Technical Architect at Hexaware Technologies Limited
Easy to set up, integrates well with other tools, and maintains traceability in STLC process
There is room for improvement, including the following: * We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow. We would like to see other frequently used widgets like spin boxes, sliders, etc. * The table widget options such as display tables, modify tables, and select rows, should be enhanced. * It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system. This will help to maintain automation scripts, keeping them in synchronization with Conformiq models. * Currently, we don't have an integration with the test data management tool. Having this feature will help for generating and maintaining test data.

Manages multiple releases seamlessly
We have done some work with companies, probably four or five years ago and found the ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously as a main advantage, especially in complex programs with multiple concurrent releases. Running automated tests against back-level versions in certain environments is possible, and newer versions can be tested as well. It creates constant visibility into the test process, showing the status, bugs, and automated test results. It is a solid product in large corporations in Denmark, ensuring everyone knows where the process stands. There is a good understanding of what is critical, allowing prioritization of test cases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"Conformiq generates a unique and optimized set of test cases, maintains them to the current application version by removing those for obsolete functionality, and, with proper integration to the automation framework, has enabled in-release and in-sprint automation for us."
"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"I love linking/associating the requirements to a test case. That's where I get to know my requirement coverage, which helps a lot at a practical level. So, we use the traceability and visibility features a lot. This helps us to understand if there are any requirements not linked to any test case, thus not getting tested at all. That missing link is always very visible, which helps us to create our requirement traceability matrix and maintain it in a dynamic way. Even with changing requirements, we can keep on changing or updating the tool."
"The user interface is fully web-capable; it's a website, and it runs on a browser."
"The wide range of supported current and legacy web technologies, desktop apps, and WebServices testing is by far the most valuable feature."
"In the case of the software development company, the use of HPE QC helped us to become compliant with GAMP and ISO requirements."
"The best thing is that you can see your current status in real time... To see real-time updates, you just log in to ALM and you can see exactly what the progress is. You can also see if the plan for the day is being executed properly, and it's all tracked. From the management side, I find those features very valuable."
"It has enterprise-grade stability and we never have any issues with it."
"The most beneficial feature of test management in this solution is its ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously."
"The most valuable features of OpenText ALM include its integration with the automation landscape, the ability to capture requirements and map them to test cases, and the capability to schedule runs through ALM."
 

Cons

"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"Graphs can be further improved to manage more requirements at a time."
"Bridge to JIRA and Tableau."
"I'd like to see the concept of teams put into it."
"I'd like to see the idea of users being flushed out more, so not just, "This defect is now assigned to a particular person," or "This person is assigned to execute a test.""
"Tighter integration between ALM and UFT, especially from a reporting perspective, for automation reporting. We currently run into reporting issues."
"Defect ageing reports need to be included as built-in."
"Customer Service: Fair. It takes at least 2 days for support people to respond to ticket."
"It is very pricey. To be fair, it is geared for enterprise use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's a perpetual license."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"It all comes down to how many people are going to access the tool. When teams go above 20, I think ALM is a better tool to use from a collaboration and streamlining perspective."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive."
"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."
"For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
