Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, Microsoft, IDERA and others in Test Management Tools."Produces good reports and has a great traceability feature."
"What they do best is test management. That's their strong point."
"The integration with UFT is nice."
"Templates: Allows us to standardize fields, workflows throughout hundreds of HPE ALM projects."
"I personally found the defect tracking feature very useful in my ongoing project."
"By standardizing our template, we publish reports at the business unit level."
"Being able to manage tests as this is something very difficult to find in other products."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies."
"From the project management perspective, the tool is efficiently managing teams by giving management information, such as reports, graphs, velocity, capacity, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the backlog."
"The interface is easy to navigate."
"It is a stable solution."
"We use TFS for forecast management."
"Stability is okay."
"Since it is a robust solution, I face no performance issues. Also, considering how well the implementation process of the solution was carried out, we never faced any issues while using the solution."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"There were multiple modules and stuff to the solution so maybe the requirements can map to test scripts. It can't map to test steps. If you've got a process that's set up and you've got multiple test scripts that are in it, each script has to be linked to the requirement and the whole set can't be. If we're doing process-driven testing, it's more difficult to do it at the script level, which is what we're finding from a traceability perspective."
"ALM requires that you install client side components. If your organization does not allow admin rights on your local machine, this means you will need someone to run the installation for you with admin rights. This client side install is also limited to Internet Explorer and does not support any other browsers."
"They should specify every protocol or process with labels or names."
"Client-side ActiveX with patch upgrades"
"ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes."
"It is pricey."
"The uploading of test scripts can get a little cumbersome and that is a very sensitive task. They could improve on that a lot. It's really important that this gets better as I'm loading close to a thousand test scripts per cycle."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center should improve the reports. Reporting on tax execution progress against the plan. However, they might have improved over two years since I have used the solution."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
"The price could be cheaper."
"As an end-user, I expect the solution's performance to be faster while staying as stable as possible."
"Since the TFS was an on-prem solution, the private network accessibility was restricted."
"We encounter issues with backups."
"They should have design patterns in TFS for the development team, and design patterns for the QA."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
