QA Testing Landscape

Traditionally, QA organizations use the following tools
and systems to manage their testing:

Requirements stored in MS-Word documents or MS-Excel
spreadsheets

Test scripts for user acceptance testing stored in MS-Word, MSExcel with results recorded on paper and transcribed manually
back into the spreadsheet

MS-Access, MS-Excel or standalone web-based bug-tracking
system for tracking issues and defects

Automated testing is done with a variety of tools depending on
the platform and language being tested (Java vs. .NET, web vs.
client-server)

QA Testing Challenges


This leads to the following challenges:

Processes are ad-hoc and not repeatable across projects

There is no visibility between test cases, requirements and
defects. How do you know when you are truly ‘done’?

Measuring progress and productivity during testing is time
consuming and difficult

It’s hard to share information across the project and get real-time
metrics regarding the quality of the system being tested

There is no central repository of test results from all sources –
both automated and manual
SpiraTeam is explicitly designed to address these issues
and provide an integrated solution

Why Agile Methodologies?

Traditionally projects are delivered in a series of phases
that are based on increasing levels of certainty around
the system being built:
Traditional Waterfall Methodology
Requirements
Gathering
Business
Design
Technical
Design
Systems Development
Unit
Testing
Integration
Testing
Acceptance
Testing
(UAT)
Release Complete

However this approach has some drawbacks:




It is not flexible to changes in customer requirements
Time is wasted building features that nobody needs
The end user cannot give feedback till it’s completed coded
You don’t know how stable the system is until the end
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
-6-
The Agile Approach

Instead of phases, projects are broken down into
releases and iterations. At the end of each iteration you
have a fully functioning system that could be released:

The Agile Approach (3)

The requirements for the project do not have to be codified upfront,
instead they are prioritized and scheduled for each iteration:
 The requirements are composed of ‘stories’ that can be
scheduled into a particular release and iteration

The Agile Approach (3)

There are several different agile methods:





Scrum
Extreme Programming (XP)
Agile Unified Process (AUP)
Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
They have specific features that make them better suited
to different situations, but in general, they follow the
same basic agile principles*:




Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

The Existing Project Management Toolkit

Traditionally, Software Development organizations use
the following tools to manage their lifecycles:

Requirements stored in MS-Word documents, MS-Excel
spreadsheets or expensive tools such a RequisitePro, Doors

High-level project plan (GANTT chart) developed in tools such
as Microsoft Project, Primavera and printed out for reference

Project estimates prepared using a combination of the high-level
project plan and specialized standalone MS-Excel spreadsheets

Detailed schedules maintained by individual team members
using MS-Excel, Whiteboards or Groupware solutions

MS-Access, MS-Excel or standalone web-based bug-tracking
system for tracking issues and defects
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation

Project Management Toolkit Challenges

As the static project plan with its discrete phases has
become replaced by the more flexible agile approach,
the old set of tools no longer works:




The project requirements and scope are not locked-down so the
schedule of releases and iterations needs to be connected to the
requirements backlog in real-time
The project schedule is constantly evolving, with stories being
reallocated to different iterations and team members reestimating the number of stories they can complete (velocity)
Defects and stories need to be managed in the same
environment, with the project estimates and schedules taking
account of both at all times
SpiraTeam is explicitly designed to address these issues
and provide an integrated solution

Testimonials

"... Great features, such as integration into JIRA and Bugzilla, for issue
tracking. Clean layout. Great price for the product and great customer support.
I really recommend SpiraTeam. I have tested it thoroughly and found it to be
just what our company was looking for. ...“
- Zeb Anderson - Mortenson Construction

“…I really love this tool it does exactly what I need as a QA manager and
gives me a lot of flexability. The best part is the service. From the phone
support to the responsiveness of the development team I could not be happier
with this purchase. This is the first application I have ever used that I could
say that about. If you are looking for a tool to track Requirements, Releases,
Test Cases, and Defects this is what you are looking for.

