Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio Test Professional
We use visual studio test professional in conjunction with Team Foundation Server to complete our development process. It helps us keep an efficient workflow and links to and from work items in Team Foundation Server. Without it, testing developments in our products would be difficult.
- Friendly web interface - we find the web interface to be a good focal point for our testing.
- Links to work items - Test professional links nicely to Team Foundation Server meaning we can generate a test from a work item, and a work item (bug/feature request) from a test.
- Flexible - the option to use the desktop application over the web interface is useful for some management operations.
- The web interface, while very comprehensive, just can't get close to the desktop test manager when it comes to managing the tests. It would be nice for the desktop client and web interface to match up functionality wise.
- A direct link to Team Foundation Server work items would be useful, currently you can't have a dashboard showing test work item summarys and development work item summarys. For us, this means that we can't compare active development items with active tests on the same screen
- It's helped bring our development process all under one product suite. Prior to test professional we had to switch between different products for development and testing.

Test Professional is a much more rounded product by nature of its integration with Team Foundation Server. Much lower administrative effort required as only one system needs to be hosted.
