Is TFS an ALM?
TFS is a Microsoft tool that we should use to implement ALM, while as mention before it’s a part of Visual Studio Team System .
What are ALM products?
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is the specification, design, development and testing of a software application. ALM covers the entire lifecycle from the idea conception, through to the development, testing, deployment, support and ultimately retirement of systems.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of QC and TFS?
We’re looking to implement Quality Center (QC) or TFS as the test manager and potentially across the department as our Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). What are your recommendations and why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of QC and TFS? Does Quick Test Pro or Selenium integrate with TFS and/or QC?
Which is better Microsoft Test Manager or TFS?
TFS has great API support (and HPQC is pretty good), so as long as you are prepared to roll up your sleeves and write code, you will be able to make them integrate. That said, Microsoft Test Manager is (in my view) more geared to manual testing although it can be used to manage automation.
What are the benefits of using TFS and MTM?
If you go with TFS and MTM, you’ll have the benefit of cross-linking your developer code checkins through to test plans authored in MTM (which adds a lot of traceability) and developers will be able to link test items to specific code routines that exercise them (which is particularly handy for unit tests).
What is the difference between hpqc and TFS?
Both HPQC and TFS use per seat licensing, and you will have to pay double. TFS is a true ALM solution that includes source control, developer work item tracking, build support and everything that the developers need to do their jobs, and in the later versions added testing in their Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) products.
