SpiraTest vs. TestRail
Choosing a Test Case Management tool is not a simple task. The truth is that there is not one tool that is objectively better. You should choose the tool that fits your own QA process best. So, the key is knowing what features you need, and then finding out which of solutions available matches your requirements.
SpiraTest vs. TestRail At a Glance
Both SpiraTest and TestRail have basic test case management capabilities.
The main difference between these two platforms is that TestRail relies on 3rd party integrations for requirements and issues management as it doesn’t have these modules at all while SpiraTest has Requirements and Issues management modules.
Both tools do not have compliance and security certifications such as SOC2 Type2, which might be an issue for enterprise organizations.

“We evaluated several different test management platforms and chose PractiTest as our company standard. We are now consolidating our various test management systems into PractiTest.”
– Arthur Meloy, VP Site Reliability Engineering at NCR
