I like that this program gives you one step at a time to complete with checks along the way. As you complete your testing, it also allows you to add pictures/proof of your testing throughout the steps rather than having to leave the program to use another screenshot app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Application Quality Management? It is not intuitive and can even be difficult for myself to use as an active user. Employees that I need to help me in a tight squeeze are unable to easily jump in and assist in the effort as gaining access is difficult and the understanding/training on the program is lengthy. Aside from the training taking a while to understand and complete, I still find myself in times of confusion as it is not intuitive. A new issue I recently ran into was being able to reopen attachments from steps within a test case after the fact. I needed to refer to a number within a screenshot in an earlier test case for a following test case and was unable to open the attachment leading me to have to complete the testing yet again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Application Quality Management: As I have not used another system prior to this one for testing and documentation purposes, I do not have the best basis to make a decision off of. Though, I would recommend that if a business decided to adopt HP ALM to have more IT literate employees assigned to this program as i is not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Application Quality Management solving and how is that benefiting you? I use this program for testing of various financial systems and expense reporting system out of SAP. I utilize the program for routine testing of various SAP systems that I manage as well as for global projects. I do not tend to use this program for bug fixes rather strictly testing. We do not use any program/system really for bug testing as they tend to be quicker tests that don't necessitate documentation. I have realized benefits of global testing and documentation of such testing. I tend to test my SAP systems quarterly as well as when we bring on new company codes to support in our finance shared service center. This program gives us a standard system to turn to for all global partners on the project including IT and Bussiness representation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
