Easy to set up, integrates well with other tools, and maintains traceability in STLC process
There is room for improvement, including the following: * We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow. We would like to see other frequently used widgets like spin boxes, sliders, etc. * The table widget options such as display tables, modify tables, and select rows, should be enhanced. * It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system. This will help to maintain automation scripts, keeping them in synchronization with Conformiq models. * Currently, we don't have an integration with the test data management tool. Having this feature will help for generating and maintaining test data.

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 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."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"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."
"The ability to determine traceability between requirements, tests and defects found in our testing process is a huge advantage in determining the breakdown in the application business model."
"The solution's most valuable features are its bidirectional traceability, the solid structure within the test plan, and the test lab."
"We currently successfully manage all testing projects due to ALM’s invaluable capabilities, which are listed below: Built on best practices with a flexible structure, organization, and documentation for all phases of the application testing process."
"The solution has dozens of excellent features."
"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."
"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."
"They are always ahead of the pack."
"My clients were able to implement an end-to-end process for software testing."
 

Cons

"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"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."
"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"We found some difficulty in working with it, as we're a large organization."
"The UI is terrible in the sense that we actually use automation scripts to avoid being in the UI, which is just fascinating, and then the data model."
"It should have the option to integrate open-source and third-party tools. I'd also like more collaboration options."
"It has a very large footprint, and takes an inordinate amount of time to load the components and seems to need to do this quite frequently."
"More flexible reporting would be good."
"It needs a feature for scheduling of automation scripts to run automatically."
"The UFT tests don't work very well and it seems to depend on things as simple as the screen resolution on a machine that I've moved to."
"HPE ALM’s out-of-the-box reporting can be perceived as rigid and limited, to an extent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us."
"Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive."
"The solution was expensive for us."
"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."
"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."
