    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.

    If someone is already using ALM Octane, then it is worth the pain to go through the upgrade process to get the current versions. If you need it to tie into Jira, it can do that. Just be prepared for a rough road. If you have some other product that you use for DevOps, PM, and QA, you will probably be better off sticking with what you have. DaVita also uses TFS, but not in a full implementation (i.e. not with a build server for code deployment), so for them, ALM makes a lot of sense. If you are using TFS with a build server, there are other methodologies that won't end up making you want to pull your hair out trying to make it integrate with what you are using.

    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.

    • 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 :)
