Answered a question: When evaluating Application Lifecycle Management suites, what aspects do you think are the most important to look for?
SIMPLICITY. So many ALMs are bloated and horrible. Just make sure it has the features you NEED and make do without other "flashy" stuff.

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites
About me
Extensive experience with test architecture, test suite/case management, and test direction for multiple projects. My development experience helps with understanding how to componentize major test efforts into testable units. Led test direction on a 2+ year project at prior company, now the sole test resource in a "Big Data" ETL environment and veterinary practice communications platform (IDEXX Pet Health Network Pro). Extensive Oracle/MySQL query experience in testing.
I am trained as a Scrum Master. 6+ years COBOL development experience. Also helped to architect a home-brewed C# test automation solution leveraging a custom-built XML schema for test case execution and maintenance. Also some experience with the automation tools TestComplete and Ranorex. Currently writing automated tests using Java/TestNG which also leverages UI testing within Saucelabs and Selenium. Very familiar with source control tools such as Git, SVN, etc. Have used Jenkins for build/CI for years.
Specialties: Full QA testing cycle, Agile/Scrum development methodology, JIRA, Confluence, QAComplete, Rally, Test automation, XML, RDBMS testing, Amazon AWS systems, TFS, COBOL, Software development, Systems analysis, Top-tier support lead, UNIX/scripting, HyperV and VMWare Administration, HTML, PC Repair/builds
