The Top 5 reasons to migrate from HP QC to Validata 360°

The ALM tools from the major software providers like HP QC, are designed to work with traditional structured or waterfall approaches, lacking clear focus on Test Analytics and not being able to support Agile practices and Continuous Delivery.

There are several common challenges between HP QC users that can be summarized as follows:
  • Challenges in Projects with different structures
    • Sharing and copying data between the projects
    • Integration and reporting adjusted to every project
    • Different processes and “testing language”
  • No clear visibility
It is difficult to understand and combine reports from different sources. This applies across the whole organization as the more fragmented the way of using the tool, the less transparency and visibility into the development process and product quality.
  • Lack of data integrity
  • Lack of governance and control
  • Siloed team culture
Teams working in ‘silos’ often feel that there is no support for their activities as no one understands what they really need. Because of the lack in best practices and effective tool usage, application delivery is doomed not to progress as fast as it should. The decisions you make are based on the data you receive across your projects. Therefore, inconsistent data results in reports that can lead to misunderstanding your development and testing effort and bad decisions. When you have testing initiatives spanning across multiple projects it is essential to have standardised values and processes.



The chances are that your experiences by using legacy software tools like HP Quality Center aren’t or weren’t so great, so the move to a next generation tool like Validata360° is essential, and below we list the top reasons why :  
  1. The transition to Agile
Teams using these waterfall or other traditional testing models and tools find that as the product grows, the amount of testing grows exponentially–and QA invariably struggles to keep up. With Agile, testing becomes an integral part of the core software development and actively participates though out the software development process. Validata360° has been developed with Agile and Cloud in mind, with built-in native integrations that allows true, real-time data flows to connect QA and DevOps. It is ideal  for standardizing your Multi - Project Analytics and your Quality Transformation initiatives, supporting agile processes and ‘shift left’ practices.  
  1. Continuous Innovation
Validata360° powers innovation and by transforming the process of innovation, organisations  gain competitive advantage, minimizing costs and improving operational efficiency. It provides a means for establishing coherent, repeatable processes, as well as managing consistent and accurate information across the application lifecycle. Validata has been named among the top 25 DevOps Solutions Transforming Business and among the 20 Leading Software Testing Providers for 2016.  
  1. Access anywhere, anytime
Crucial decisions cannot wait until you reach your computer, and stakeholders should be able to have easy access to the information they need whether they are at their office or on the go. Validata 360° delivers real time dashboards to key stakeholders with QA and DevOps intelligence about release, projects and enterprise wide information. Decision makers can now access the data they need, when they need it, without having to wait on any reports or excel spreadsheets.  
  1. Performance and User Experience
If you fail to deliver on the performance and the user experience of your solution, you will have to face objections from your users and have challenges in getting the solution accepted in the organization.  
  1. Are you still using spreadsheets for your reporting?
When it comes to managing, reporting and documenting Software Testing, spreadsheets can cause more problems than those they solve. Most errors are caused by the manual entry of data and formulas and the lack of data integrity. Validata 360° automatically collects all the data from any tools you use and creates compelling visualizations and actionable dashboards that can be shared with others to stimulate collaboration and visibility across the organization.
