Overall Satisfaction with Azure Test Plans

We were using spreadsheets to track our manual test cases; we migrate from spreadsheets to this test management tool and then help us to keep control of how many manual test cases we automate. The interface is friendly and has integration with Visual Studio 2022, we were able to tie from end to end our development workflow, from the user stories to the release of those user stories. Technologies utilized were: NuGet, SpecFlow, and Selenium. For our manual tester, it was a really great experience to utilize to start as an automation QA, code using Gherkin structure: Given, When, then It has great integration with Azure boards, pipelines, and releases if you are using Microsoft Azure definitely worth to try it for your project.
  • Integration with Azure Boards
  • Integration with Visual Studio 2022
  • Automation using Pipelines and releases
  • Real time dashboards
  • Integration with code repositories
  • More documentation
  • Provide some examples using SpecFlow
  • Reduce test execution time
  • Improve visibility through its dashboard
  • Increase software quality
Since we were using Azure DevOps, Test Plans were built-in on the Azure ecosystem the same that we were using to reduce the adoption time and we don't have to install an external tool for this purpose.

Well suited:
This works well for a C# project in a Microsoft environment. To manage manual test cases and control how many of those manual test cases need to be automated.

Less appropriate:
If you are using JAVA and using Jira, you will need to look for plugins for Jira to accomplish the same.
