Overall Satisfaction with Visual Studio Test Professional

We used it to streamline our testing for the .net framework and our Ansible roles molecule testing. It efficiently executed those and even helped us track potential bugs. Most of its use in our organization is for testing workflows and integration with Azure DevOps to align them with development cycles, organizing workflows in one place.

Pros

  • One of the best things is that it supports both manual and automated testing.
  • Along with the execution of tests, the tester can even view whether their tests pass or fail.
  • Multiple testers or developers can collaborate with each other through shared dashboards, allowing them to stay on track.

Cons

  • Although it is good for .net Windows-based apps, its support for mobile applications is minimal.
  • Most organizations today don't use Azure DevOps, which is flexible. Support with GitHub action would help.
  • Lags when performing on heavy projects and hangs a lot.
  • Our release went positively this month; it wiped out around 20% percent of issues if compared to the last release.
  • The reusable test cases increased our bandwidth for work and reduced the testing time, due to which our deliverables were on time.
  • The licensing fee for 10 members is 12,000 usd , which is way higher and underutilised.
It is overall perfect, but its cost and limited capabilities make it an average software. Also, the documentation is pretty dense for the new users as they may require proper knowledge training; otherwise, it is a good tool for faster test execution, team collaboration across multiple teams if working on the same projects, and flexibility to support manual and automated testing.
When using Azure Devops, it only has a basic test plan while using the extension, and it is better suited if you only use Azure Devops, but VS test professional provides comprehended test execution and management as most of the developers and testers use Visual Studio to develop their apps and publish their builds.

Do you think Visual Studio Test Professional delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Visual Studio Test Professional's feature set?

Yes

Did Visual Studio Test Professional live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Visual Studio Test Professional go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Visual Studio Test Professional again?

Yes

It would be well suited if we used it with Azure DevOps as we can effortlessly integrate the test cases and even stories or tasks to stay on track with our work. Those test cases can even be reused across multiple projects. Using any other third-party tools, such as Jira, can be less appropriate, as it's not a Microsoft tool, and its capabilities will be limited.
