive to make this communication faster and easier.

Stage 1: Exploratory Testing Mode

In version 5.3 of SpiraTest’s testing module, we added a dedicated exploratory testing mode. Any test case marked as “exploratory” is run in this mode. Here, a tester can edit everything about their testing session on the fly: capturing what they are doing as they are doing it in a way that other testers or devs can easily follow. They can rerun the same testing session and change or refine it each time. Once exploring a new feature is complete the test can be turned into a regression test, if needed.

Stage 2: Capture Your Testing Session Automatically

Customers (and our in-house testers) love our exploratory testing mode. It has become an essential part of many businesses QA workflow. But, there are times when you want to know exactly what you did to produce a problem in an application under test. What sequence of clicks or url changes got the app into that weird state? By recording everything significant that the tester does, automatically, in the background, a whole session can be reviewed, one click at a time.

Introducing SpiraCapture

Today we are launching SpiraCapture, Inflectra’s new Chrome extension. SpiraCapture intelligently records and organises your whole testing session. When you discover an issue, you can select the exact sequence that reproduces the problem and log it as incident into the right Spira product. SpiraCapture works with versions of SpiraTest, SpiraTeam, and SpiraPlan 6.1 and above, and is free of charge.

How does SpiraCapture work?

SpiraCapture will record any tabs you want in Chrome. It tracks actions such as clicks and keystrokes automatically on each tab being recorded. While testing, you can add Steps to help organize where you are in your testing session. You can also add notes to remind yourself of when a specific issue happened.

What to do with your data?

It’s easy to look at your captured testing data: during testing, or at the end of a session. The data is broken up by the Steps you have made, and by the testing time. Web applications can be messy, but we have designed SpiraCapture to capture data so that the developer will know exactly what was clicked, or where text was entered.

Each event recorded can be selected and then saved in Spira as an incident. Login to Spira, choose a project and incident type and give the incident a title. Any data and images you have selected get included with the incident. All you have to do is get back to testing and let us handle the capturing!

Our new SpiraCapture tool is free for anyone to use. The built-in preview option, makes communication even easier. It shows what information will get sent to SpiraTest, in plain and portable HTML. If you don’t have SpiraTest, you can copy and paste the HTML into whatever application you want. The data never leaves Chrome, and no sign up to any account with Inflectra is needed.

What's next?

You can install the extension from the Chrome Store. We can’t wait to see how you use SpiraCapture 1.0. We’d love to hear your ideas about the future of SpiraCapture, so please get in touch.

Inflectra Expands Cloud Hosting to Canada

2019-07-22T12:51:03-04:00

Hosting in Montreal, Quebec

With our global footprint and desire to better service customers around the world, we offer SpiraTeam, SpiraPlan, SpiraTest, and KronoDesk cloud-hosted in a variety of different geographies - USA, Europe, and Australia. We offer these different choices so that customers can choose the location that provides the best performance and legal compliance for them. For example, our existing USA based hosting offers excellent performance when accessed from Canada, but there are some other considerations when it comes to data privacy and location.

Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, protects consumer data across the country (in addition, Canadian provinces have additional regulations that sectors must follow). PIPEDA holds private organizations accountable for protecting information during transit and outsourcing.

Federal government institutions are subject to the country’s Privacy Act, which outlines how personal information is stored and collected. At present, there is a proposal that would prohibit classified data from leaving the country.

Alberta and Quebec restrict the transfer of public sector personal data outside of the nation. British Columbia and Nova Scotia prohibit government institutions, Crown agents, and their service providers from moving personal data outside Canada, with limited exceptions.

Ontario prohibits the disclosure of health-related information without the individual’s expressed consent in PHIPA, the Personal Health Information Protection Act.

Depending on where your company is located and what type of business you operate, you may be unable to transfer data outside of Canada

Since Inflectra has customers located in various different provinces in Canada, and we have key features in our products for regulated industries such as Healthcare and Life Sciences, it made sense for us to offer hosting in Canada to simply compliance for new and potential customers. Furthermore, we do not differentiate the pricing for our hosting options, so you can choose any region and still pay the same monthly (or annual) fee.

For Further Information

If you are an existing Canadian customer, looking to have your instances moved to one of the new hosting facilities, please contact our sales team. Similarly, if you currently manage our products on-premise and want to switch, just let us know.

