1. I used this to do test cases, wherein I got the results with visuals. I explained to clients very well with the visual examples as well. 2. Even I was very new to this tool, it gave me the best company. Even while integrating components as a beginner. 3. Even if I have got any bugs in test cases, it helped me to resolve in a better way. Happy user me! Thanks Aqua ALM.

Alternatives Considered
I use aqua ALM for test cases. It has got the integration with Jira. Best thing is it will surely very well connect the organization in only one hub. I will perform test case, use cases.It has got open-source & many tools in one platform. Aqua ALM will our organization to manage, plan and to execute the use cases incidents in clear manner, it also fetches the reports which we give input. By this, we will also download the FLOW reports, visual diagrams. Happy clients! They appreciated my project.

Micro Focus ALM Octane use at DaVita goes back beyond my starting with them three years ago. They have used it as part of DevOps as well as for performance measurement of software releases in combo with HP Performance Center (a great combination). Jira is well suited to managing bug reports and development processes with Agile and Scrum, but ALM Octane goes above and beyond that.

Return on Investment
  • Once I was working on my project's use case incident, I wanted the result to get in tree view, but I didnt get. Visuals I got, not which is the one I wanted. Anyways I explained the same to clients. so I would highly like the AQUA team to improve this.
  • I really wanted to appreciate that bug reporting in use case incidents. Very good!
  • In one of the projects I wanted to work in the FLOW DIAGRAM VISUAL. I got the excellent result in this. Thank you again :)

  • Our Performance Measurement team uses ALM all the time for test performance measurement in conjunction with HP Performance Center. We could not have such a robust performance capability without ALM.
  • Not being on the management side of it (I am a technical resource for support), I do not have solid information on ROI.
