Overall Satisfaction with HP Application Lifecycle Management

In my current organization, HP ALM is being used across the whole organization based on various worldwide locations.It is a mandatory tool for all kind of QA management activities. It also serves as one of the key methods of compliance. All testing activities has to be logged in ALM starting from Requirement analysis to execution of Test Cases and then Bug/Defect closure.
  • Requirement analysis as a stepping stone of Test Case creation.
  • Test Case creation to execution and corresponding logging and artifacts uploading.
  • Defect/Bug management.
  • Complete Test Cycle/Management coverage.
  • Should have features that will help organization to implement new methods of Software lifecycle like Agile or DevOps.
  • Features of Risk Based Testing should be more enhanced.
  • Should of built-in features of version management.
  • Enables and compels users to use this tool for all kind of QA activities, thus providing a global mechanism for Testing.
  • Complete coverage of Test Cycle.
  • Excellent Test execution and Defect tracking coverage.
  • No such negative impact. Only thing is, there has not been too much enhancement. It is more or less having the same old features.Not much innovation found over the years.
HP ALM has always been the best tool in the industry for QA management. Thoroughly trusted and used by the top-notch organization through the industry.
The USP is the total coverage of Test Cycle which other tools lack.
If you are looking for a tool that will cover all the facets of Test management, go for it.
If you are using UFT or QTP as the Automation testing tool, go for HP ALM as integration is easy.
If you are tight on budget and/or running fast cycles through Agile, you might consider JIRA.
