    QMetry, like any new-gen test management tool, works well with any type of development methodologies, be it agile, waterfall or hybrid. It is positioned to be a tool for enterprises of any size. QMetry also provides easy migration of existing test artifacts from a legacy test management tool to QMetry without loss of any information. The one thing that I see as an opportunity for improvement is trying to provide out-of-box integration with all major test automation tools. Another area could be to expand the offering to include it as a product suite with accessibility testing, security testing, performance testing, and test automation which is what the trend is.

    Honestly, it's an all around solution that needs some enhancements. Need to build an app, check! Need to test that app, check! Need to debug that app, check! Visual Studio App Center is a well rounded platform for multiple types of builds and services.

    • Webview support was lacking
    • User management seems a bit disconnected from the standard Microsoft ecosystem. Almost feels like you are managing local users and sharing access more than an enterprise solution
    • Price could be better
    • Buggy on some of the latest versions of windows

    QMetry provides an easy path for migration from the legacy test management tool. The migration utility is free compared to other vendors. We have received great customer support from day one of the engagement starting with POC, implementation, and ongoing support. Overall, pricing and licensing model are affordable and attractive.

    The biggest benefit is in integrations and plug-ins, as well as the fact that it's not open source. I know open source is popular, but we have all been on the downside of open source and waiting for things to be voted up or a contribution to fix an issue. This alone makes VSAC a nice solution! Plus, it comes with a complete IDE integration of services, documentation, and is light weight