For more information on our Cloud Services, please refer to the Cloud Services section on our website.

Inflectra Integrates ServiceNow with its ALM Platform for End to End Lifecycle Management

2019-07-11T21:10:50-04:00

Synchronizing IT Service Management with ALM

One of the challenges in managing a large integrated IT organization is the need to be able to utilize information obtained from supporting an organization's IT systems and infrastructure and feed it back into the product innovation, design, and development process. That way feedback and experiences from users can be used to continually improve products and services. Without this crucial feedback loop, the product development teams can end up working in isolation from real time user feedback. This results in a crucial disconnect between designers and users of systems.

Product development organizations use tools and systems geared to designing, managing, developing and testing software products and systems. These tools form the backbone of the DevOps toolchain and advances in tooling and integration have made it easier to connect different software development, management and testing tools. For example users of our SpiraTeam ALM suite can connect to other platforms such as GitLab, Azure DevOps and Atlassian Jira. However when it comes to synchronizing information and orchestrating processes with the IT Service Management (ITSM) organization, there has been traditionally a lack of interoperability.

The new synchronization between Inflectra SpiraTeam and ServiceNow lets organizations connect change requests and other assets managed in ServiceNow with products and programs managed in SpiraTeam. For example a new change request in ServiceNow may trigger new product feature requests in SpiraTeam that then result in a new product sprint and sets of development and testing activities.

According to Simon Bor, Inflectra's Head of Development, "I am very very excited about the new integration between SpiraTeam and ServiceNow. It reinforces our commitment to an open, extensible platform, and meets the needs of many of our customers that are already using both SpiraTeam and ServiceNow in different departments and want them to work closer together."

About ServiceNow

ServiceNow is a company that provides service management software as a service. It specializes in IT services management (ITSM), IT operations management (ITOM) and IT business management (ITBM). The ServiceNow platform can be used to manage IT infrastructure and a wide variety of other tasks. ServiceNow is primarily an ITSM tool that has been specifically designed for IT departments. However, ServiceNow is not just a simple Change Management system, it has a much broader functionality, corresponding to the different aspects defined the the Infrastructure IT Library (ITIL).

ServiceNow is typically used by mid-sized or large companies for managing their IT workflows, but it can be configured or customized to the individual business needs of different enterprises. ServiceNow is a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) product, that in addition to its core ITSM functionality, has other modules, for instance, enterprise IT Operations Management (ITOM), IT Business Management (ITBM), Security, Customer Service, HR Service Management tools and a number of others.

Inflectra Platform Chosen to Teach Testing Best Practices in Argentina

2018-08-28T12:21:31-04:00

Background

One in three IT professionals are dedicated to the testing of software applications. This is not only because it is necessary to verify that the applications work correctly, but also because they need to work together with other systems. In the IT industry today, the challenge is system integration, and performing end to end scenario testing that makes sure that the entire solution works together as expected. It is only possible after such arduous testing - that requires not only the correct operation of the system, but also that it has adequate performance - that the IT solution can be put into production.

It was identified that there is a deficiency in this specialty in the classroom, and in Argentina specifically, there are no official certifications and regular training courses, or if there are, they are very expensive and require certifications to be done overseas.

First Official Testing Course

Inflectra's Argentina office saw the need and we have volunteered to assist the City of Buenos Aires Ministry of Education by sponsoring an initiative to bring modern software testing (and project management) best practices into the classroom for the first time. The curriculum will include such important topics as: What is Software Quality and Application Testing, the role of the Tester in the production of Software Applications, Types of Testing, Test Plan, Test Cases and their Execution, Defects, their classification, Acceptance criteria, Exit and End Criteria, and Metrics and estimates", how the testing is measured, its effectiveness, and its density.

All these topics will taught using our SpiraTeam, test management and ALM solution so that the students will end up with not only theoretical but practical knowledge of software testing and management. The course will introduce them to several different technologies, using professional tools which they will find themselves using in their professional life as Testers. Subsequent modules in the curriculum will include the topic of test automation, covering both functional testing and load testing. For these parts of the course, we are providing Rapise and our partner Neotys is providing Neoload that will be used for the practical learning of how to perform test automation in the real world.

About Inflectra

Inflectra is a privately held software company dedicated to making the best software testing, test management, and automated testing tools that meet the needs of developers, testers, and planners everywhere.

