This document discusses add-ons available for the Spira application lifecycle management platform. It outlines add-ons that enable integration with tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, and IDEs to synchronize data and code. Additional add-ons are presented that allow for automated testing through RemoteLaunch, exploratory testing with SpiraCapture, load testing, and integrating support with KronoDesk. The key benefits of seamless integration across the development lifecycle are highlighted.

9. Spira and Tool Cloud Hosted
 The Inflectra cloud data-sync service is an add-on to your subscription that
manages the integration entirely cloud-based
 Nothing needs to be installed locally
 We take care of running the integration

10. Spira On-Premise
 The installed version of SpiraTest comes with a built-in Synchronization Windows Service
 It takes care of the synchronization, it just needs to be started
 There are plugins for each tool that you need to download from our website, and put into the
appropriate folder in your SpiraTest installation

11. Spira Cloud-Hosted, Only
 This is a less typical case, where you have a locally installed version of JIRA,
TFS, etc. but SpiraTest is cloud-hosted by Inflectra
 We have a special DesktopDataSync tool that sits inside your firewall, and
connects to SpiraTest and the other tools
