Moving projects between application lifecycle management systems can be complex, especially when teams need to preserve not just their data, but also the workflows, custom fields, users, and processes around it. Our new Spira Product Migration Tool makes it easier to transfer complete products between separate instances of SpiraTest, SpiraTeam, and SpiraPlan. It is designed to move both product artifacts and the configuration that gives those artifacts context, helping organizations avoid time-consuming manual reconstruction. Whether supporting a merger, divestiture, consulting handoff, or infrastructure consolidation, the new tool provides a practical way to make Spira products far more portable.

We are excited to announce the release of Rapise 9.1, the latest version of Inflectra’s powerful test automation platform. This release takes another major step toward making AI a practical part of everyday software testing, with two new capabilities at the center of the update: AI Translator and MCP Chat.
Together, these features make it easier to create automation using natural language and introduce a new conversational way to work with both Rapise and Spira. Rather than treating AI as a separate tool that sits outside the testing process, Rapise 9.1 brings it directly into the automation environment, where it can understand tests, interact with testing tools, and help users get work done.

We’re excited to announce the latest evolution of Inflectra.ai inside Spira: a new conversational chat experience that lets users interact with AI directly from within their Spira workspace.
Until now, many Inflectra.ai capabilities have focused on specific, high-value actions: generating test cases, identifying risks, creating requirements, analyzing coverage, summarizing information, and helping teams complete common software delivery tasks more quickly. The new chat experience adds another dimension: users can now have an ongoing conversation with Inflectra.ai when they need help, guidance, or clarification while working in Spira.
It is also an important step toward something much bigger.

For the past several months, we've seen an explosion of AI-powered development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, GitHub Copilot, and Visual Studio Code with AI agents such as Cline. These tools have transformed how developers write code—but until now, they could only look at project data stored in Spira.
Today, that changes.
We're excited to announce a major new release of the Spira MCP Server, transforming it from a read-only research tool into a fully interactive AI integration platform. AI assistants can now not only retrieve information from Spira, but also create, update, organize, and collaborate on work items directly inside your ALM environment.
This is a significant step toward making AI a true member of your software development team.

Automated UI tests are valuable when they run reliably, but in many teams the biggest challenge is not creating tests in the first place. It is keeping them working as the application changes. Rapise 9.0 addresses that problem with a new self-healing approach called SmartActions, designed to make automated web tests more resilient when buttons move, labels change, or elements are restructured in the interface. Instead of depending only on brittle technical locators, Rapise now combines stored object information with natural language action intent, then uses AI-based visual recognition to recover the correct element when the UI no longer matches the original test exactly.

At Inflectra, we are excited to announce a whole new category of QA: SureWire™.
As Agentic AI moves from the lab into the enterprise, many teams are asking: Will our AI work correctly all the time? What risks do our AI apps have? Do our AI features give consistent great quality?
To bridge the gap between experimental models and enterprise-grade reliability, you need a quality assurance tool built from the ground up that leverages AI to dynamically probe and test AI. That is exactly why we built SureWire—to help you go from simply not worrying about your AI agents to knowing they are safe, reliable, and effective.
Join the waitlist today to secure your early access to the beta.