Inflectra’s Hackathons Help Start-Ups in DMV Beta-Test Their Software

2018-05-09T13:28:00-04:00

A part of Inflectra’s ongoing Inflectra Gives Back Initiative, the Social Testing™ competition is a community event aimed at helping local start-ups improve the quality of their websites, software or mobile apps through crowd-sourced testing. Scheduled to be held at WeWork Tysons Corner on May 17, 2018, the Social Testing™ competition will use SpiraTest® – Inflectra’s award-winning test management tool to test a software product developed by a DC-based tech startup AspireLabs.

In the era of empowered customers and sharing economy, Inflectra’s Social Testing™ competition is all about giving back to the community. Free and open to everyone, we view hackathons as getting the best of both worlds: On the one hand, hackathons are a fun way for software testers to practice their skills, and win prizes, while using our world-class testing tool – SpiraTest for free. On the other hand, the local start-up gets valuable testing feedback as we send them a complete report on identified bugs, issues and opinions. The software owner may then choose to continue using SpiraTest®, which we offer them free of charge.

“At Inflectra, giving back to our local community is a way of showing that technologies companies have a responsibility beyond the bottom line. It has become an extension of our company values: Family & Life Flexibility, Enabling Second Acts, and Building for Our Users Not for Wall Street.” - said Adam Sandman, Director of Technology at Inflectra.

About Social Testing™

Inflectra’s Social Testing™ competitions are modelled after the International Software Testing World Cup (STWC), and are guided by a set of rules developed by STWC, which were used globally during the STWC preliminaries and finals in 2014, and 2016.

The inaugural Social Testing™ Hackathon in March 2018 was a huge success, with over 30 local software testers testing a popular mobile application - SickWeather. Encouraged by this success, Inflectra plans to host Social Testing™ competitions on a quarterly basis. The company is considering hosting team as well as online competitions in the future.

Rapise 5.1 Released to Provide Scriptless Test Automation for Everyone

2017-06-01T11:46:24-04:00

Introducing Rapise Visual Language (RVL)

The new version of Rapise provides a completely new way of writing tests. In addition to the ability to create tests in JavaScript, Rapise lets you record tests using its powerful test recorder and object spy and generate tests in a table-based scriptless framework called RVL:

Each of the recorded actions and verification steps is now represented by a simple set of rows in the table, with the parameters and values displayed alongside.

The new Rapise Visual Language opens up the door to automated testing for testers and QA professionals who don't want to become programmers and need a way to easily create and maintain tests without the overhead of writing code by hand.

Unleash the Power of Excel

Now one the really exciting things about RVL is that it's ultimately stored as an actual Microsoft Excel file (XLSX) file inside the Rapise project. So in addition to doing simple editing within the Rapise visual editor, you also have the option to open the file in Excel natively

This opens up many exciting possibilities of being able to use Excel formulas to auto-generate test data from another worksheet, perform validation tests by doing calculations in Excel and comparing them with the results returned from the application. You can now use Excel and Rapise to have a powerful, easy to use, yet incredibly extensive test automation framework.

Other Enhancements

In addition to the new scriptless visual language, Rapise includes several other major enhancements that we've previewed in our blog articles:

The REST web service testing functionality has been enhanced to make it easier and quicker to verify the data being returned by the API.
A new set of web libraries has been added to make it easier to test Dynamics 365 for Operations ERP applications.
The application has been updated to use the new Inflectra branding, with UI changes also made to enhance readability

Rapise 5.0 Released by Inflectra to Provide the Ultimate IDE for Testers

2017-01-11T13:54:26-05:00

Why Rapise?

The latest version of Rapise empowers software testers to have the same quality of tools as developers. The Rapise tester IDE is a JavaScript based platform that lets them connect directly to the applications being tested, inspect the objects, record actions, verify results and repeat the test with varying data. Until now, testers needed a whole assortment of different tools to test web applications, mobile apps, packaged software, SOAP endpoints and REST web services. Rapise unifies this experience into a single, easy to use platform with integrated debugging and intellisense.

Microsoft Dynamics

The biggest new feature in Rapise 5.0 is the fact that you can now test Microsoft Dynamics AX and CRM applications just as easily as other applications. Our customers have been crying out for years to us that they cannot reliably test Microsoft Dynamics, and that every single ERP update or patch deployment resulted in many man-hours of testing by manual testers. With Rapise 5.0, you can quickly and easily create Dynamics AX and/or CRM regression tests, so that every update to your ERP system can be tested in hours not days.

