Effective testing and good data management with seamless Excel integration

There are cases where the system does not meet our reporting requirements. For example, only the first user can click 'run' during testing, and subsequent users have to click 'continue manual run', which can create reporting errors. Improvements are needed so that the system can continue running without creating a new run.

Helped with agile testing, provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities but visibility of test cases could be improved

QMetry has different aspects. It provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities while running tests. It has a recorder integrated. If you run a test on an application, it will record every aspect of it. For example, if you execute a user scenario, it will record what the user does within the application and generate a script. This can also be used for quick automation. Moreover, if we have an automation framework, QMetry can integrate with it. QMetry can also handle load testing in web-based applications. We have integrated it with a bug-tracking system, but not for automation. It was not difficult to integrate it. This integration was mainly for reporting purposes, such as creating reports directly from QMetry.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is beneficial for managing testing data and has integration with Excel, allowing us to download reports easily."

"The setup is pretty straightforward."

"Running automated tests against back-level versions in certain environments is possible, and newer versions can be tested as well."

"The most valuable user feature that we use right now is the camera."

"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."

"It is beneficial for managing testing data and has integration with Excel, allowing us to download reports easily."

"Quality management, project management from a QA perspective - testing, defect management, how testing relates back to requirements."

"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 ALM / Quality Center pros

"The best benefit was for new hires. We used to write our test cases in simple English within QMetry, so anyone who knew English could understand them. This helped with training new hires."

Cons

"When it came to JIRA and Agile adoption, that was not really easy to do with ALM. I tried, but I was not able to do much on that... There is room for improvement in the way it connects to and handles Agile projects."

"The solution needs to offer support for Agile. Currently, ALM only supports Waterfall."

"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."

"Quality Center's UI is outdated, and it's a little bit slow on the login part and different parts of the application. That's why we're switching solutions. I believe most companies are switching to Octane or something else. Micro Focus should enhance the interface and reports."

"I'd like to be able to improve how our QA department uses the tool, by getting better educational resources, documentation to help with competencies for my testers."

"There are cases where the system does not meet our reporting requirements."

"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."

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

More OpenText ALM / Quality Center cons

"For me, the visibility could be improved. When executing a test case, you needed to open it separately to read the steps."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"I feel that the licenses are expensive. "

"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."

"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."

"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."

"It's a perpetual license."

"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive."

"The pricing is expensive nowadays."

"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."
