A practical detailed discussion on Test Management using Quality Center / ALM
Duration : 6 months Classes : 36 Days : Weekdays / Weekends
In large-scale software projects, managing requirements, test cases, and defects across teams and releases can be complex. HP Micro Focus ALM (formerly HP ALM) is a powerful platform that streamlines the entire application lifecycle - from planning and development to testing and deployment. Our HP Micro Focus ALM Training is designed to help QA professionals, test managers, and business analysts gain hands-on expertise in using ALM to drive quality, traceability, and collaboration across the SDLC.
This training dives deep into ALM's core modules including Requirements, Test Plan, Test Lab, and Defects. You'll learn how to create and manage test assets, link requirements to test cases, execute manual and automated tests, and track defects with full traceability. The course also covers integration with automation tools like UFT, version control systems, and reporting dashboards to help teams make informed decisions and maintain compliance in regulated environments.
By the end of the program, you'll be equipped to use ALM confidently in enterprise settings, improve testing efficiency, and enhance visibility across QA activities. Whether you're aiming to boost your career in test management or streamline your organization's quality processes, this training provides the practical skills and strategic insight to succeed in complex, multi-team environments.

Fabulous NLP + ML course
I have eleven plus years of experience taking training courses. I do not usually complete surveys.
Your instructor was excellent, the best I've experienced on a software subject, and I couldn't imagine him doing a better job of seamlessly walking students through a breadth of information for such complex subject like AI and ML. he did a fabulous job pacing everything and addressing student questions. I am very impressed.
