Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools.""Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."

More Conformiq Pros →

"Test Execution (Test Lab): This allows us to track our manual tests with date and time and enter actual results and screenshots.""The solution's support team was always there to help.""It's easy to create defects and easy to sync them up with a developer. Immediately, once created, it will trigger an email to the developer and we'll start a conversation with the developer regarding the requirements that have not been matched.""Within Quality Center, you have the dashboard where you can monitor your progress over different entities. You can build your own SQL query segments, and all that data is there in the system, then you can make a dashboard report.""Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is quite stable.""Lab Management is a valuable feature, because you have a 360 view.""The AI and functionality interface are useful.""Defect management is very good."

Cons
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow.""Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have.""It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."

More Conformiq Cons →

"Certain features are lousy. Those features can drag the whole server down. There are times that the complex SQL queries are not easy to do within this solution.""ALM only works on Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on any other browser. In my opinion, Internet Explorer is generally a bit slower. I would like to see it work on Chrome or on other browsers.""The UFT tests don't work very well and it seems to depend on things as simple as the screen resolution on a machine that I've moved to.""Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas""Browser support needs improvement. Currently, it can only run on IE, Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on Firefox, doesn't work on Chrome, doesn't work on a Mac book. Those are the new technologies where most companies move towards. That's been outstanding for quite a while before it even became Micro Focus tools when it was still HP. Even before HP, that's always been an issue.""If they could improve their BPT business components that would be good""There is room for improvement in the scalability and stability of the solution.""The support is not good and the documentation is not consistent."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
  • "If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
  • "For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
  • "The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."
  • "HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
  • "Sure, HP UFT is not free. But consider what you get for that cost: A stable product that is easy to use; the kitchen sink of technology stack support; decades of code (which in many cases actually is free); a version that is a stepping stone to an easier Selenium design; and a support base that is more that just the kindness of strangers."
  • "Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."
  • "I feel that the licenses are expensive. ​"
