We are using Microsoft Visual Studio for automation testing, specifically using C# Selenium.Visual Studio Test Case Management, which is embedded in Azure DevOps itself, is part of our process. We have a test plan in Azure DevOps cloud. I have worked in TFS when it was there, and I helped my customer migrate test cases from TFS to Azure DevOps. I created a customized tool using the personal access token to access the APIs from Azure DevOps and built a customized tool to migrate test artifacts from TFS to Azure DevOps. We are pushing our code repository to Azure GitHub, which is available in the Azure DevOps services. We are pushing that codebase there directly, and Git pull, push, and all these operations are available in Visual Studio. For that purpose, we are using it. In our automation framework, I have established connections by creating and mapping the test cases, mapping those automation test cases, and changing the test case status as automated, which I have done in our automation framework as well. The integration of Visual Studio with Azure DevOps has improved team collaboration significantly. Earlier, we established connections from Visual Studio to Azure DevOps when TFS was there.
Our primary use case for Visual Studio Test Professional is as a development tool. We develop software primarily in Python, specifically for applications related to artificial intelligence. We use frameworks like PyTorch for training models and developing applications using these models. This tool helps integrate our AI-based products and software applications.
Visual Studio Test Professional is a very good IDE from Microsoft. It collaborates smoothly with all kinds of development, whether .NET or regular, and you can use it for front- and back-end development.
We use the solution for developing desktop applications. We also use the solution to do some integrations, APIs, DLLs, and all sorts of things to solve different problems.

It is an integrated development environment. Every developer who uses .NET has to use Visual Studio. Without it, developing, building, and releasing products is very difficult. Visual Studio has many features for development. It helps with the full development life cycle. The tool is primarily for coders.
As a software developer working on the Microsoft platform, I find Visual Studio Test Professional to be a valuable tool for ensuring the quality and reliability of my applications.
I have engaged in a diverse array of activities, ranging from developing my own website and working on various in-house technology projects. Before this, my professional experience encompassed bond trading, equity trading in the city, and involvement in state agency initiatives. Overall, I have undertaken a broad spectrum of roles and projects.
We do a lot of test-driven development and acceptance test-driven development, so we write all our test cases for our .net development through Visual Studio Test Professional.
When using Visual Studio, we have two type types of reports that we use including TFS and Git. I use TFS to open the solutions, make any changes and to complete tests for quality program production.
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.
I am using this solution to automate the sequencing of processes and to manage them. For example, using remote access services to see the interactions between applications. It has taken us two years to build the tool we are working on.

I use it just for coding our applications and features. We are using version 4.5, which is an old version. We haven't tried its latest version. It probably is deployed in a private cloud. It is a part of our firm architecture or infrastructure.

This program is client-based and it allows you to build codes. So it's not like a product that you deploy for your customers either on Cloud or on-premise. This product is for developers, not for businesses.
