OpenText Quality Center, previously known as Micro Focus Quality Center and HP Quality Center, is a quality management software solution developed by OpenText, following their acquisition of Micro Focus in 2023. Prior to this, Micro Focus had acquired Hewlett Packard Enterprise's software division in 2017, which included technologies from Mercury Interactive Corporation. This platform delivers comprehensive software quality assurance capabilities such as requirements management, test management, and business process testing tailored for IT and application environments. It serves as a fundamental part of the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management suite.
Product packaging
Quality Center is available in three distinct editions:
- Community
- Express
- Enterprise
The Community and Express editions are aimed at entry-level software quality assurance teams, whereas the Enterprise edition—originally known as Mercury TestDirector—is intended for medium to large-scale software quality teams. For expansive, multinational organizations, OpenText Application Lifecycle Management combines Quality Center’s enterprise-grade tracking with release management and asset sharing functionalities to support requirements management throughout application delivery. Additionally, Quality Center is offered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) option.
System requirements
The desktop client for Quality Center runs on Windows operating systems without needing a web browser. There is also a web client accessible through any standard browser.
OpenText supplies comprehensive and regularly updated documentation on ALM’s server and client system prerequisites to ensure compatibility with new releases and patches.
