Visual Studio Test Professional vs k6 Open Source comparison

"The standout feature of k6 is its strong focus on API performance testing."

"The tool's big advantage is that it is more performance-test oriented for experienced testers who know what they are doing. In a normal working setup, performance engineers frequently work with DevOps and development teams. For these teams, k6 Open Source's syntax is much simpler and easier to understand and apply in the working process."

"The stability has always been very good."

"The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."

"One of the best documentation in the world."

"The setup is easy and straightforward."

"Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software."

"The user interface is very friendly."

"The whole suite is made for .NET development."

"The solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft."

"One area where k6 could improve is by introducing a GUI similar to JMeter."

"The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user."

"The Git extensions are very basic and can be more extensive compared to other software focused on Git, like GitTower or SmartGit."

"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."

"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."

"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."

"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."

"I would appreciate some enhancements in the interface, maybe adding more color options."

"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."

"I think that the pricing is quite good."

"There is a paid version of the solution as well as a community version that is free."

"There are two versions of Visual Studio Test Professional: Community and Professional. We are currently using the Community version, but if we start working on a commercial product, we will consider upgrading to the Professional version. We need to identify how we will proceed with our projects, and based on that, we will decide on our licensing."

"I positioned it at a mid-range level. It isn't an inexpensive solution, but considering its capabilities, it represents excellent value for the functionalities it offers."

"Users have to pay a licensing fee for Visual Studio Test Professional."

"We have licensing for Visual Studio Community edition."

"It is a price-effective solution"

"The product is very expensive."
