Service provider recognizes effective project tracking and reporting capabilities

Regarding integration with various development tools, I can provide examples, and I am using customizable dashboards in OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, which definitely help identify project bottlenecks. As for the scalability of OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, there are limitations, particularly in agile methodologies, which is currently my main concern.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is a very good test management tool especially for writing test cases and uploading. You can even upload the test cycles from Excel. You get the defects and the reports, and also some automation using EFT which works with ALM."

"We can get an entire project into a single repository where we can view all the data in detail. This is where we keep all our test cases where everyone can reference them. This provides everyone access to the test cases and artifacts via the cloud. There is no need to contact anyone."

"It is stable and reliable."

"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."

"Templates: Allows us to standardize fields, workflows throughout hundreds of HPE ALM projects."

"The independent view of elevated access is good."

"Within Quality Center, you have the dashboard where you can monitor your progress over different entities. You can build your own SQL query segments, and all that data is there in the system, then you can make a dashboard report."

"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."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pros

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"The solution is scalable."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

Cons

"They should specify every protocol or process with labels or names."

"There were multiple modules and stuff to the solution so maybe the requirements can map to test scripts. It can't map to test steps. If you've got a process that's set up and you've got multiple test scripts that are in it, each script has to be linked to the requirement and the whole set can't be. If we're doing process-driven testing, it's more difficult to do it at the script level, which is what we're finding from a traceability perspective."

"The solution is not browser-based, which modern users prefer."

"The UI is very dated. Most applications these days have a light UI that can be accessed by pretty much any browser; QC still uses a UI which has a look almost the same for the past 20 years."

"ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes."

"There's room for improvement on the reporting side of things and the scheduling, in general, is a bit clunky."

"There could be more configurable workflows regarding test case creation approval."

"It is not a scalable solution."

More OpenText Application Quality Management cons

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."

"The solution was expensive for us."

"Compared to the market, the price is high."

"Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive."

"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."

"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."

"We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us."

"Sure, HP UFT is not free. But consider what you get for that cost: A stable product that is easy to use; the kitchen sink of technology stack support; decades of code (which in many cases actually is free); a version that is a stepping stone to an easier Selenium design; and a support base that is more that just the kindness of strangers."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pricing and cost advice

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
