Visual Studio Test Professional Reviews

We used this product for developing an automation tool for workflow operations, and for customizing activities in the automation process. This included sending emails, searching or extracting data from work applications, and using OCR technology. I'm a full-stack technical leader and we were customers of Visual Studio.  

Customization is the most powerful feature of this product because you can mold and design to your requirements. It's possible, for example, to build an OCR test from PDF or work files or build your own component based on OCR provisions and obtain the data required to process. If you extract a bill you can get the identification of the vendor or IT of the product, its quantity, value, unit, and additional information. Test Professional has the advantage of being able to integrate with any kind of third-party service which is very useful for the programming phase. It also has the ability to integrate without programming or the need for developing any APIs or services to integrate with robots. A regular user can do it.

We found the documentation to be limited and we had problems with the vendor who delivered it which added to the complexity. I'd like to see improvement in the dashboard which currently lacks visibility regarding the working process of the solutions.

I used this solution for three years, up until a couple of months ago when I moved to a different company. 

The solution is generally stable although it depends on the third-party systems, which in the case of the AS-100 system or APIs, there may be some risk to stability. 

The solution is scalable, whether it's adding an additional server, working with two users and two robots, or switching to another user account if you're not using the total server capacity. 

Microsoft provides great support.

We had previously used other solutions such as UI pod, Blue Prism and Bucket Bot. Visual Studio proved to be the most cost-effective for our needs. 

The initial setup was relatively easy. Deployment time really depends on the complexity of the project but we were able to implement in-house. If you have Windows knowledge and net experience, you can deploy without too many problems. Without that, implementation would be more complicated. We had five people involved in the deployment and 10 users involved in development and analysis. 

We had a good return on our investment in terms of the efficiency the solution provided. 

The licensing costs are reasonable in comparison to other solutions. One license costs close to $1,300. With five people programming on one license, the cost is around $6,000 per year. With other vendors, that expense could reach $50,000. The server and obviously IT infrastructure is an additional expense.

I think this is an accurate and customizable product with the advantage of being able to integrate easily. It's very useful when it comes to programming.

I rate this solution eight out of 10.

We use Visual Studio code, which is an IDE for building code from scratch. It is a simple development IDE that allows us to write code.

We have a free hand to build anything from scratch without relying on low-code providers with limited features. Although it is time-consuming, it provides flexibility.

We are satisfied because it allows us to build anything from scratch without dependency on low-code providers with limited features. It's an open framework.

There are not any specific areas for improvement since there are so many libraries and frameworks already available, and we have not even touched everything yet.

We have been working with Visual Studio for about five years.

We have not encountered any complaints about stability. It is a straightforward process with nothing troublesome.

There are no scalability issues. It's all about your coding.

We have not contacted Microsoft support. However, there is a community on Microsoft's website where we can post feedback and receive help.

Positive

We have not tried any other tools like this one. We just worked with this tool because it's good.

The initial setup was very simple. It's all about the quality of the product you are developing using the tool.

We implemented it ourselves. It's about being a good developer to use the tool.

The return on investment is notable as it's a free product from Microsoft, so there is zero cost.

The tool is free, resulting in no costs associated with its use. The absence of price makes it cost-effective.

We did not evaluate other solutions since we have only worked with this tool.

This tool is very popular among developers and programmers. I would highly recommend it.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Test Professional is a versatile solution that can be utilized for a wide range of projects such as integration, analysis, reporting, development, and BIS or data-related projects that are based on Microsoft technologies. While it is a useful tool for many purposes, we primarily use it for security testing as it excels in this area.

User-friendly ID and direct integration with GitHub are the most valuable. We can integrate it with other platforms and even use Python. So, it's not limited to just one platform and has good coding capabilities.

One significant issue is when there are multiple annual updates, and we are developing a project, it should be compatible. We may need to either upgrade or downgrade the project, depending on the package. That can be a difficult and bothersome task. We need to maintain the same version of the environment. So compatibility should be improved.

For additional features, it can also support the Python language. We can develop using Python features in Visual Studio. It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve. Visual Studio is very open, and we can develop in no time.

I have used it for five to six years, primarily for community, enterprise, and solution projects. I am using the latest version.

It is stable enough, I would rate it nine out of ten.

It has good scalability. We have six to seven users currently working with it.

The setup is straightforward. The deployment process can be executed quickly. Once it's in our system, we can use it for any development project based on the project we need. The deployment can be done in-house without any technical team necessary.

Deployment usually takes about ten minutes, and I can do it myself in-house.

It's costly, but not too much, and it's just within our budget. One good thing is we can make use of community relations.

There aren't any additional costs, like extra system integration or something. However, there may be some differences in the pricing since the PS will be different. As a standard version, it will have most of the capabilities.

The environment is straightforward and user-friendly, so there's not much of a learning curve. I used it for my project, and it worked well, and I definitely recommend it for future use.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

I am using Visual Studio Code. Currently, Visual Studio is used for testing code, including unit testing. For Azure orchestration, we use GitLab.

The integrated unit testing and extensive search features have made things easier.

The unit testing is integrated with Git. Searching is extensive and helpful.

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

It's been six months since I last used Visual Studio. Recently, I haven't faced any issues.

No instability issues are mentioned.

No scalability issues are mentioned.

I have not used customer support, so I cannot comment on it.

We used Zoom for communication. I have not used it for a long time now. We have moved to using Teams.

The IT department handles certain aspects, and I am not informed about them.

GitHub Copilot hasn't been started yet, and Visual Studio Test Professional is used for testing.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We use it for the the developing web applications than web services Test applications.

It has some of the best documentation in the world.

There are some stability users that needs to be bettered.

I have been using the solution for 10 to 15 years.

I rate the tool’s stability an eight out of ten. It can be improved.

The tool is scalable. We have ten users.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took us an hour to deploy the product. It is very difficult to download. It took a very long time.

I installed the solution myself.

We pay a yearly license fee for the tool. The product is very expensive.

I will recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

We use it to develop applications. 

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

The performance could be faster. Microsoft should come with a universal license. 

I have been using Visual Studio Test Professional for some time. 

The stability is getting better with each day. 

It is a scalable solution. Hundreds of developers have been using the solution lately. 

The support is good. 

The initial setup is easy. Once you have downloaded the solution, the deployment does not take much time. 

You can ask it to download the console. You can have it downloaded offline, and then you can download the full setup. Once you have the computer to install it on, you can just click and set it up.

Developers and development managers are required for the deployment. 

For enterprise and professional licenses, the company pays for the community edition experience. 

Visual Studio Test Professional is very easy to use. It makes debugging code easier for developers. Compared to other IDs, I feel that it will improve the development process and make it faster. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
