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.

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

"The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed."
"For me and for our organization, it's a really good product; I'm really happy with it and it meets my needs completely."
"Having used the tool before, I like the use of parameters, being able to do exports and reports of the data for monitoring of executions, and the defect management as well. I feel satisfaction in that area."
"Test management for multiple products, risk-based testing, requirements mapping, and reporting."
"If you want a good tool that is robust and is very user-friendly and capable of supporting a program with multiple streams or multiple workstreams, ALM would be the perfect tool."
"The solution has dozens of excellent features."
"Using Quality Center as one tool helped us to track just one tool from beginning to end."
"If the company plans to use QTP/UFT then HP QC/ALM is a great option."
"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

"My personal satisfaction level with HP service and support website is low."
"We need to move test cases manually from Test Case module to Test Execution module. This consumes more manual interaction."
"ALM is quite heavy to use because of the process. Everybody needs to do the same process at the same time, and that’s quite heavy."
"If they could improve their BPT business components that would be good"
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"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."
"Test Lab functionality needs to be changed so you can set test attributes automatically with minimal effort."
"When a particular version of Quality Center has reached end of life, the customer is forced to upgrade to the newer version to be eligible to get technical support."
"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

"The solution is priceed high."
"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."
"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
"I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
"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 has several limitations in adapting its agility easily."
"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."
"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."
