Question on: OpenText Application Quality Management

How compatible is this software in integrating it with non micro focus applications?

I want to know with what all the other tools ALM can be integrated.

Show Less

This app originally named as Test director was developed by Mercury over 15 years ago. Then the it was renamed to Quality center and new owner became HP...there were more versions (and license prices of course) of Quality Center and the ALM version (in that time called HP ALM) included the most of the features. Recently the ALM was bought by Micro Focus. So the ALM is still the top and has many non Micro Focus integrations. Example of integrations - JIRA, TFS, Eclipse, Visual Studio, MS Excell and Word add ins, perhaps also with SOAP UI and many others I'm not even aware of. I worked as a solution consultant for this app until 2015...now I use ALM ocasionaly as Test MGMT tool. Hopefuly it helps.

ALM actually integrates with quite some non Micro Focus tools, without additional charge. Below are some examples, though not a complete list: ALM Synchronizer provides Requirement and Defect synchronization between ALM and the following • Atlassian JIRA • IBM Rational ClearQuest (Defects) • IBM Rational RequisitePro (Requirements) • IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) • Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) - includes both TFS on-premise and TFS in the cloud (certified Visual Studio Team Services). ALM integrates with the following via Micro Focus Connect: • VersionOne • ServiceNow • Atlassian JIRA • CA Agile Central • Azure DevOps. ALI enables integrations with Build servers, SCMs, IDEs: SCM – Git, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, TFS; Build Server - Jenkins, TFS, Hudson; Unit Testing – Junit, TestNG, NUnit, Visual Studio Managed Unit Testing Framework; Code Coverage Analysis – Cobertura, NCover, Visual Studio 2012, 2013 Code Coverage; Force.com integration; IDE - Eclipse, Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA; IBM Rational Clearcase. Integrating External Tests: Automation tests executed by Jenkins or other testing frameworks will be integrated into ALM along with the latest test runs - this brings integration with a variety of 3rd party testing tools.

Not sure if you're a contractor for UT.com or not, but we don't use them for this purpose. Our clients are internal stakeholders. I honestly don't really care for their highlight reels anymore as I don't like that interface + they take too long to create. I just add the user clips right in my findings reports for that particular nugget.

Question on: Cypress

How can I influence my lead QA engineer positively to to use Cypress? Cross-browser is a factor.

Cross-browser support is on the roadmap. My lead QA engineer isn't convinced yet to use Cypress as our main e2e tool. I'm hoping to get this implemented as an alternate to his extensive use of automated Selenium testing.
