Better Application Lifecycle Management tool in the market

Pros

It is a fairly easy to use application management tool available in the market which has features to track the status of a defect.

Cons

It would be better if we have an ability to create diagrams especially when we are dealing with complex defect created by Tester.

A sophisticated tool for project deliverables

Pros

This software has a wide variety of features available for tracking and maintaining the entire software development cycle. My experience has mostly been related to the testing cycles, the tool provides users the ability to keep track of the testing scenarios being performed and then reporting any detected defects. The users can also attach the evidences associated to the defects for the development team to access.

Cons

The only thin that I did not like about this product is the filters available. Instead of providing the plain check-boxes for the user to select filters, this tool provides functions like AND, OR, NOT to append the filters. That is the only feature that I find a little awkward to use.

Quality center is still going strong

Implemented it in 3 major organization, easy to learn is my major experience. An introduction to new users just take 20 min and then they are fully self going. Worked some other systems where filter seems to be very complicated to implement in an easy way, non filters as good as QC. Compared to JAMA ....

Pros

-All features other ALM tool manufacturers claim is actually working better in QC -Simplicity of using , you know where you are what you filter how you find thing through traces -More advanced testplanning than all other tool (maybe except codebeamer) - Easy adminstration - easy to search and present during audits. - remarkable possibilities with risk management IF some people just let their confusing ideas start from 0 again

Cons

Interface on Explorer Not entirely web based Feelgood appearance (Looks old)

Most used Project management tool in IT industry

I strongly recommend for Large scale projects It is very useful for time management, tasks , tracking, reporting everything is good

Pros

In ALM , I like features and integration with other softwares like HP UFT, Tosca and Loadrunner softwares Easy to track project tasks Backlogs Log defects Can schedule to run automation scripts

Cons

It's little expensive compared to other tools

Can’t export attachments with test cases 4. High cost per user 5. If ALM is closed and if you reopen the same test it shows object locked 6. No support to update defect from excel. Except automation API
