Udo W.
Last position:
Julius Bär
Application ownership and further development of test user management (TUM)
Areas of responsibility: Application ownership (Application Ownership / ITSO), application management, incident management, deployment / release management, requirements management, prioritization, further development, automation, and interface management
Technologies: SQL Server, Python, GitLab, UC4, Lieberman, Linux
Responsible for the operation and continuous development of a central application for managing more than 5.000 technical test users and their data.
Gathered and assessed business requirements, independently prioritized further development, and planned and coordinated implementation using agile methods and PI Planning, in close collaboration with the relevant business units and IT teams.
Expanded the central SQL Server database with additional information about test and real users, and integrated further applications through defined interfaces. The modular application used Python-based processing components, with execution and workflows controlled through UC4. This enabled data from different source systems to be automatically transferred, processed, and made available, as well as new test users to be created automatically.
Ensured reliable application operations and continuously optimized and automated existing processes.
Application ownership, modernization, and migration of incident management (TRANT)
Areas of responsibility: Application ownership (Application Ownership / ITSO), application management, incident management, deployment / release management, requirements management, software modernization, migration, interface integration, and quality assurance
Technologies: UC4, Jira, SQL Server, Oracle, Java, Python, Lieberman, Linux, Jai
Responsible for the operation and development of an application that automatically records, processes, and forwards technical incidents in various test environments.
Automated the creation of Jira incident tickets when UC4 workflows were blocked, including routing them to the relevant application managers.
Modernized the application by migrating from Java to Python, moving the database from Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle, and replacing the Jenkins scheduler with UC4.
Integrated the Jira API and used the bank's internal AI solution Jai to support code migration and subsequent validation. Independently and critically reviewed AI-generated results for business and technical accuracy.
Shift lead for operations control in test environments
Areas of responsibility: Monitoring various test systems
Technologies: UC4, TSO, HOST, Azure-Cloud
Responsible for monitoring and controlling automated processing workflows in various test environments, including systems running in the Azure-Cloud.
Monitored UC4 and HOST workflows and analyzed and handled incidents. When processing workflows were blocked, Jira tickets were automatically created through TRANT and assigned to the relevant application owners. In coordination with them, affected jobs were restarted or stopped as needed. HOST processes were also monitored and controlled through OPC.
A multi-shift operation was introduced to ensure stable and as continuous as possible testing.
Test data anonymization manager
Areas of responsibility: Planning/anonymizing/publishing production data for test systems
Technologies: UC4, Informatica (PowerCenter and IDMC)
To ensure test environments could run with real data, production databases were cloned regularly. Production data had to be untraceable in test environments. For this reason, the cloned databases were first anonymized with Informatica PowerCenter and later with Informatica IDMC. Critical tables and columns in the various databases (Oracle, SQL-Server, MongoDB) had to be identified and analyzed at the data level. Rules for handling critical data were agreed with the application owners.

About the technology
What the platform does
Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center is an enterprise quality management platform for planning, documenting and controlling software testing. It connects requirements, test design, execution, defects and release reporting in one traceable workflow. Companies use it to create consistent evidence across complex delivery programs.
Core capabilities
The platform supports structured test planning, manual execution, defect handling and quality dashboards. It helps teams link business requirements to test coverage and reported issues, making review and audit work easier. Quality Center is the former name commonly used for the product, while Micro Focus ALM is associated with its broader application lifecycle management capabilities.
Ecosystem and integrations
Strong professionals work across the surrounding toolchain, not only inside the ALM interface. Relevant skills include:
- UFT and other automated testing workflows
- Jira, Azure DevOps and service management integrations
- REST or OTA-based data exchange and custom reporting
- SQL, test data preparation and environment coordination
- Release governance and traceability for regulated systems
When companies need specialists
Freelance expertise is useful when a company is migrating legacy Quality Center data, redesigning a test process or preparing a major release. Specialists can configure project structures, clean test repositories, establish permissions and connect ALM with existing delivery tools. In Switzerland, this work often supports banking, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing and public-sector systems where documented quality controls matter.
Typical project deliverables
A specialist may deliver a practical ALM operating model, reusable test templates and defect workflows that teams can apply consistently. Other assignments include repository rationalisation, integration design, dashboard configuration, test execution support and reporting for release decisions. Clear documentation and knowledge transfer help internal teams continue the process after the engagement.
What distinguishes strong professionals
The best specialists combine product knowledge with an understanding of testing, delivery and business risk. They ask how requirements are approved, how evidence is reviewed and which teams need access before changing the tool structure. They can collaborate remotely or on site in Switzerland, communicate clearly with technical and business stakeholders, and adapt documentation to the working language of the project.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center.
Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center is used to manage requirements, test cases, test runs, defects and release evidence. It gives organizations a controlled way to connect planned coverage with execution results and reported issues.
Quality Center is built around structured quality processes, traceability and formal test governance. Jira and Azure DevOps are broader work management and delivery tools, so companies often integrate them rather than treating one as a complete replacement for the other.
A strong Micro Focus ALM specialist usually understands manual testing, test automation, SQL, API integration and release management. Experience with UFT, Jira, Azure DevOps, reporting and regulated documentation is also valuable when the platform is part of a larger toolchain.
The right level depends on the scope. A repository cleanup may need focused product expertise, while a migration, integration or governance redesign calls for someone who has handled the full Quality Center lifecycle and can guide several stakeholder groups.
Yes. Configuration, reporting, repository analysis and documentation can usually be handled remotely with secure access and clear workshops. On-site collaboration can still help during process discovery, user training or release-critical testing, especially when teams work across language regions.
Micro Focus ALM / Quality Center is common in large organizations that need formal test records and approval trails. Swiss financial services, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing and public-sector programs may use it where system changes require careful evidence and coordination.
Ask for examples of repository design, traceability models, defect workflows and integrations they have delivered. A capable Quality Center professional can explain trade-offs clearly, demonstrate disciplined documentation and show how their setup improves execution without adding unnecessary administration.
Micro Focus ALM repositories often contain linked requirements, test assets, runs, defects, users and custom fields accumulated over many releases. A careful specialist maps those relationships, validates exported data and plans a staged transition so critical history and audit evidence are not lost.