For me I look for a tool that allows me to get my job done faster and still
provide me the data I need. This tool does that and with the enhancements
that are planed it will actually be very valuable for other portions of our
company. The other thing I look for is a responsive customer & tech support
team. Inflectra has hands down the best support teams I have ever worked
with. Makes all the difference when you can tell them what you need to
product to do and the actually address your needs...“

Approach for Using SpiraTeam (1)


The first step is to define the high-level project requirements:
 This is a hierarchical list of all the features that the system needs
to fulfill (in some methodologies these are called user stories)
 They can be entered by hand, imported from Excel, or loaded
from other tools like Jama Contour or Enterprise Architect
The next step is to create the project’s high-level schedule:
 Include the major releases, minor releases and optionally builds
and iterations depending on desired granularity
 You can now assign the different lower-level requirements to
each of the iterations so that it is possible to start planning the
features that will be developed in each iteration

- 19 -
Approach for Using SpiraTeam (2)

Now you can create the test plan





This consists of a hierarchical list of test cases organized into
folders. Each test case can have multiple test steps.
Each test case can be mapped to one or more requirements –
this is used to specify the test coverage of the various
requirements.
Any requirements that have no covering tests are a project risk
and additional covering tests should now be written
The tests can be entered by hand or imported from Excel.
Finally you can also map the test cases to the releases to
provide regression testing capability

Approach for Using SpiraTeam (3)

Now you start the iteration planning:

Decompose the requirements into detailed project tasks that can
be prioritized and individually estimated. These estimates can be
then compared against the top-down requirement estimate

Potentially re-assign the requirements and tasks to different
iterations, if there is not enough time/resources to support the
planned functionality

Assign any defects that were raised in the previous
release/iteration into the current iteration for resolution

In some methodologies (Scrum) this is called ‘sprint planning’

Approach for Using SpiraTeam (4)

Now you can schedule the team members and load
balance the task resourcing allocation:




Assign the discrete project tasks and defects to the members of
the development team staffed to the iteration
Create and assign test sets to the various testers. Each test set
contains a group of test cases that need to be executed.
Team members view their individual schedule and task
assignments to determine if they can perform all the tasks
The detailed task schedule is updated by the team members,
with the release/iteration schedule reflecting the updates so that
the management can make changes to the master schedule

Approach for Using SpiraTeam (5)

Real-time status of the progress of the iteration and release is visible
by the management during development and testing:
 The team members update the status and actual effort values for
their assigned test sets, tasks and incidents.
 When tasks and tests are completed, or if exception conditions
occur (late starting tasks, late finishing tasks, overruns, etc.), the
status of the overall iteration and release is updated to give early
indication of needed management intervention
 During the test runs, test failures can be used to automatically
generate new defects that are managed by the incident tracker

