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.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"ALM Quality Center is a reliable, consolidated product."

"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."

"I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions."

"It's basically the way to show the work that we do as QA testers, and to have a historical view of those executions."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"We can create a requirement for stability metrics with the test cases to ensure all requirements are covered."

"Reporting was the main thing because, at my level, I was looking for a picture of exactly what the coverage was, which areas were tested, and where the gaps were. The reporting also allowed me to see test planning and test cases across the landscape."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pros

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The solution is scalable."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the scalability and stability of the solution."

"We would like to have support for agile development."

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

"The extract format is not ideal, splitting expected results into three line items, making interpretation difficult."

"ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach."

"An area for improvement in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is not being able to update the Excel sheet where I wrote the test cases. Whenever I update some test cases, I'm unsuccessful because there is overlapping data or missing cases from the sheet."

"Costing is an area that needs improvement."

"The session timeout time needs to be longer in my opinion."

More OpenText Application Quality Management cons

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."

"The pricing is expensive nowadays."

"I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it is pricey. When we talked to the sales reps we work with from our company, they say, "Well, Micro Focus will never lose on price." So, they are willing to do a lot of negotiating if it is required."

"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."

"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 full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."

"The solution is priceed high."

"Most vendors offer the same pricing, though some vendors offer a cheaper price for their cloud/SaaS solution versus their on-premise. However, cloud/SaaS solutions result in a loss of freedom. E.g., if you want to make a change, most of the time it needs to be validated by the vendor, then you're being charged an addition fee. Sometimes, even if you are rejected, you are charged because it's a risk to the entire environment."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pricing and cost advice

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
