Michael Rosens
Last position:
Project Manager at Payone GmbH (Worldline AG)
- Goal/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. So far, PAYONE has no overall master data strategy. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.
The organization is to be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Creating the foundation for master data management at PAYONE
- Challenge: Due to acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is very dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, so resource bottlenecks and changes in project priorities are again and again almost impossible to handle.
Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The first focus is on migrating all customers from the master-data-leading backend systems with their AML/KYC data to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the corresponding ODD/EDD processes.
In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Previous migrations led in some cases to duplicate customer records. In the end, only one customer should be maintained in Salesforce and, with the corresponding information from the backend systems, it should also be possible to recognize which products and in which processing systems the customer uses Payone services.

Integration: 8 (subsystems/interfaces)

About the technology
Test management
Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center is used to organize testing work across requirements, test cases, runs, and defects. It helps quality teams keep traceability clear when many specialists touch the same release. Many companies still search for it as ALM, Quality Center, or by the older HP ALM name.
Core work
- Build structured test plans and test sets
- Link requirements to coverage and execution
- Track defects from discovery to closure
- Support manual and automated test evidence
- Prepare release-ready quality reports
Strong professionals know how to model the lifecycle so teams can see what is covered, what failed, and what still needs attention.
Ecosystem fit
The tool often sits inside larger enterprise QA stacks with automation frameworks, CI pipelines, and test data processes. Skilled specialists understand how to connect ALM/Quality Center with browser-based testing, API checks, and regression suites without losing auditability. They also know when to keep work inside the tool and when to integrate surrounding systems.
When to bring help
Companies bring in freelance expertise when a rollout needs structure fast, a legacy instance needs cleanup, or a project must recover from messy test data and inconsistent defect logs. It is also common during upgrades, migration from older ALM setups, and audits where traceability matters. In regulated teams, clear evidence and disciplined workflows are often the main need.
What good specialists do
- Clean up requirements, folders, and permissions
- Standardize naming, status flows, and defect fields
- Improve reporting for test progress and risk
- Document processes for testers and business users
- Train teams on consistent daily use
The strongest professionals do more than configure screens. They shape a process that teams will actually follow.
Delivery context
ALM / Quality Center work often supports banking, insurance, telecom, manufacturing, and other environments with formal release control. Remote collaboration works well for setup, reporting, and process work, while on-site sessions can help with workshops and stakeholder alignment. In Germany, teams often expect clear documentation and careful handover.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center is used to manage test assets, execution, and defects in one place. Companies rely on it when they need traceability from requirements through test runs to release decisions. It is especially useful where quality evidence must be easy to review later.
Quality Center is commonly used to refer to the test management side of the ALM product family. In practice, teams may use ALM, ALM/Quality Center, or the older HP ALM name when talking about the same environment. The exact setup can vary by version and company process.
Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center is usually stronger when a company needs formal traceability, controlled workflows, and structured testing records. Jira is often used for broader issue tracking, but it is not the same as a dedicated test management setup. Many teams use both, with ALM handling quality records and Jira handling delivery work.
A strong Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center specialist usually understands test design, defect workflows, and release reporting. Useful adjacent skills include UFT, CI integration, Excel-based data handling, and process documentation. For enterprise teams, knowledge of audits and controlled change management is also valuable.
A Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center project can need only light support if the goal is simple administration or cleanup. More complex work, such as migration, workflow redesign, or integration with automation, needs someone who has handled real enterprise setups before. The key is not time alone, but experience with similar processes.
Yes, much of the Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center work can be done remotely. Setup, configuration, reporting, and process improvement are all well suited to remote collaboration. On-site time can still help when teams need workshops, access reviews, or stakeholder training.
A good Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center specialist explains how they will structure requirements, tests, and defects before they touch the tool. Look for clear examples of traceability, reporting logic, and cleanup work in complex environments. Strong candidates also document decisions so teams can keep using the setup after handover.
Companies usually look for ALM support when test work has become inconsistent, slow, or hard to audit. Common signs are duplicate defects, unclear coverage, broken workflows, or a setup that no one fully owns. A specialist can restore structure without forcing the team to start over.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center in their recent projects is 103 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 821 € based on an 8-hour working day.
