Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio Test Professional
It was used to manage manual and automated tests in a software development project using C#, Visual Studio. With Test Professional, the QA team could use a lot of Microsoft test features, without the need for a high-cost Visual Studio Enterprise license for each tester. It allows full integration with the SCRUM artifacts and product backlog management through Microsoft TFS.
- Creation and handling of test plans and test cases.
- Full integration with Microsoft Team Foundation Server, including Agile or Scrum templates.
- Recording and automation of tests in Internet Explorer or Windows desktop environments.
- Test Manager became outdated and can be fully substituted by Microsoft TFS features most of the time.
- It contributes to budget reduction due to the use of less expensive licenses for QA team.
- Using automation it contributes to reducing the time to market and the quality of the outcomes through regression tests.
Visual Studio IDE has a lot of test functions to developers. The Enterprise Version allows installation of full test manager features. It is best if you have a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement. Visual Studio Team System or Microsoft TFS incorporate a lot of test management features in the web solution. Then the only reason to use Test Professional is if you need to record and automate tests.
