Application Lifecycle Management and Project Management. An agile software testing and project management tool that makes it easy to manage the application lifecycle development and testing. SpiraTeam provides a complete Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solution that manages the requirements, tests, plans, tasks, bugs and issues in one environment, with complete traceability from inception to completion. With SpiraTeam, one can create and manage the initial high level scope of the project, the features, requirements and user stories. It also provides a complete set of software test management features so that once the requirements have been developed, the technical team can start developing a high level release schedule and the associated test plan. 

Cucumber is a BDD testing tool and Framework. This means that the “tests” (plain text feature descriptions with scenarios) are typically written before anything else and verified by business analysts, domain experts, etc. non technical stakeholders. The production code is then written outside-in, to make the stories pass. Cucumber itself is written in Ruby, but it can be used to “test” code written in Ruby or other languages including but not limited to Java, C# and Python. Cucumber only requires minimal use of Ruby programming and Ruby is easy, so don’t be afraid even if the code you’re developing in is not Ruby.
