Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, Microsoft, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."Test Execution (Test Lab): This allows us to track our manual tests with date and time and enter actual results and screenshots."
"This solution is open and very easy to integrate. The interface is good too."
"What they do best is test management. That's their strong point."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
"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."
"Quality management, project management from a QA perspective - testing, defect management, how testing relates back to requirements."
"The product can scale."
"The best thing is that you can see your current status in real time... To see real-time updates, you just log in to ALM and you can see exactly what the progress is. You can also see if the plan for the day is being executed properly, and it's all tracked. From the management side, I find those features very valuable."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"It is a stable solution."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"This solution enables us to link all items usefully, in the way we use Agile."
"The most valuable features of TFS are bug reporting and its high performance."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"The solution is very much stable."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
"Is not very user-friendly."
"Certain applications within this solution are not really compatible with certain applications like ERP. The problem is when we're trying to use these applications or devices, the solution itself doesn't scale."
"It is nice, but it does have some weaknesses. It's a bit hard to go back and change the requirement tool after setup."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall. This is the number one issue that we're facing right now, which is why we want to look for another tool. We're a pharmaceutical services company, so we require electronic signatures in a tool, but this functionality isn't available in HP-QC. We don't have 21 CFR, Part 11, electronic signatures, and we need compliant electronic signatures. Some of the ALM tools can toggle between tabular format and document format for requirements, but the same feature is not available in this solution. There is also no concept of base-lining or versioning. It doesn't exist."
"We would like to have support for agile development."
"Micro Focus is an expensive tool."
"I would rate it a 10 if it had the template functionality on the web side, had better interfaces between other applications, so that we didn't have dual data entry or have to set up our own migrations."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"It has been really dated. When you start to work more in an agile environment, it is not really that flexible. They tried to replicate the look and feel of Jira, but it is not quite there. It was nice to use in the past, but it is not as flexible now with the changing development environments and methodologies."
"TFS needs to be stable."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"There's not automatic access to test case management and execution."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
"The dashboard needs more enhancements."