Integration with NeoLoad

With Rapise 5.0, you can now convert a functional test script from Rapise seamlessly into a load test and performance scenario. The converted load tests can then be executed directly against your applications and services using the powerful NeoLoad performance testing suite from our partner Neotys. In addition, with Rapise, you can perform a simultaneous UI test in Rapise whilst NeoLoad is load testing the backend. Rapise can then feed the performance metrics to NeoLoad to give you the complete picture of how responsive your application truly is to your users.

SOAP Web Services

Rapise already offers world-class REST web service testing, however Rapise 5.0 now includes a SOAP web service studio that lets you connect to your legacy SOAP web service endpoints, invoke test methods, inspect the XML SOAP packets, generate test scripts and verification points in a fraction of the time of other tools. When you combine the SOAP and REST API testing functionality with your user interface testing, you can now test how API calls affect the user interface and the reverse, radically improving the scope and breadth of your automated testing.

Other Enhancements

In addition to these major new features, we have enhanced the Rapise user interface to streamline common tasks and make it easier and quicker to record, write and execute tests. Incorporating powerful new functionality from NodeJS also offers testers more responsive error management and debugging tools to help identify the root cause of test failures.

Private ownership and a debt-free structure give our customers stability and the promise that we will continue to support their needs long after the close of a sale.

SpiraTeam 5.0 Released by Inflectra, Transforms How Software is Delivered

2016-07-19T16:24:51-04:00

The latest version of SpiraTeam empowers software teams everywhere. It provides a powerful and elegant platform for developers, testers, project managers, and end users to collaborate, and create.

SpiraTeam 5’s brand new user interface is designed from the ground up to be fully mobile responsive, cementing Inflectra’s vision of ‘Spira Everywhere’.

One Platform, All Devices

SpiraTeam 5 works seamlessly across any device--from high-resolution desktops to cellphones. Busy managers can review progress on their smartphone. Testers can run complex tests from their tablets. Developers can check on bugs on the go. SpiraTeam helps everyone involved in making great software work smarter, faster, and more seamlessly than any other ALM platform on the market.

Out of the Box… Ready to Use

SpiraTeam is ready to use, out of the box. Best practices for managing and developing software are codified right into its DNA. With SpiraTeam there’s no need to create your setup from scratch. There are no add-ons to buy just to get the basics working. SpiraTeam 5 gives you sane defaults and pre-built workflows for requirements management, testing, resourcing, and bug-tracking. SpiraTeam includes built-in source code management and version control based on the industry standard Git and Subversion.

Electronic Signatures

SpiraTeam 5 is the only ALM solution on the market that offers built-in, out of the box, support for electronic signatures. No clunky and expensive plugins in sight. Combined with a number of advanced process management features, SpiraTeam provides a trusted, secure, and straightforward environment for teams working in regulated industries like healthcare, banking or energy.

Streamlined Testing

SpiraTeam 5’s testing suite (available separately as SpiraTest) is more powerful than ever. It has a radically new interface for testing your applications and systems. Move through tests using the multi-function progress bar. Pass or fail tests with a keystroke. With rich inline images, a customizable testing environment, and an amazing mobile experience, SpiraTeam 5 offers the perfect testing environment from day one.

Cloud-Based Data Synchronization Hub

SpiraTeam has always been an open ALM platform, easily integrating with other bug-tracking and project management tools. SpiraTeam 5 adds a completely cloud-based data-synchronization service. This removes the need for customers to have any local infrastructure to manage their ALM assets. With SpiraTeam 5, customers can offload their ALM operations to Inflectra and focus on delivering great software on-time, on-budget.

Inflectra and Autom8 Announce Partnership to Enhance Manual Testing

2014-12-09T11:18:03-05:00

Accelerating Manual Testing

Test Engineers are spending more than 75% of their time on Test Creation, Test Execution, and Error Reporting tasks.

WorX users are enjoying efficiency gains of 50% in precisely those areas.

With NO Migration effort & NO Importing, the result is a rapid break-even and a breath-taking Return on Investment!

Existing test cases in Word or Excel? Fasten your seatbelt !

With WorX at your fingertips, you’ll fly through that testing 2x Faster.

