We performed a comparison between Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer, IBM Rational DOORS, and Parasoft Development Testing Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Atlassian, Siemens and others in Application Requirements Management."Integration with automation is one of the reasons we started to consider moving to this tool from our original tool for implementing test modeling. ARD appears to have better integration with Selenium. It also has the ability to record scripts/flows using Selenium Builder and import them into ARD, which will then create and optimize a model based on that."
"The support that we get from Broadcom is great."
"I like the way Broadcom ARD inserts test cases in execution mode. Also, ARD can be used apart from Broadcom TDM. It's an add-on through which you supply data through ARD test cases when there is a need for extra data."
"The modeling is a game-changer."
"CA ARD has some beautiful features which I haven't found anywhere else. For example, when designing or creating our test cases and doing scenarios, we are able to restrict our flows. If we take a data link between two processes, we can actually restrict it, so that, in production, if our functionality breaks down, we can restrict that and all the flows related to it will be removed from the test data set."
"Helps the communication between the testing organization and the requirements group. It helps us to simplify the work. Instead of dealing with individual test cases, you're working with a model."
"It helped us to move from manual testing to automation testing."
"In terms of meeting business challenges, it helped to shorten the dev/testing cycle by identifying requirements gaps early in the process, by having models shared within the development team. It helped increase test coverage and reduce the number of issues experienced by clients/customers."
"IBM Rational DOORS keeps everything organized."
"I like the way we can simply link requirements with one another and with test descriptions and then automatically produce reports that are required to show compliance to our customers. It is a combination of requirements management and reporting that I like, but I really have very little to do with the reporting part of it. I don't know how easy or hard it is to create those reports."
"This product can help improve how your organization proceeds through solution development."
"I like being able to sort and categorize the requirements and the exporting functions."
"The program is very stable."
"The traceability matrix in DOORS improved our project outcomes. It helps ensure coverage of requirements at different levels, from user requirements to software requirements to test requirements."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to enter data into one table, or context, and link it across modules."
"It is a mature product that is stable."
"The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"CA ARD doesn't provide integration with Tosca. The possibility of creating a test case and exporting it into Tosca is not available. Integration with end-to-end automation tools, like Worksoft or Tosca, is not provided by CA ARD as of now."
"Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer could improve the UI. Other solutions have a much better UI. The new UI should have a new modern framework."
"Data flexibility is something which I would like to see, along with more integration with App Test."
"Needs improvement in aligning models so they look clear and readable without having to move boxes around."
"Integration with Agile management tools can be improved, i.e., mainly test case maintenance and linking test cases to the automation script."
"The solution could improve security and authentication."
"The solution could be more user-friendly. For example, attachments could be icon-based to make it easier for the user to notice them."
"At present, there is no option for test data parameters from ARD for virtual databases. We have to create them in TDM and push them as well. Virtual database connectivity needs to be improved. They need to come up with some areas where they can create synthetic data parameters easily from the test cases that have been designed."
"It would have been ok ten years ago, but we are used to having better tools now."
"It used to be very clunky."
"IBM should integrate some solutions they already own toenhance the utility of the product further. Specifically import and export to Office products is more difficult than it needs to be."
"Overall, the user experience should be enhanced."
"The performance could be improved. It doesn't run as smoothly as it could."
"The low performance of the solution is probably because it is quite an old tool."
"It's difficult to set the code on the solution."
"The customer must also have the tool to import the changes and accept them as a part of the review."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
