"Great way to track defects for multiple projects!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Application Quality Management?

As an Quality Center (ALM) Admin, this tool is very easy to use and provide access to new users joining a company. The best feature of Quality Center is the ease of assigning users specific roles with read/write permissions and assigning them to only the projects they require access to. This allows them to insert bugs and for the entire team to track those defects- allowing developers to fix them at their convenience and simply changing the status of the bug to indicate it has been fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Application Quality Management?

Migrating from Quality Center to ALM was a huge pain for my team and I. At first, we discovered a tool called ALM Robot that would do the job on it's own, until we realized the entire repository was not transferred over. This became frustrating as we had to migrate over 50 projects to ALM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
