Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, OutSystems and others in Rapid Application Development Software."The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It provides visibility on release status and readiness."
"The most valuable Quality Center feature, I find, is the solution's integration with some of our automation tools. For us, the ability to capture and record and the ease of use from a user perspective, are all key."
"Being able to manage tests as this is something very difficult to find in other products."
"It has a good response time."
"The stability is very good."
"It's basically the way to show the work that we do as QA testers, and to have a historical view of those executions."
"Most of the features that I like the best are more on the analytics side."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability and stability of the solution."
"The product is good, it's great, but when compared to other products with the latest methodologies, or when rating it as a software development tool, then I'll have to rate it with a lower score because there's a lot of other great tools where you can interconnect them, use them, scale them, and leverage. It all depends on the cost."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."
"As soon as it's available on-premises we want to move to ALM Octane as it's mainly web based, has the capability to work with major tests, and integrates with Jenkins for continuous integration."
"We have had a poor experience with customer service and support."
"Only Internet Explorer is supported. That is a big problem. They don't support Chrome and Firefox and so on."
"Sometimes I do run my queries from the admin login. However, if I want to reassess all my test cases, then I am still doing this in a manual manner. I write SQL queries, then fire them off. Therefore, a library of those SQL queries would help. If we could have a typical SQL query to change the parameters within test cases, then this is one aspect I can still think that could be included in ALM. Though they would need to be analyzed and used in a very knowledgeable way."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
