Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio Test Professional
Visual Studio Test Professional is used by our R&D and Dev teams for running rigorous tests on our in-house software. We have very unique business needs because we develop a lot of custom software and custom tools to manage that software. With VS Test Pro we are not limited on the scope and scale of innovation we can embark on. It fits perfectly with the C# and .NET environment most of our developers prefer. The automation that Visual Studio Test Pro provides the much needed scalability to run our unit testing.
Pros
- Availability of the desktop client or the web interface. The web interface being the favorite and providing a better experience.
- It enables you to write unit tests with so much ease.
- Allows the recording and repeating of manual tests
- It can be set up for collaboration.
Cons
- The price is a bit out of reach of many.
- The learning curve is quite steep. It needs a lot of foundational knowledge to grasp.
- Can be quite hardware-resource intensive.
- We were able to achieve faster time to market with new features and feature updates.
- The subscription offered us so much more in perks like Azure Dev/test credits for developing and testing in the cloud.
- Visual Studio Test Pro provided us a unified dev/test environment for consistency and efficiency unlike using several unrelated tools.
Visual Studio Test Pro is well ahead of the competition due to its integrations and consolidation of tools and capabilities in one place. It offers the entire life cycle capabilities for development, testing, and deployment. The cloud offering with Azure integration makes it extensible and taps into the efficiencies of cloud services. The fact that it's a Microsoft product means it's simply a robust product with possibility of continuous improvement.