Personalized ‘My Page’
Upon login to
SpiraTeam, you are
presented with a
personalized
‘dashboard’ of all your
key information.
This provides a
consolidated view of
all the artifacts that
are of interest to you
with information to let
you know what action
needs to be taken.
RSS Feeds of your
information are
available.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 25 -
Project Home Page
Each project has a dashboard
home-page that summarizes all of
the information regarding the
project into a comprehensive,
easily digestible form.
It provides a “one-stop-shop” for
people interested in
understanding the overall status
and health of the project at a
glance.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 26 -
Project Portfolio Management
Projects in SpiraTeam can be organized into Project Groups that belong to a
common organization, customer or division. This allows you to view a summary
project group dashboard that lets you view the aggregate status of the group as
whole as well as compare the relative health of the different projects in the group:
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 27 -
Requirements Management
You have the ability to create and manage project requirements, user stories
and use cases in a hierarchical organization. Requirements can be
prioritized, estimated and also associated with a specific release. Each
requirement is displayed with its associated test coverage and task progress.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 28 -
Requirements Test Coverage
Each requirement is mapped to one or more test cases that can be used to
validate that the functionality works as expected.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 29 -
Requirements Elaboration (Tasks)
Each requirement can then be decomposed into its low-level assignable
work items called ‘tasks’. Each can be separately estimated to validate the
overall high-level requirement estimate.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 30 -
Test Case Management
SpiraTeam provides the ability to create, edit and delete project test cases
that are stored in a hierarchical folder structure. You can move, copy and
filter the test cases according to a variety of criteria.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 31 -
Manual Test Cases - Editing
Each test case consists of a set of test steps that represent the individual
actions a user must take to complete the test.
You can include other template test cases as steps within your test case.
This allows you to build a library of reusable test components.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 32 -
Manual Test Cases - Execution
You can execute groups of test cases - along with their test steps – so that
the testers can follow the instructions and determine if the system being
tested behaves as expected. Optionally a new incident can be raised in the
system – linked to the test step failure
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 33 -
Automated Testing – Test Scripts
You can attached test automation scripts to test cases in SpiraTeam.
SpiraTeam supports a wide variety of test automation engines (both
commercial and open-source) including Rapise, QTP, Squish, LoadRunner
TestComplete and Selenium.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 34 -
Automated Testing – Test Hosts
The automated test scripts managed in SpiraTeam can be either executed
on the local machine or scheduled for execution on a series of remote
hosts.
Using Inflectra’s RemoteLaunch™ technology, you can manage an entire
global test lab from a central SpiraTeam server, with test sets being
executed using a variety of different automation technologies 24/7.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 35 -
Test Set Organization
To make it easier to assign and track the execution of test cases,
SpiraTeam allows you to optionally group the test cases into test sets that
can be assigned as a ‘package’ to individual testers or automation hosts.
Each test set can be associated with a particular release for testing, and
you can quickly see the execution status of each test set in one
consolidated view.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 36 -
Test Run Tracking
Every time you execute a test case, SpiraTeam records every pass / failure
as well as the associated incidents generated as a ‘Test Run’. These
archived Test Runs can be viewed to determine if changes to the system
have introduced failures to previously working functionality.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 37 -
Release Planning
You have the ability to create a master release schedule containing all the
major milestone releases together with the individual iterations – smaller
releases of the system delivered every 4-6 weeks.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 38 -
Product Backlog Planning
The list of user stories, requirements, defects and features is called the
Product Backlog. SpiraTeam lets you organize the backlog by component,
package or priority. You can order and categorize them by simple drag and
drop editing. This is called backlog grooming.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 39 -
Sprint / Iteration Planning
The requirements (user stories), tasks, test cases and outstanding incidents
(bugs, issues) can be scheduled against the different iterations / sprints in
the release.
The system will calculate the available effort as requirements are added.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 40 -
Kanban & Scrum Agile Planning Boards
The Planning Board allows teams to view the story cards by iteration, status or
person for a given release or iteration. The allows you to manage the number of
backlog items at each stage of the process and also load-balance the members
of the project team.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 41 -
Task Progress Tracking
SpiraTeam provides the ability to track the progress of the tasks in the
system and determine if tasks are suffering from schedule overrun or
misestimation. In addition you can compare actuals for continuous process
improvement.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 42 -
Build Management
SpiraTeam provides the ability to integrate with continuous integration build
servers such as Hudson and CruiseControl so that the status of builds can
be recorded in SpiraTeam and linked to source code revisions, incidents and
test runs. This provides traceability for each build, so that you can see what
was changed in each build, what was tested and what was fixed.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 43 -
Resource Tracking
Once the requirements, tasks and incidents have been scheduled against
the iteration plan, you can use the Resource Tracking screens to view the
total assigned workload for the members of the project and determine the
resource assignments and perform load balancing if necessary.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 44 -
Bug / Issue Tracking
The system provides the ability to create, edit, assign, track, manage and
close incidents (i.e. bugs, issues, risks, defects, enhancements) that are
raised during the testing of the software system under development.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 45 -
Incident Traceability
Unlike a standalone bug tracking tool, you can trace the defects back to the
test case and the underlying requirement that generated them, giving the
project manager unprecedented power in analyzing the “in-process” quality
of a system during its lifecycle.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 46 -
Document Management
All documents and web links uploaded to the system are available in the
integrated document management system. This allows you to organize the
documents into folders, categorize by document types and associate with
meta-tags. Once uploaded, users can search, sort and filter the documents
as well as find dynamically related items through the meta-tag hyperlinks.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 47 -
Document Version Tracking
Once uploaded to the central knowledge repository, revisions to the
documents can be uploaded so that there is complete audit trail of all
changes made to artifacts and associated documentation in the project.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 48 -
Instant Messaging & Collaboration
SpiraTeam includes an integrated instant-messenger that lets users
collaborate and communicate in real-time regardless of geographic location.
The discussions can be codified and tagged against specific artifacts in the
system, so that they become part of the artifact discussion thread.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 49 -
Software Configuration Management (SCM)
SpiraTeam allows you to link your existing software configuration
management (SCM) repositories to a particular project. When this is done,
you can browse the contents of the repository (folders, files and revisions)
directly in the SpiraTeam web interface.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 50 -
Source Code Integration
In addition to being able to view the source code repository, using
SpiraTeam you can link artifacts to specific source code revisions. This
allows you to associate requirements, tasks or defects/incidents with the
corresponding code changes. This provides end-to-end traceability from
requirements to working software code.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 51 -
Attachments & Screenshot Capture
You can upload document attachments and web links to all artifacts
(requirements, test cases, tasks, incidents, etc.) in the system. Each of these
artifacts includes an attachment view that allows users to view the existing
attachments, delete an existing attachment and upload new documents from
their workstation.
In addition, there is a built-in screen capture utility for quickly adding
screenshots to a test execution or incident report
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 52 -
Customizable Reporting Dashboard
SpiraTeam includes an extensive
reports library that can display
information such as Requirements
Traceability, Test Case Execution,
Release Notes, Task Progress and
Incident Status.
SpiraTeam allows you to build a
customized reporting dashboard
featuring your frequently-used graphs,
charts and reports.
The graphs available include:
Requirements Coverage, Test Run

