Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."What's most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is that it's useful for these activities: test designing, test planning, and test execution."
"I like the traceability, especially between requirements, testing, and defects."
"I found the ease of use most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center. Creating test cases is easier because the solution allows writing in Excel."
"It allows us to easily make linkage and dependencies, with plenty of integrations."
"The enhanced dashboards capabilities are useful for senior management to view the progress of releases under the portfolio in one go and also drill down to the graphs."
"I love to use this solution with single projects. It has helped our productivity. With the metrics that I receive, I can put them onto the management model so I can see them there. It has reduced our time for project management and controls by 20 percent."
"It provides visibility on release status and readiness."
"Integration with other HPE products."
"We have Performance Center as a platform to share with others that don't do performance testing full-time, so that they in an agile fashion, on demand can go ahead and get real issue-finding testing done."
"The tool's most valuable features are scripting, correlations, and parameterization. Debugging is also easy."
"We haven't had an outage since we started using the solution."
"We have a centralized delivery team and we are able to meet enterprise requirements, which include different types of protocols that are involved, including scripting. The technology supports that and enables us to have a wider range of testing. Enterprise-level testing is something that we are satisfied with."
"I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself."
"This product is better oriented to large, enterprise-oriented organizations."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's best feature is the detailed reporting structure."
"The solution does support a wide range of technologies and protocols. Plus, two features, network virtualization, and service virtualization, are really helpful. Apart from that, the way they have their billing scenarios, like the execution, is very good."
"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"We cannot rearrange the Grid in the Test Lab. It is in alphabetical order right now. But sometimes a user will want to see, for example, the X column next to the B column. If they came out with that it would be useful for us. They are working on that, as we have raised that request with Micro Focus."
"We are looking for more automation capabilities."
"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."
"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 integration could be improved because with Agile technology you are working more quickly than with a top-down methodology."
"I'd like to be able to improve how our QA department uses the tool, by getting better educational resources, documentation to help with competencies for my testers."
"The process of upgrading LoadRunner can be difficult and time-consuming."
"Dashboard creation should be implemented, so we can get the results in a desired format."
"OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise needs to improve reporting."
"New features have been added in latest version and need to be improved with the DevOps integration."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and by including autocorrelation capability."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"The debugging feature needs to include graphs."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
