Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components

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

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"The solution is stable."
"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"Use ALM because it's simple; it has all information you need to communicate with all people involved in a project, whether they are in IT or not IT."
"The most valuable feature is definitely its scalability, as it covers the life cycle end-to-end, from requirements to test execution and defect management."
"The processes of both test execution and test tracking have become more transparent, and we use it for big SAP implementations, which provides ROI after the first project."
"ALM is for sure scalable."
"It saves time, and definitely mitigates risks in having products which are not very well built, to having a product which will perform well and function well once it goes live."
"The independent view of elevated access is good, and the elevated instructions being sent to our SQL is valuable."
"What caused us to switch to this solution was the customizability."
"Most of the features that I like the best are more on the analytics side."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better customer support."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"More tutorials and examples."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The technical support from the vendor is weak, as I believe the back end script support for the tool is not easy to access and modify by the customer."
"The performance could be faster."
"The only thing I would add is that I was really looking forward towards the new generation filler that was coming."
"Graphs can be further improved to manage more requirements at a time."
"It doesn't do Agile very well."
"Sometimes there are small customizations that we'd like that are not always available."
"It can be quite clunky, and it can easily be configured badly, which I've seen in a couple of places."
"Test Lab functionality needs to be changed so you can set test attributes automatically with minimal effort."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."
"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."
"The licensing fee is a little expensive."
"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."
"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive. The price is approximately £2,000 per person, they are too expensive to corner the market."
