Fantastic Agile based SDFC Application

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates OpenText ALM Octane from other similar products?

Used to track all development activities related to application development. Creation of requirements, test cases, test suites, and associated bugs are reported and tracked by business units. The 2-in-1 tool feature can help you save a lot of time and money, log errors, and create stories.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Best UI. Easy access to errors and requirements. Elastic search option to easily find data. The Agile methodologies added there solve the purpose of JIRA and HL APM. I think it's a 2-in-1 tool that can save you a lot of money.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are quite a few tutorials for new installations and configurations. Improve reporting and test execution history.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

A REST API is provided by ALM Octane that you can use to integrate automation tools and upload test results. Its ease of use is the main reason we love this tool, and everything is well organized, making it easy to collaborate with your team and helping you achieve on-time product delivery. Others are the most popular test management tools. Always on the market.

  • Helps Innovate

One of the greatest agile-based SDFC applications

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates OpenText ALM Octane from other similar products?

This application offers a practical method for managing products during their entire lifecycle. ALM Octane has a REST API that can be used with any automation tool to upload test results.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The addition of agile techniques elements makes this a 2-in-1 application that saves a significant amount of money by serving the functions of JIRA and HL APM. Test Director/Quality Center served as the foundation for ALM Octane. Those quality assurance specialists would be relieved to be in a setting they are comfortable with.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's too late and too little, which is more significant. ALM Octane is attempting to emulate the standards Jira and RallyDev established years ago, but what's the use?

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This tool has all feature needed for the Product Development Lifecycle. To give our clients the best value and service possible, we can integrate with all sector leaders. The Consultants answer our questions in a timely manner. The application's user interface (UI) is incredibly responsive and functions effectively on practically any device.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
  • Efficient Service
