HP ALM vs. SpiraTest

The difficult task of choosing a Test Management Tool, can seem quite daunting. Since there is such an array of software testing solutions, all promising to be the best solution you MUST try, it can become difficult to actually choose correctly.
The best rule of thumb here, is to look for a tool that will best suit your current QA process, something that can adjust to you rather than the other way around.
