What TechExcel DevSuite is
TechExcel DevSuite is an application lifecycle management platform for product teams, with customizable workflows for agile or hybrid processes. It includes DevSpec for gathering and tracing requirements, DevTrack for implementation and defect tracking, and DevTest for managing test cases and runs. Links among requirements, design specifications, code files, test cases, and defects provide forward and backward traceability. The Jira integration synchronizes fields and statuses in both directions, supports Jira Cloud and on-premise test management, and can submit defects when tests fail. Listed source control connections include Git, GitHub, Azure DevOps (TFS), Subversion, GitLab, and Helix Core; AWS CodeCommit and Bitbucket are marked as coming soon. Business intelligence integrations include Microsoft Power BI, Board, Domo, and Oracle. TechExcel offers a 30-day hosted or on-premise evaluation customized for a team. DevSuite is available through web, Windows, and self-hosted options. Cloud pricing is $35 per user per month with annual billing; month-to-month costs 20% more. Self-managed options include an annual license and a one-time perpetual license, with maintenance not included in the latter.
