It needs to be independent and user-friendly

What is most valuable?

TFS and MTM.

How has it helped my organization?

I haven't worked with any real projects, but did some R&D using TFS and MTM. MTM is very good for maintaining the test plan, test suite and all. Can link automation scripts with existing manual test cases.

What needs improvement?

It needs to be independent and user-friendly (cannot link automation scripts from MTM, should link the scripts by opening visual studio).

For how long have I used the solution?

Around two years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Nothing specific.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I felt it was bit slow (May be it depends on the server memory size(?).

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Nothing specific.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

A seven out of 10.

Technical Support:

A seven out of 10

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Just for some analysis.

How was the initial setup?

A little bit complex setting test agents and controllers.

What about the implementation team?

Not through a vendor team.

What was our ROI?

No ROI since it is just for R&D.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Costly, but effective

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Any other automation tool that supports C#.
