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

"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"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."
"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"Ability to hierarchically group test cases Ability to reuse test cases (call test from a test) Ability to organise under trees test sets Ability to monitor everything Create a report under everything Ability to configure custom attributes on all modules"
"It was really good, customizable, and easy to use."
"Good test management tool."
"So the first impression that hits me about HP UFT 14.0 (formerly QTP) is that it seems to be a whole lot faster! But that could be subjective, as I'm running it on a high end gaming system."
"I personally found the defect tracking feature very useful in my ongoing project."
"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."
"None that I can think of from my experience, MicroFocus COBOL does everything we need it to do."
"For any company that wants a mature, highly developed platform that is constantly improving and needs to survive audits, you must consider HP ALM solutions such as HP Quality Center."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"We need to move test cases manually from Test Case module to Test Execution module. This consumes more manual interaction."
"Import Library - Synchronization problems are often because the ALM interconnection with HP Solution Manager is too fragile."
"I frankly don't recommend Micro Focus solutions. The support is not good and the documentation is not consistent."
"Its pricing does need to improve."
"The solution is not browser-based, which modern users prefer."
"Tighter integration between ALM and UFT, especially from a reporting perspective, for automation reporting. We currently run into reporting issues."
"HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall. This is the number one issue that we're facing right now, which is why we want to look for another tool. We're a pharmaceutical services company, so we require electronic signatures in a tool, but this functionality isn't available in HP-QC. We don't have 21 CFR, Part 11, electronic signatures, and we need compliant electronic signatures. Some of the ALM tools can toggle between tabular format and document format for requirements, but the same feature is not available in this solution. There is also no concept of base-lining or versioning. It doesn't exist."
"HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."

"It's a perpetual license."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive. The price is approximately £2,000 per person, they are too expensive to corner the market."
"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."
