Feature-rich stable tool with multiple options to control output, good integration with other tools, and knowledgeable support team
The core functionality of the tool is automated test generation of optimized test suite; the tool has extensive list of options for the same. The product's integration with other tools sets it apart. It has integrations with many upstream (for requirements mapping) and downstream (export of test cases to various tools) products. It is like "plug-and-play". For any customized downstream tool, like our proprietary automation framework, support is provided for custom development. It is has features - Business AD - to use in Agile implementations. The latest version seems to have support for BDD/Gherkin as well, which we have not used much.

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

"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"Conformiq generates a unique and optimized set of test cases, maintains them to the current application version by removing those for obsolete functionality, and, with proper integration to the automation framework, has enabled in-release and in-sprint automation for us."
"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"The execution module and the test planning module are definitely the most valuable features. The rest we use for traceability, but those are the two modules that I cannot live without."
"First of all, the product works."
"The tool has increased the collaboration between different teams."
"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."
"If the company plans to use QTP/UFT then HP QC/ALM is a great option."
"My experience with the solution is that it has been fairly stable."
"The ability to keep test cases and defects centrally located, accessible to multiple people instead of in document format, is the most valuable feature."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"Test Lab functionality needs to be changed so you can set test attributes automatically with minimal effort."
"It’s too expensive for most organizations compared to some other tools on the market."
"One drawback is that ALM only launches with the IE browser. It is not supporting the latest in Chrome... It should be launched for all of the latest browsers."
"I would like to be able to search easier, not just do SQL queries, being able to do free keyword searches on the data. That's valuable."
"There are great features, however, transitioning between partners and managing a large number of test cases can be time-consuming."
"Client-side ActiveX with patch upgrades"
"If somebody's looking for an independent tool for test management, it's good, however, for other areas where you need to get the full integration without investment on other add-ons, this solution won't easily allow this."
"Certainly on the UI part, it has to be improved to make it user-friendly and more presentable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution was expensive 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."
"ALM Quality Center is a little bit costly."
"The solution is priceed high."
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
"Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive."
"It's a perpetual license."
"The licensing fee is a little expensive."
