    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.

    WebLOAD is an imperative tool for our web manager and developers team. We rely heavily on this in our daily activities, mainly to run script testing (in record time) of new code prior to our build releases. This product helps us identify potential gaps and issues with the user flow and allows us to make adjustments and fix problems before they make it into the live production site. Our team also depends on this software to run multiple load testing of each server in preparation for heavy timeframes of the year, such as Cyber Monday, Black Friday, etc. Our team members brought up that they would love to see more scripting examples of how to use WebLOAD, which would make their job easier.

    Cons
    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.

    • The load time of running a testing script can be long at times
    • It would be helpful to have multiple users/ devices to run under one membership

    Usability
    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.

    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.

    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.

    There are many similar comparable products on the market, but with WebLOAD, the price point was reasonable. Their sales and engineering teams and very friendly and helpful and make our implementation a breeze. I would definitely renew our contract and recommend this to anyone out there looking for the best load-testing tool!

    Return on Investment
    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.
