"HP ALM review"

4/5

What do you like best about OpenText Application Quality Management?

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.

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.

"ALM is great all-around testing and project mgmt tool"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Application Quality Management?

There are several advantages to using ALM:

1) manual testing can store screen shots, files, cut and paste data, as well as attached documents.

2) can be used with QTP for automated testing

3) can help define project scope with its requirements repository

4) can store defects and allow assignment to other resources for resolution

5) can be connected with other project testing or project mgmt tools like TFS

6) can use add-in software for customized electronic signatures

7) easy to train for basic use by business to view data, requirements, testing results

8) Report wizards to show graphs and bar charts for multiple objects and statuses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Application Quality Management?

Some of the sections appear very similar and may cause confusion to casual users.

To inexperienced users, the "Cycles" are confused with Testing Cycles so beginners start using the Releases and Cycles definitions as Testing cycles like System Testing and UAT instead of properly using them as Releases (Projects) and Cycles (Phases). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Application Quality Management:

Hire consultants who have used it fully in the past and can guide you to setup all sections correctly and mentor you when starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Application Quality Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ALM for system testing, but we are trying to convince development area to use it for storing unit tests.

Easy to find testing scope when you always link requirements to test cases. Next time you know the requirements affected by a project, you can easily identify all the test cases which cover those requirements.

Report wizard can make it easy to show mgmt the testing status of a given project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
