Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful.""The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"Having the links maintained within the tool is a huge boon to reporting requirements, tests, and defects.""The integration with UFT is nice.""The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed.""The AI and functionality interface are useful.""Test Execution (Test Lab): This allows us to track our manual tests with date and time and enter actual results and screenshots.""You can maintain your test cases and requirements. You can also log the defects in it and make the traceability metrics out of it. There are all sorts of things you can do in this. It is not that complex to use. In terms of user experience, it is very simple to adopt. It is a good product.""Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution.""Integration with other HPE products."

Cons
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio.""The reporting needs to be improved."

More CucumberStudio Cons →

"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.""Micro Focus ALM Quality Center could improve its marketing. For example, Tricentis is much better at letting the market know about new solutions and updates. The migration of the tool could improve, but it can be difficult.""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.""The session timeout time needs to be longer in my opinion.""There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic.""Micro Focus is an expensive tool.""Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas""The BPT also known as Business Process Testing can sometimes be very time intensive and sometimes might not be very intuitive to someone who is not familiar with BPT."

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. ​"
