We performed a comparison between Inflectra SpiraTest and OpenText ALM / Quality Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed."
"Inflectra SpiraTest has a lot of functionality, which is good."
"The reporting functionality helps vendors and technical resources identify bugs and issues that need to be addressed. The simple dashboard-style home page makes training end-user testers simple and straightforward. The actual testing UI is VERY straightforward and very intuitive for the end-users that test the system since very often we pull from business and operational users to help test new systems."
"We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing."
"The ability to reuse test cases already used across projects is the most valuable feature of this solution. We don't need to create new ones."
"I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it."
"The user-friendly features are the most valuable. For example, migration of requirements and migration of test cases and the creation of traceability. You have various reports that you need. The plug-ins that are available to connect with the other tools."
"The tools could be useful if we were utilizing them more effectively"
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies."
"The most valuable user feature that we use right now is the camera."
"The AI and functionality interface are useful."
"As a system administrator, HPE ALM can be flexibly configured so that it can accommodate a variety of defined project lifecycles and test methodologies."
"It has a good response time."
"The integration with UFT is nice."
"Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite."
"The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly."
"Being able to add scripting for testing can and does save a lot of time. When you are able to just ‘run’ a test case rather than manually add it and run it."
"Migrating is not very easy. It depends on the organization, how efficient and effective the decision-making process is. The plug-ins should be easier and more integrated rather than the user trying to integrate the tools which are more popular, like Jira et al."
"The UI for managing test cases, test sets, test runs could be a little more integrated, currently, these feel disjointed at times and confusing. Also, the test steps page needs to display the test steps closer to the top of the UI so as to not have to scroll down to find."
"It should develop integration with JIRA. We have some complexities which caused us not to decide to integrate it with our JIRA, like synchronous data."
"Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive."
"The folder organization in Inflectra SpiraTest could be better, though I cannot comment whether that is structure-related. Most of what I need would probably be in the tool, but as a test manager, I need to be able to create dashboards and reports easily."
"The downside is that the Quality Center's only been available on Windows for years, but not on Mac."
"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."
"It needs Pure-FTPd WebUI and single sign-on."
"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."
"ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach."
"There's room for improvement on the reporting side of things and the scheduling, in general, is a bit clunky."
"Browser support needs improvement. Currently, it can only run on IE, Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on Firefox, doesn't work on Chrome, doesn't work on a Mac book. Those are the new technologies where most companies move towards. That's been outstanding for quite a while before it even became Micro Focus tools when it was still HP. Even before HP, that's always been an issue."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
