About Quality Center 16

You might think you know  Micro Focus ALM/QC, but version 16 continues to evolve and add new functionality. Of course, it is still as accessible and reliable as ever, but it has moved with times. 

QC 16 is a truly modern, integrated solution. It is the best test management tool for traditional software projects.

ALM/Quality Center 16 – 3 Release Highlights:

1. Web Runner Test Authoring

Micro Focus has improved Web Runner. For those new to Web Runner, it allows you to carry out QC operations without downloading the web client. 

You are now able to author tests in Web Runner, as well as the existing test execution and defect management functionality. 

For more information, check out the Micro Focus Web Runner page

2. Enhanced Jira Integration

ALM/QC 16 includes improved Jira integration. Users can now view QC status from within Jira. This includes execution status and assigned resources. 

A direct link to the QC asset is also provided.

For more information, check out the Micro Focus ALM Test Management plugin for Jira page

3. Microsoft Teams Integration

Moving with the times, QC 16 now includes Microsoft Teams integration. You can now choose to be notified of QC events directly in teams as well as the traditional email notification. 

If you’re a Teams user, this should be a more convenient way to stay informed.

ALM/QC is The Test Management Tool For Waterfall Projects

If you’re running traditional/waterfall projects then ALM/Quality Center 16 is the perfect test tool.

Terrified of AI TT

The Software Testers Who Should Be Terrified of AI

The testers who should be terrified of AI are probably not the ones people usually talk about. And it’s not about whether you’re a functional, performance, automation, or security tester, or any other discipline. Those categories are basically irrelevant to your survival in the new world.

Evergreen IT

How to Test Evergreen IT: A Very Short Guide

Evergreen IT sounds simple. Rather than running old systems for years, software is continuously updated. The benefits are obvious: access to new features, no more painful migration projects, better security, and less technical debt.

Agentic Testing

What is Agentic Testing & Why Does it Matter?

Agentic testing is one of those phrases that has started appearing everywhere. There’s an underlying assumption that everyone already knows what agentic workflows are, but many don’t. So what does it mean? And more importantly, does it actually matter right now?

From Chatbots to Platforms: Where AI-Based Testing Is Really Heading

The way most people have been using AI for testing is handy for a quick script stub or some test data ideas, but it’s a long way from an industrialised solution. For most teams, “AI testing” still sounds like a future promise rather than a secure, business-ready solution embedded in how their organisation works. It feels like something happening on the fringes, or more realistically, on a tester’s personal chatbot.

How to Implement AI for Test Data: 10 Considerations

Test data has always been one of the slowest, least glamorous parts of software testing. It is rarely strategic work, but it holds everything up. No matter how good your test plan is, weak data can make the whole exercise unreliable.

Choosing Performance

How to Choose a Performance Testing Tool

If you’re looking for a new performance tool or new to performance testing, it can be a tough subject to get your head around. I’ve been involved in the industry for 3 decades, and during that time, it has evolved massively. Increasingly, I talk to people at companies who’ve never

DevWeb is better than JMeter

5 Ways DevWeb Is Better Than JMeter

JMeter often becomes the default because it looks free. There is no license fee, and it appears flexible enough to do almost anything. But JMeter’s ease is often a myth. In reality, it is rarely the most sensible or low-cost choice.

Testing is Vital

Seriously Though, Five Reasons Testing is Vital

In the last main Testing Times edition (April fools day), I argued, quite ludicrously, that testing is a waste of time. That it slows releases, costs money, and ruins everyone’s fun. Judging by the comments, a few readers took it a bit too literally. So let’s be serious for a minute.
