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.