Change History Tracking
All of the changes made to a particular artifact in the system are tracked by
SpiraTeam, so that at any time you can view the complete audit trail of all
the changes made to an artifact, including the date of the change, who made
the change, and what information was changed.
SpiraTeam features full version-control capabilities that allow you to
rollback specific changes and revert the artifact back to a prior revision.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 54 -
Timecard Submission
SpiraTeam includes a built-in timecard entry system that lets developers quickly
and easily enter the time spent each day on their assigned tasks and incidents.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 55 -
Custom Properties
In addition to the built-in fields that are associated with each type of
artifact, you can also define custom properties for each type of
artifact in the system.
The system supports a variety of different field types including: text,
rich-text, dropdown lists, user selectors, and date-fields
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 56 -
Customizable Incident Fields
You can customize each of the fields used in the Incident tracking module to
suit your own business needs - including incident type, status, priority and
severity. You can even associate your own color schemes with the different
priorities and severities.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 57 -
Customizable Workflows & Notifications
Different types of incident,
requirement and task can
follow their own
customized workflow. This
allows you to tailor
SpiraTeam to the
business processes used
by your organization.
Each workflow consists of
a customizable set of
steps and transitions.
In addition each transition
can be used to send email
notifications to the
detector, owner or users
in a certain project group.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 58 -
Artifact Associations
Each artifact can be linked to an unlimited number of other
requirements, incidents and source code revisions, providing
traceability between related artifacts. For example a change request
incident that turns into a new requirement can be associated to
preserve the pedigree of the requirement.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 59 -
Support for Mobile Devices
SpiraTeam provides a mobile web interface that allows users of
smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices to view their dashboard of
assigned test cases and execute their tests using the mobile device.
During test execution, you can attach screenshots to failed tests using the
device’s built-in camera, providing additional context.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 60 -
Email Integration
SpiraTeam has a built-in email notification engine that lets you define
custom email templates and notification events. This enables the system to
send out notifications when specific events occur (e.g. user is assigned a
test case, the priority of a requirement changes, etc.).
In addition, SpiraTeam can connect to your email system and retrieve users’
comments and attach them to the appropriate artifact in the system. It can
also create new incidents directly from emails, saving users’ time.
© Copyright 2006-2014, Inflectra Corporation
- 61 -
Visual Studio & Eclipse IDE Integration
Developers can work on assigned requirements, tasks and incidents directly
inside their Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
SpiraTeam has plug-ins available for both Eclipse and Visual Studio.
Research has shown that allowing developers to use the same tool to
develop their code and manage their workload enhances efficiency and
improves data accuracy.