WorX can even fire data from your Word and Excel test cases directly into the system you’re testing – saving you precious data entry time and eliminating keyboard errors

Worx from Autom8 Testing extends the reach of SpiraTest into Exploratory Testing and providing an accelerated way of creating test cases using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word as authoring tools and integrating with SpiraTest for robust test management.

About WorX

WorX can be thought of as a Testing Application that sits “above” your test case during execution. The test case itself, in Word or Excel, gets tucked away down on the task bar but remains accessible and changeable by the Test Engineer at all times.

WorX springs to action when called by SpiraTest. It can be asked to record and create a new test, or it can be handed the location of an existing test to run. WorX takes the call, and instantly gets to work.

WorX adds a powerful and vibrant layer of testing capability “on top” of your favourite authoring tools. Word & Excel are great for writing test cases, but they are not good testing tools. The features and functions of WorX accelerate the process of creating and executing test cases manually, and these are implemented in a flexible and common-sense way. With WorX at your fingertips, you will fly through your manual testing 2x Faster.

About Autom8

Autom8 was founded in 2011 and has its headquarters in Wellington, New Zealand.

The company was formed with one goal in mind: “To speed up a world full of software testing”

As we set out to put our decades of test automation experience to use, we found that a staggering 85% of all testing was still performed manually… and that much of this was in Word & Excel.

We discovered a global testing community that was simply unwilling to give up their tests in Word & Excel - despite some of the challenges that go with this. At autom8, we frequently talk about this “fight against gravity” – the tendency for testing teams to gravitate back to Word and Excel so often.

Word & Excel are great authoring tools, but not good testing tools, so the answer was obvious …

Our flagship product WorX is a powerful Manual Testing accelerator that sits “above” those test cases in Word & Excel - allowing teams to test 2x Faster, while maintaining that fiercely guarded authoring freedom.

Finally, there’s a smarter way to conquer all that Manual Testing !

Inflectra Corporation Joins US-EU Safe Harbor Framework

2013-02-10T22:48:59-05:00

Certifying to the Safe Harbor assures EU organizations and governing entities that a US company comprehends and has implemented adequate personal data privacy protections. The certification also in most cases eliminates the need for prior approval to begin data transfers between the EU and US, and in all cases ensures prompt approval of such transfer from the data protection authorities in EU member states.

The Safe Harbor certification enables Inflectra to provide its world-class SpiraTeam and KronoDesk software as a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription to its large multinational customers that need to easily share data between their offices in the US and EU. In addition it allows us to build increased capacity and redundancy in our US datacenters that can be used to host data for our EU customers.

The European Commission's Directive on Data Protection prohibits the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area to nations that do not meet the EU standard for privacy protection. Approved by the EU in 2000, the Safe Harbor provides a streamlined means for US organizations to comply with EU data standards for protecting personal data privacy and improve service to their clients in the EU. The Safe Harbor certification is recognition of the level of care and the degree of security that Inflectra has in place to protect the sensitive and confidential data that is entrusted to us for storage and hosting by our global network of customers.

Organizations voluntarily certify to the Safe Harbor, and must re-certify annually. For more information on the Safe Harbor and for a list of certified organizations, please visit: http://www.export.gov/safeharbor.

Eclipse and Visual Studio Integration Brings SpiraTeam to Your IDE

2010-07-15T12:17:43-04:00

One of the challenges facing organizations today, is the need to reduce the number of disparate systems and interfaces that people have to use to manage their software lifecycles. With SpiraTeam, organizations can migrate away from old fashioned, stove-piped separate requirements, quality assurance, software testing, project management and bug tracking systems into an integrated web-based lifecycle management system.

Such a seamless web-based environment provides a superb interface for business analysts, testers, managers and executives. However, developers responsible for developing the software code typically need to work in powerful IDEs that are appropriate to the type of the software being developed. Therefore to maximize efficiency and improve productivity, developers can now access their SpiraTeam information directly within their existing IDE.

For Visual Studio, there is an Add-In that snaps into the existing Solution Explorer, adding a project explorer that displays the assigned requirements, tasks and incidents. You can open up any of the artifacts in the main viewing pane and act on them accordingly. For Eclipse users, we have used the Mylyn task-focused interface to deliver SpiraTeam information directly into the Mylyn task repository so that using SpiraTeam is as familiar as any other part of the Eclipse environment.
