Spira v6.11 Released: Diagrams, Flowcharts and Multi-Factor

Multi-Factor Authentication

Security is always a critically important topic, and if you have been following the news recently it seems there is a different cyber attack every week. Having a well-developed cybersecurity program is a must, and as part of that, it is important that multiple layers of defense are employed to prevent a potential cyber-attack or data breach. With the latest update, SpiraTest, SpiraTeam, and SpiraPlan now support Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) also known as 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) as standard. Learn More.

Diagram and Flowchart Editor

Many of our customers use SpiraPlan to design and manage requirements for complex systems and products including aerospace, automotive and industrial systems. Accordingly, a common need is to be able to create requirements and associated documentation that includes diagrams, flowcharts, and mind-maps. The latest version of Spira now includes free, built-in diagram support. Learn More.

Excel365 Importer/Exporter Update

The Excel365 addin supports risks and test sets, and existing artifacts support even more fields. You can now update existing records using the tools. Advanced users can create new comments and test coverage and traceability links right from the spreadsheet. Learn More.
