Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. | Ability to customize modules, particularly Defect Tracking module on company specific needs By using QC we broke down silos (of teams), improved the organization of our tests, have a much better view of the testing status, and became much quicker in providing test results with document generation. From reporting to team management, everything is better now. The AI and functionality interface are useful. It has a good response time. It improved productivity and increased levels of internal data security. The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed. This solution is open and very easy to integrate. The interface is good too. |
Cons | |
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. | 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. We would like to have support for agile development. ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach. Certain features are lousy. Those features can drag the whole server down. There are times that the complex SQL queries are not easy to do within this solution. They should focus on giving greater value to the IoT and social networks. There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic. It needs Pure-FTPd WebUI and single sign-on. The QA needs improvement. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive. We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us. It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution. I feel that the licenses are expensive. It has several limitations in adapting its agility easily. |
