"The adaptability of the Scrum and Kanban boards for other uses, with careful use of the customization features."
"The features that we find most valuable are the Workflow, Scrum workflow, and Dashboards."
"All of the tracking features are the most valuable because it allows me to see where we stand today and every day."
"It is a good defect tracking tool. It has a lot of capabilities and functionalities. There are a lot of graphs and a lot of tracking. It can be sprint-driven if you want."
"Jira's collaborative features, such as comments, notifications, and real-time updates, facilitate better communication."
"The informatics is the most valuable feature. It captures what we need."
"Jira is easy to use and there are a lot of tools that are integrated with it."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"ALM is a well-known product and is one of the pioneers in providing test management facilities with a 360 degree view of requirements."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"What they do best is test management. That's their strong point."
"The integration with UFT is nice."
"The most valuable Quality Center feature, I find, is the solution's integration with some of our automation tools. For us, the ability to capture and record and the ease of use from a user perspective, are all key."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
"It is a tool, and it works. It has got good linkage and good traceability between the test cases and the defects. It has got lots of features for testing."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"I think that there is some ease of use that could be brought in to improve certain things."
"Workflows can be improved. We don't use workflows because we can't handle that much complexity. Its interface could be more intuitive for workflows."
"Ease of administration and customization. It is really clunky in this area."
"For a non-technical person to use, Jira is not intuitive."
"Lacks field-level permission in the cloud version."
"The reports in Jira can be improved, especially for test reports. I find it difficult to customize and integrate for different testing purposes."
"it would be helpful to have a better tutorial for learning and to have a better understanding of what the features are and what they do."
"There's been the odd amount of JIRA downtime (not self hosted) and sometimes tickets that can't be accessed."
"They should specify every protocol or process with labels or names."
"If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great."
"There's room for improvement on the reporting side of things and the scheduling, in general, is a bit clunky."
"Micro Focus is an expensive tool."
"We operate in Sweden, and there are not so many Swedish people that know the product."
"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."
"There's room for improvement in the requirements traceability with Micro Focus ALM Quality Center. That could use an uplift."
"Sometimes I do run my queries from the admin login. However, if I want to reassess all my test cases, then I am still doing this in a manual manner. I write SQL queries, then fire them off. Therefore, a library of those SQL queries would help. If we could have a typical SQL query to change the parameters within test cases, then this is one aspect I can still think that could be included in ALM. Though they would need to be analyzed and used in a very knowledgeable way."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
