Visual Studio Test Professional Reviews

We do a lot of in-house custom software development. We develop these applications for our customers, and we do the integration with solutions from different vendors. We primarily use this solution for integrating different applications.

We have an on-premises deployment, although we are in the process of migrating to the cloud both for us and our customers.

Code testing is the most valuable feature of this solution for developing software. The unit testing functionality is very helpful.

I would like to see better integration with the main product, Visual Studio.

The tools for unit testing can be improved, giving a better ability to manage tests.

I would like to see more plugins.

Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement.

There are some bugs, and sometimes it runs very slowly, but nothing that is major. We expect these things will be straightened out in future releases.

Scalability with this solution is fine. For our purposes, it is perfectly ok.

We have about fifteen software developers using this solution.

We have requested a few tickets from technical support and the feedback is good.

Prior to this solution, we used third-party tools. Once we used this solution it was much better because of the higher level of integration with the main product, as well as the overall code management.

The initial setup of this solution is pretty straightforward.

Our team is very experienced with Visual Studio, so it took them maybe one week to get everything in order.

Our in-house team implemented this solution.

Two administrators are enough for deployment and maintenance.

We did not evaluate other options. This solution was released while we were using third-party tools, and once that happened we knew that we had to use it because of the integration.  

My advice to anybody researching this solution is that this tool is a must. It is very helpful for testing code. It will end up costing them less than what they are paying with third-party applications, partly because of the integration that is available.

The developers have to be familiar with Visual Studio Test Professional because they will know how to organize the code such that the testing comes out with results that are meaningful to them.

Overall, this is a very good product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for functional testing.

The most valuable features are integration, support, and ease of use.

Performance-wise, it is a great tool.

The documentation from Microsoft is quite good.

The pricing of this solution should be lowered.

I have been using Visual Studio Test Professional for about eight years.

This is a stable solution.

I  think that scalability is good. We have between three and five developers who use it.

We have not needed to contact technical support because the knowledge base is quite good. The community support is also good.

We have experience with other testing tools but the choice of product is dependant on the project and the requirements given by the customer.

The initial installation and setup are easy and really only take a few minutes. Definitely less than an hour.

Feature-wise, I think that this product is good enough. It is a solution that I would recommend, provided that it actually meets the requirements for the project.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

TFS and MTM.

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.

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

Around two years.

Nothing specific.

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

Nothing specific.

A seven out of 10.

A seven out of 10

Just for some analysis.

A little bit complex setting test agents and controllers.

Not through a vendor team.

No ROI since it is just for R&D.

Costly, but effective

Any other automation tool that supports C#.

• Source Control
• TFS

Source Control stores our sources securely and TFS assists in tracking our issues.

I would like to see a flowchart type diagram available to summarize the History tab, auditors would love this.

I've used it for six years.

No issues encountered.

Very good.

Very good.

It's pretty straightforward.

In-house implementation; just keep it simple.
