Likelihood to Recommend I think QAComplete is a great way to organize the literal hundreds of development bugs that are discovered throughout an agile-based project. Teams aren't always able to hotfix items on the fly and this tool provides a great repository and facility for storing and prioritizing those technical debt items that may get overlooked from sprint to sprint. It also let's everyone on the team get a clear understanding for project progress.
Read full review Visual Studio Test Professional is best for .NET and C# based development, which is what 90% of our developers and projects do. It is an integral part of the CI/CD pipeline for our custom made Enterprise resource planning tool. It also works very well with Azure providing seamless integration to way more functionality.
Read full review Pros Allows us to create individual tests then group them into comprehensive test plans. Allows me to specify custom fields that match our product features to categorize both tests and defects. Allows me to create a series of requirements then match tests against them for validation.

Read full review Visual Studio Test Professional when paired with Azure DevOps is the best solution for Test Case Management when compared to other Testing tools we've used in the past. Test Results and Artifacts are always available with full traceablility for audits. Testing and Release Management are tied together as one continuous pipeline. Read full review Cons The user interface can be somewhat perplexing and difficult to navigate at times. Naming conventions aren't always succinct and additional training is needed by those who have more experience using the program. A modern refresh of the UI would help keep the product from looking dated. Read full review 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. Read full review Usability I gave QAComplete this rating because though I do feel that it is a powerful tool, it's definitely not designed for the everyday user. Obviously the target demographic is QA specialists who should be team members that are very technical and methodical in their approaches. However, for the rest of the team, it can often time prove difficult to navigate. Also, the UI is in need of a serious refresh.
Read full review Visual Studio Test Professional's overall usability is extremely high quality. It is extremely functional and like all Microsoft products has a user interface that is well designed and is extremely user friendly. Any functionality which I looked for, I was able to either understand immediately or find a user guide online.
Read full review Support Rating I have not had to work with their customer service directly yet. Our client has been utilizing this tool for years, so I would assume that the support they have received would be good enough to keep them wanting to continue to use the product.

Read full review 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.

Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
