Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."It's basically the way to show the work that we do as QA testers, and to have a historical view of those executions."
"You can do your development from start to finish: starting with the requirements, ending with defects, and testing in-between."
"You can plan ahead with all the requirements and the test lab set it up as a library, then go do multiple testing times, recording the default that's in the system."
"Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite."
"The tools could be useful if we were utilizing them more effectively"
"Quality management, project management from a QA perspective - testing, defect management, how testing relates back to requirements."
"The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed."
"ALM Quality Center's best features are the test lab, requirement tab, and report dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"It is nice, but it does have some weaknesses. It's a bit hard to go back and change the requirement tool after setup."
"There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic."
"There's room for improvement on the reporting side of things and the scheduling, in general, is a bit clunky."
"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."
"Currently, what's missing in the solution is the ability for users to see the ongoing scenarios and the status of those scenarios versus the requirements. As for the management tools, they also need to be improved so users can have a better idea of what's going on in just one look, so they can manage testing activities better."
"Quality Center's ability to connect all the different projects to reflect status and progress is quite complicated. We may develop something because there are so many projects. Right now, I have to do something which Quality Center is really not designed for: over reporting. This is a very big problem right now. We may develop some controls, but it is problem at the moment. I love Quality Center for individual projects to work with it. However, if you have a lot of projects for Quality Manager to do cross reporting on many projects, then it's almost impossible. It takes a lot of time."
"It needs Pure-FTPd WebUI and single sign-on."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
