"We are able to use Micro Focus ALM Quality Center for test management, defect management, test process, test governance activities, and requirement management. We are able to achieve all of this, the solution is very useful."
"It's basically the way to show the work that we do as QA testers, and to have a historical view of those executions."
"Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite."
"Templates: Allows us to standardize fields, workflows throughout hundreds of HPE ALM projects."
"Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is stable and reliable."
"Improving JMeter's sync time would be beneficial."
"It should start supporting the presentation layer. It currently provides performance testing specifically at the application and API level. It can be extended to the presentation layer, which includes mainly Angular and React frameworks. It should also be easy to use and easy to train people."
"JMeter should be more stable. Every time there is a new release coming up, a lot of its older functionalities or the new functionalities that are brought in are not very well-documented. It should be documented properly, and there should be proper use cases."
"You really need a technical team in order to really utilize the product."
"We're like the solution to be more user-friendly."
"It should be easier to combine multiple scripts. If you have multiple scripts, you need to write a new script to combine those scripts. The virtual user generator is slow."
"Modeling a test is difficult. If you don't have much knowledge, you won't be able to do it easily. Testing APIs is also difficult."
"Apache JMeter may have difficulty recognizing dynamic objects in some critical cases, which can lead to challenges in terms of object identification."
"As soon as it's available on-premises we want to move to ALM Octane as it's mainly web based, has the capability to work with major tests, and integrates with Jenkins for continuous integration."
"Micro Focus is an expensive tool."
"There were multiple modules and stuff to the solution so maybe the requirements can map to test scripts. It can't map to test steps. If you've got a process that's set up and you've got multiple test scripts that are in it, each script has to be linked to the requirement and the whole set can't be. If we're doing process-driven testing, it's more difficult to do it at the script level, which is what we're finding from a traceability perspective."
"ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach."
"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."
"The session timeout time needs to be longer in my opinion."
"It is not a scalable solution."
"There's room for improvement on the reporting side of things and the scheduling, in general, is a bit clunky."
