Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio IDE

Visual Studio IDE is a fully featured software development environment and became the main tool of our IT team, supporting Microsoft .NET Platform development. It is used for creating automation tests with Selenium Webdriver's packages, integrated with Microsoft TFS or not. Its software version control capacities allow developers to work together on different projects from different places with low management.

Pros

  • Support for open source software development languages and tools. We can use the same IDE to develop for non-Microsoft technologies.
  • Hundreds of components to improve development with a lot of technologies, that can be selected and installed individually.
  • Strong WEB documentation and training.
  • Fully integrated with Microsoft Team Foundation Server, running well in SCRUM scenarios.
  • Great software version control and share (checkin/checkout/merge).

Cons

  • Performance is a concern, especially if you use many components installed simultaneously.
  • A large number of functionalities can turn your development environment confused.
  • It speeds up software development.
  • It allows scale and growth of the team without additional management.
It is best suited for using the Microsoft .NET Platform, working in an environment controlled by Microsoft TF, and version control by distributed developers sharing code in the same project.
