New summary page only worsened my access to database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience with Test Track"
4/5
What do you like best about Perforce ALM?

I like the flexibility of Test Track. I primarily use Test Track to track current/past work items into our code base. Being able to configure many tabs for each project I am working on is very helpful, and virtually anything I could imagine is achievable. This complexity does add to the overall "ease of use" of the product, but it is very powerful in what can be accomplished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perforce ALM?

I find the search functionality quite difficult to use within Test Track. I will admit, Test Track does have quite powerful and configurable searching capabilities, but it is not "quick and easy" as one would expect. I primarily use Test Track to track current/past work items into our code base. A large part of my job is having to look back at past tickets (sometimes up to 5+ years) to see when bugs may or may not have gotten addressed. Without have to go into the advanced search options (which is difficult to use for the average user), the results that are returned tend to be either too many or none at all. It would be nice to see better search logic go into the product, or an easier to understand advanced search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TestTrack is a good tool, with a few annoying bugs."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Perforce ALM?

Test Track is really good at organization tickets, and handling searching / sorting / filtering them. I really like the use of Folder and permanent tabs to keep tickets organized. For example, it's convenient to have a Folder for a large new feature to organize all work that will be done for that, and a permanent tab open that automatically shows me all tickets currently assigned to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perforce ALM?

There are a few annoying bugs and limitations. For example, when using Test Track for the first time after waking my computer up for the day, I always get an error about the connection. It would be nice if it at least TRIED one attempt behind the scenes to reconnect.

Also, the validation that's in place when editing a ticket doesn't allow you to validate that an action can't be performed until AFTER you've entered all the data. It'd be nice to be prompted that the workflow event won't be created BEFORE you're able to enter any data about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
