Senior Operation Engineer at Vodafone

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.

Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology

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:

"The most valuable user feature that we use right now is the camera."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

Cons

"Return on investment isn't something I often contemplate. I have not seen many business cases around it."

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

"The initial setup was not straightforward."

"Defect ageing reports need to be included as built-in."

"There are great features, however, transitioning between partners and managing a large number of test cases can be time-consuming."

"It is not a scalable solution."

"Is not very user-friendly."

"The version of Micro Focus ALM that we use only works through Internet Explorer (IE). We have to communicate to everyone that they can only use IE with the solution. This is a big limitation. We should be free to use any type of browser or operating system. We have customers and partners who are unable to log into the system and enter their defects because they work on a different operating system."

More OpenText Application Quality Management cons

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

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"I would like to see better dashboards."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

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

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

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

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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)."

"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive. The price is approximately £2,000 per person, they are too expensive to corner the market."

"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."

"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."

"The solution is priceed high."

"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it is pricey. When we talked to the sales reps we work with from our company, they say, "Well, Micro Focus will never lose on price." So, they are willing to do a lot of negotiating if it is required."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

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