Product version discussed: 12.52
Makes it easy to go back and execute the same test every time with automation

Pros

"The execution module and the test planning module are definitely the most valuable features. The rest we use for traceability, but those are the two modules that I cannot live without."

Cons

"Browser support needs improvement. Currently, it can only run on IE, Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on Firefox, doesn't work on Chrome, doesn't work on a Mac book. Those are the new technologies where most companies move towards. That's been outstanding for quite a while before it even became Micro Focus tools when it was still HP. Even before HP, that's always been an issue."

Manages multiple releases seamlessly

Pros

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

Cons

"There could be more configurable workflows regarding test case creation approval. "

Provides comprehensive automation capabilities but faces challenges with user interface

Pros

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

Cons

"There are great features, however, transitioning between partners and managing a large number of test cases can be time-consuming."

Product version discussed: 12.54 / 14.0
Range of supported technology expands, but odd IDE design still leave newbies and pro users alike disappointed.

Pros

"So the first impression that hits me about HP UFT 14.0 (formerly QTP) is that it seems to be a whole lot faster! But that could be subjective, as I'm running it on a high end gaming system. "

Cons

"There are always new features and more support for new and legacy technology architectures with each release. But the bad news is a growing list of long-standing issues with the product rarely gets addressed."

Customizable testing solution enhances integration but needs interface improvement

Pros

"OpenText ALM Quality Center is highly customizable."

Cons

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

Helps with our delivery, testing, and quality processing

Pros

"We can get an entire project into a single repository where we can view all the data in detail. This is where we keep all our test cases where everyone can reference them. This provides everyone access to the test cases and artifacts via the cloud. There is no need to contact anyone."

Cons

"The version of Micro Focus ALM that we use only works through Internet Explorer (IE). We have to communicate to everyone that they can only use IE with the solution. This is a big limitation. We should be free to use any type of browser or operating system. We have customers and partners who are unable to log into the system and enter their defects because they work on a different operating system."

Manages test cases effectively and consolidates manual automation and performance features into a single platform, allowing users to access analysis results

Pros

"We were able to manage test cases effectively when we were using it. It worked well for us."

Cons

"The reporting feature could be improved. It would be better if they simplified some things."

We can look at the status and map it to the requirements to see which of them have been completed end-to-end

Pros

"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."

Cons

"ALM only works on Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on any other browser. In my opinion, Internet Explorer is generally a bit slower. I would like to see it work on Chrome or on other browsers."
