AI features and automation save time and enhance test quality
Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually. It can integrate with different applications and is user-friendly. One notable AI feature is the self-healing capability, which automatically corrects failed scripts, solving problems in less than five minutes and improving the quality of code.

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

"I noticed that only the enterprise version has integration with GitHub."
"Katalon Test Ops has AI features that speed up the process by automating tasks that would otherwise be done manually."
"It's more user-friendly as a solution."
"As long as procedures are clear, then anyone can execute the tests."
"If you want an end to end testing lifecycle product, I think HP is the winner."
"It gives me the ease of putting together the requirements, test cases, the release test schedules, and executing the test."
"One of the things that we've found with the HPE suite is that the interoperability is hands-down second to none."
"The primary HP QC modules, requirements, test plan, test lab, and defect management have become, over time, foundation stones in our project teams development methodology."
"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."
"Customization is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The execution module of Katalon Test Ops may need some improvement, especially when running a high volume of test scripts."
"The free version is limited."
"There are stability troubles. My area does not have a good connection. That's why sometimes I face issues."
"Quality Center's UI is outdated, and it's a little bit slow on the login part and different parts of the application. That's why we're switching solutions. I believe most companies are switching to Octane or something else. Micro Focus should enhance the interface and reports."
"The Web UI and the Administration Page need to improve."
"Bridge to JIRA and Tableau."
"Is not very user-friendly."
"It is very pricey. To be fair, it is geared for enterprise use."
"It has a very large footprint, and takes an inordinate amount of time to load the components and seems to need to do this quite frequently."
"In future releases I'd like to see better reporting, a more simplified UI, and improved metrics."
"The downside is that the Quality Center's only been available on Windows for years, but not on Mac."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
"The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."
"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"The solution was expensive for us."
"I've never been in the procurement process for it. I don't think it is cheap. Some of the features can be quite expensive."
"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"This is an expensive solution."
