User Testimonials
	QA Sphere	Visual Studio Test Professional
Likelihood to Recommend	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft It would be well suited if we used it with Azure DevOps as we can effortlessly integrate the test cases and even stories or tasks to stay on track with our work. Those test cases can even be reused across multiple projects. Using any other third-party tools, such as Jira, can be less appropriate, as it's not a Microsoft tool, and its capabilities will be limited. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft Availability of the desktop client or the web interface. The web interface being the favorite and providing a better experience. It enables you to write unit tests with so much ease. Allows the recording and repeating of manual tests It can be set up for collaboration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft The user community of the Visual Studio Test product is weak. For instant problems with this product, it is necessary to quickly reach the source of the error. Licence fees need to be more reasonable. License prices need to be reduced so that they can easily compete with free testing tools. Incentivized zahit bogus Business Intelligence Consultant Read full review
Usability	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft It is very usable if you are familiar with Visual Studio to begin with. If you are new to the interface, it can be a long ramp up period for Testers not used to the GUI. There is always the web option which seems to be more intuitive for many Testers.

Support Rating	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft Visual Studio Test Professional is backed up by the full support of the Microsoft Corporation. That means twenty-four/seven customer support by quality, highly-trained professionals who understand every possible issue that you have experienced before. They are nice, efficient, and highly professional. I recommend them. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft The visual Studio Test tool is faster than other tools. Since the development and testing processes are in one tool, it is more profitable in terms of cost. It is more inconvenient to write a test case in DevOps. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Hypersequent DMCC No answers on this topic	Microsoft One of the positive ROIs of Visual Studios is the fact that it makes producing our work at a quick rate, things like Intellisense make our work get produced at a much higher rate which is good for our return of investment. Testing by the developers has increased by 23%, we now take the time to actually test our product before we send it to our QA people. I am not aware of any negative ROI aspects to our company that have been found. Incentivized AL Alexandria Lunderman Software Engineer Read full review
