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

"You can do your development from start to finish: starting with the requirements, ending with defects, and testing in-between."

"The product can scale."

"It has a good response time."

"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies."

"This solution is open and very easy to integrate. The interface is good too."

"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."

"I love to use this solution with single projects. It has helped our productivity. With the metrics that I receive, I can put them onto the management model so I can see them there. It has reduced our time for project management and controls by 20 percent."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pros

"We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."

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

"The solution is scalable."

"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."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

Cons

"The uploading of test scripts can get a little cumbersome and that is a very sensitive task. They could improve on that a lot. It's really important that this gets better as I'm loading close to a thousand test scripts per cycle."

"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."

"Micro Focus is an expensive tool."

"It is nice, but it does have some weaknesses. It's a bit hard to go back and change the requirement tool after setup."

"Requirements management could be improved as the use is very limited. E.g., they have always stated that, "You can monitor and create requirements," but it has its limitations. That's why companies will choose another requirements management solution and import data from that source system into Quality Center. Micro Focus has also invested in an adapter between Dimensions RM and ALM via Micro Focus Connect. However, I see room for improvements in this rather outdated tool. I feel what Micro Focus did is say, "Our strategy is not to improve these parts within the tool itself, but search for supported integrations within our own tool set." This has not been helpful."

"We cannot rearrange the Grid in the Test Lab. It is in alphabetical order right now. But sometimes a user will want to see, for example, the X column next to the B column. If they came out with that it would be useful for us. They are working on that, as we have raised that request with Micro Focus."

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

"It is pricey."

More OpenText Application Quality Management cons

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

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

"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."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

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

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

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

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing could be improved as it's high-priced. I don't exactly know the pricing point, but previously, I know that it was really high so less people were able to use it for their projects."

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

"It is very expensive as compared to other tools. We didn't get their premier version. It is a lesser version, and to upgrade, there will be an additional cost for us."

"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."

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

"We pay around $30,000 for thirty users, translating to approximately $6,000 to $10,000 per user, which is high."

"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 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)."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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