Customer and technical support are highly rated (9/10). It's cheaper than competitors, but I only wish for better marketing.
QA Expert at a tech company with 51-200 employees4.0I find the product flexible and good for organizing releases and test cases. However, my main concern is its automation integration, as a single script failure can incorrectly mark multiple requirements as failed.

Decent tool, needs additional integration with automation tool

Valuable Features:


Pretty flexible, able to handle different approaches to testing and software lifecycle


Room for Improvement:


Not fully integrated with their automation test tool.


Other Advice:


From a testing standpoint, ignoring license and cost issues, it's not a bad product. You can use it to organize releases, maintain test cases, and provide management with some decent tools. My concern is with Automation integration. While requirement tracking works fine if you have one automated script per requirement, once you create scripts that cover multiple requirements, any failure in the script updates all requirements as failed instead of giving you the option of only failing those requirements that individually failed. I have an open ticket with HP about this. I was looking at OPA, but couldn't find a viable solution. Other than that, I think QC is pretty decent.
