Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."The solution is very user-friendly."
"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."
"ALM is a well-known product and is one of the pioneers in providing test management facilities with a 360 degree view of requirements."
"It's easy to create defects and easy to sync them up with a developer. Immediately, once created, it will trigger an email to the developer and we'll start a conversation with the developer regarding the requirements that have not been matched."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not too hard to deploy."
"The best thing is that you can see your current status in real time... To see real-time updates, you just log in to ALM and you can see exactly what the progress is. You can also see if the plan for the day is being executed properly, and it's all tracked. From the management side, I find those features very valuable."
"What they do best is test management. That's their strong point."
"Defect management is very good."
"We are satisfied with the support of Tricentis."
"As a codeless automation tool, the product offers a user-friendly experience without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Users can easily handle various applications, including web applications, SAP applications, Windows applications, and even Salesforce applications, without manual coding."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"We have multiple applications, and it supports parallel execution. It has mobile automation."
"It has helped teams within our organization become more aware of the testing requirements in terms of risk and priority."
"Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time."
"Tosca BI is important to make sure that our data integrity is in check and validated; to make sure our data is good. Our data is the number-one important driver for our company, so if that's not good, we have some big problems."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient plug-ins."
"It is not a scalable solution."
"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."
"It needs Pure-FTPd WebUI and single sign-on."
"We have had a poor experience with customer service and support."
"HPE ALM’s out-of-the-box reporting can be perceived as rigid and limited, to an extent."
"It is nice, but it does have some weaknesses. It's a bit hard to go back and change the requirement tool after setup."
"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."
"The integration with mobile testing could be useful."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"It can be quite expensive."
"I would like to see more implementation of AI on the self-healing aspect. That would be like the next step."
"The UI does not have the option of automating the scroll bars."
"The user management could improve in Tricentis Tosca because it is confusing. It would be better to have it in one place. Having to add it to the cloud and to a specific project can be a mess."
"The reporting function was lacking in usability and detail."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
"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."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
