Microsoft Visual Studio Reviews

I use Microsoft Visual Studio to write the test code for all of our products. I use it with C#. I integrate UFT within, I integrate the AnyUnit testing framework, and I integrate our API libraries.

The test explorer is really important for us as it aids in testing, along with the regular debugger. Even though I forgot the term for it at the moment, there is an overall debugger tool within the IDE that is very effective. This comprehensive debugger tool does the job efficiently, making our work easier.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for software development.

Microsoft Visual Studio has improved the way our organization functions by allowing us to develop applications rapidly.

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 on a MacBook. 

The installation process is not difficult. 

It's good overall. 

The solution is stable. 

We have no issues with scaling. 

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio for development purposes for my different clients in the USA and other regions. I use it in developing applications, web applications, and mobile Android applications.

Microsoft Visual Studio is very easy to use with an excellent graphic interface. It is easy to understand for both experienced users and new users. The availability of the community edition allows users to access the tool without cost, and if needed for production, they can opt for the paid version.

My first use case was to develop Microsoft Windows tools in .Net Framework (formerly from 3.5). Later I developed web platforms in ASP .NET and lately, I have developed APIs in both .NET Framework and NET Core, the latest in NET 6.

The platforms that I develop in Windows environments and do not have CI/CD systems I deploy them directly from Visual Studio. The entire Windows ecosystem is well managed by Visual Studio.

When I program in Microsoft Windows I usually use Visual Studio.

Microsoft Visual Studio is a must-have tool if you work in Windows environments.

Organizations working on a large number of workstations or organizations that are just starting out have a complete tool for use in several versions, most popularly free. So starting or developing a project under these conditions is extremely affordable.

But back to the main feature, with Microsoft Visual Studio you have a Swiss army knife of software development (integration, development, debugging, and deployment) complete and free in its most popular version.

I use Microsoft Visual Studio primarily for development. It has a code analyzer with various options to analyze the code that I have written. It provides intelligence for whatever language I am using and offers DevOps integrations.

A very valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is the debugger, which is helpful for debugging applications line by line. Additionally, the integration with various services is easy, and with Copilot, it becomes easier to learn and understand Microsoft Visual Studio features. It has many useful features for development purposes. The features available in Microsoft Visual Studio are beneficial for making builds, deployments, and everything related to dot net projects with C#. This provides great efficiency in my work. We frequently handle dot net projects with C#, utilizing all sorts of features to facilitate building and deploying, which add significant value.

Recently, I have been working with the Power Platform, which is a Microsoft product. Currently, I am exploring and doing one project as well. Power Platform is looking promising, and it provides various features. It is very easy to learn Power Platform. Power Platform may only be applicable to small size to mid-size applications, so I think it will not be applicable to enterprise level applications.

Power Platform provides workflows and database functionality. The database application is very good. When creating an entity, based on that entity, you can create views and pages automatically based on the table. That is one good feature in Power Platform. It also supports customization features, though it takes some time to understand as there are many steps for customization. If any system exposes functionality using REST API, we can get the URL and environment details such as headers. In Microsoft Visual Studio, if a system exposes services, we can consume those services by getting their proper URL/URI and header information. If they have any authentication mechanism using tokens, we can utilize those in Microsoft Visual Studio to invoke and call the REST APIs provided by external systems.

I develop applications and work at Roma Tre University. We develop applications ranging from student career management to employee and HR office functions.

One valuable feature of Microsoft Visual Studio is its powerful debugger, which is the only feature I primarily use. Another significant advantage is the integration with Copilot and AI support. Additionally, the ease of integration with solutions is worth mentioning.
