Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio Test Professional

We use Visual Studio Test Professional to interact with Team Foundation Server to:
- Create and manage test plans.
- Create, author, and maintain manual and automated test cases.
- Manage the association of automation for test case artifacts.
- Run exploratory tests.
- Analyze previous manual, automated, or exploratory test runs.
- File rich actionable bugs while executing manual test runs or from automated test runs.
- Create and provide individual or shared lab environments with multiple machines for development or testing with Lab Management.
- Connect to physical or virtual lab environments for development or testing with Lab Management.
- Facilitate structured User Acceptance Testing (UAT) from business users.
- And lots more…
  • The debugger is extremely good.
  • There are many valuable features, including the integration between the management data and the test cases.
  • The unit testing functionality is very helpful.
  • The solution needs more reports and more dashboards, as well as more details for each originated spare test case or best guess in test cases.
  • The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user.
  • The tools for unit testing can be improved, giving a better ability to manage tests.
  • Improved the quality of web and mobile applications up to 20%.
We did not evaluate other options. This solution was released while we were using third-party tools, and once that happened we knew that we had to use it because of the integration.
We have requested a few tickets from technical support, and the feedback is good. The initial setup of this solution is pretty straightforward. Our team is very experienced with Visual Studio, so it took them maybe one week to get everything in order.
