Exceptional traceability; brilliant information sharing
What do you like best about the product?
When your team adopts JAMA, the entire process of generating, reviewing and verifying against specifications becomes engaging and rewarding.
JAMA enables conversations and reviews to occur within the context of the specifications themselves which allows anyone the capability to come up to speed on the history and justification of a specification quickly.
The traceability model in JAMA is exceptionally powerful, providing detailed impact analyses with minimal effort. As a systems architect, the value this creates is phenomenal.

What do you dislike about the product?
JAMA, like all tools, is only as good as your use of it. Our team has struggled in the past and it was only through dedicated effort that we have been able to realise the benefits of JAMA.
The training material for JAMA, as well as their pre- and post-sales support are fantastic but the "check it out and tinker" experience (as most software engineers prefer) is not so great. JAMA suffers a little from the "blank slate" problem whereby a new, empty project can be a daunting prospect.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've specifically used JAMA to provide a traceability model from customer requirements, through use cases and system-level requirements down to indivudal subsystem and software unit acceptance criteria. From these specifications, Test Cases were derived and their statuses captured within JAMA.
The benefits, once we embraced the power of JAMA, were immense - being able to track the impact of changes through the entire system, including already executed tests, was phenomenal. This information allowed us to be proactive and lean, armed with the confidence that we were spending our time and money on the right things.

You should spend the time and money to understand the benefits of changing your workflow to integrate the use of JAMA as well as customizing JAMA to suit your needs.
Review.
What do you like best about the product?
Mostly i like that as user you can quick navigate through the project tree. Also u can easy create Test Plans and run them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Export TC in Excel is very bad. Also u can't share link for the particular TC. Actually you can but its to complicate and u need to explain how to do that. You need each time to refresh the page to see that something was edited. Difficult to understand hot to leave comment and how to see that somebody left it for you. No integration with Jira.

Effective Requirements Tracking and Verification Testing Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Jama provides a mechanism for linking together everything from inputs to verification execution. Documents can be generated from the information captured in Jama. Executing tests in Jama makes it easy to track progress and gather metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
The features of Jama are somewhat constrained by the implementation. For our purposes, the information must be exported to documents, and the constructs Jama allows don't always make it easy to reference different sections of Jama (aside from links directly back to Jama). The export functionality only allows spreadsheet exports to be of a pre-defined format.
The export overwrites the content control content. For example, if you set the Title content control in the template, the exported document will not have any text in the Title content control.
The test plans/runs features can be tricky to grasp. Additionally, the mechanisms allow tests to be updated, overwriting any existing test run even if it has data.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary use for Jama is requirements tracking. We also use it for verification execution. The relationships feature allows us to trace requirements to tests and generate coverage reports easily.
Full of Potential
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed the fluidity and completeness of the package from the requirements management all the way to the test plans. The customizability of the front page helps us display useful stats to the team and the generation of reports also assists greatly to generate documents of large sizes which are required by the standards we adhere to in our industry. If they fix some of the irritating quirks, I truly believe Jama can reach its full potential as a go-to solution for requirements management and testing for product design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, the Jama software also comes with many quirks which - if you're extremely unlucky Can set a project back. There were several problems we found related to the locks Jama put on test runs, which following certain sequences could allow other testers to potentially overwrite an test run's results, causing data to be lost. Some of Jama's strengths also highlight its weaknesses. For example, the customizability only extends to certain features, while the others remain rigid and unmalleable. One example of this is the fact that the test results/test runs do not have a link to the requirements, but rather to the test case. This adds an additional layer of referencing which can end up being very tedious if the test cases and the results have already been turned into hard-copy reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We specialize in designing and manufacturing products for our customers. Jama helps us streamline the process all the way from the customer and project head who decide upon requirements, down to the testers who run the tests, providing a good amount of visibility at all levels.
Requirements made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Modern interface and logical flow to requirements tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not very intuitive to get a template set up to export your requirements into a report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a product realization company, so we help our customers conceptualize, design, develop, test, and manufacture products. Jama has been a big step to help us wrap our arms around projects that have tons of requirements.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't try to use it in the middle of a project / program. It is best used from the beginning rather than forcing its use half way through your development.

Jama Software is working to help those of us in the regulated fields by working towards publishing their test cases and test results. Upgrades take us a while as we need to produce the evidence for each version upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracebility between use cases, requirements and test cases is critical to our work. Jama Software makes the tracebility easy and we are able to quickly produce reports showing these links.
