Spira Integration with ServiceNow
Many of our customers have been looking for our SpiraTeam application lifecycle management (ALM) suite to integrate with ServiceNow to provide an end to end application and IT lifecycle capability.
Our new integration with ServiceNow will synchronize changes from different ServiceNow tables with Incidents and Requirements in our Spira platform (SpiraTest, SpiraTeam or SpiraPlan):
How Does it Work?
You can select a ServiceNow table to sync with Incidents and another ServiceNow table to sync with Requirements in Spira. To map to different projects in Spira, you will also need to designate a relevant field in each of the ServiceNow tables.
The ServiceNow Data Sync will sync name, status, priority/importance, description, owner, author, and any desired custom fields between the two systems.
New Incidents/Requirements created in Spira will be created in the appropriate ServiceNow table. In addition, new items created in the designated ServiceNow tables will be created in Spira and any changes after that will be synced with its counterpart in Spira.
With our new DataSync for ServiceNow, you can just worry about solving your issue and we’ll handle the rest!
