I second, third, and fourth your comment about HPQC. How can people write such piece of crap still earn that much money!

Here's my rant about it:

Good article.
There is in fact a standalone version of the client - so called QC Explorer, which you can install as an add in.
However it is just IE independend version with the same bugs and for unknown reason even more resource demanding.
Login screen (before logging in) occupies 90 MB RAM. Once logged in it takes 140-150MB and after some time of work it stays at some 200 MB.

@dannyacuna

The first time you install, the progress bars on your client (IE) appear to be stuck, you will have to refresh the browser for the installation to continue

What's your answer to when a new user tries to install the client for the first time, after the list of progress bars finish he gets a message saying that the components were not downloaded successfully due to "Failed to open file for writing"? I'm looking to an alternative to throwing my laptop out of the 10th floor window.

A great tool I worked with in the past is QPack by Orcanos. It manages requirements, testing and defects.

From what I saw in their website - there is a free edition available (for up to 5 users), try it out.

You are Right.. This is big S**king application i have ever come across. I think this application has been made by some School going oversmart kid learning Web services!

@Brenden . This TC creation is uselss. This cant even automate anything properly and to remove an automation from a 20 steps TC, it says 'wooohoo - i wont delete ur script' and atlast ending up deleting the Tc

It is actually working very well on my Linux Workstation connected to Citrix. All I need is to follow/edit/create defects. So I am not using too much advanced features. It just prints a warning message at login: "A call to an OS function failed". Must be the Windows' random crash library because it does not explode too often...

I think this tool is used probably because it has a lot of reporting capabilities (so that managers can track how much WORK is done, how much WORK is remaining, and force us all the more to do more and more WORK) - have just started using it and man it is somewhat annoying.

Nirav, I think you are mistaking Quality Center for an issue tracking system (that's only a feature of it). Most places will not use QC for issue tracking, only TC creation and management. As you said, Bugzilla, Jira are better for that.

2009-07-07T10:13:48.699-04:00

I cannot agree more, and here we have to use it every day. The problem is such tools are generally chosen by non-IT people who will never have to use it afterwards.

And you didn't talk about the INSTALLATION phase, which also makes this "web app" so pleasant...

Using this app is suffering from my sins. God save our kind from HP Quality Center.

2008-11-26T05:11:00.000-05:00

I couldn't agree more! We are currently using this app and you've hit it spot on! Especially the part about thinking that the file is still in use after a crash.
