Feature-rich stable tool with multiple options to control output, good integration with other tools, and knowledgeable support team
The core functionality of the tool is automated test generation of optimized test suite; the tool has extensive list of options for the same. The product's integration with other tools sets it apart. It has integrations with many upstream (for requirements mapping) and downstream (export of test cases to various tools) products. It is like "plug-and-play". For any customized downstream tool, like our proprietary automation framework, support is provided for custom development. It is has features - Business AD - to use in Agile implementations. The latest version seems to have support for BDD/Gherkin as well, which we have not used much.

Ensures team collaboration with strong version control but could improve testing capabilities
Version control is the most basic feature in TFS. It has been there since the beginning. We use it primarily for that purpose. Basically ensuring that the code is not overwritten by other team members and maintaining the sanctity of the code. Bringing order to a disparate team which is virtual at different locations is very important, and TFS provides that control. Once you update a code, nobody can modify it until you are done working on it and check in. It is a great product that revolutionized the way teams work together on Microsoft pieces of code. The versioning part has unique features and capabilities which are unmatched with other products out there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"Conformiq generates a unique and optimized set of test cases, maintains them to the current application version by removing those for obsolete functionality, and, with proper integration to the automation framework, has enabled in-release and in-sprint automation for us."
"TFS is more stable and more scalable."
"The ability to do everything outside of an IDE; I can do 99% of everything from a web browser."
"It's is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"Record and playback is a good feature."
"If someone is looking for version control software and product management software today, then I would recommend them to go for Azure DevOps."
"For what I need TFS for, I have never run into any limitation."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
 

Cons

"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"Overall, I think it would be useful to have something similar where Microsoft comes up with supporting concepts of scaling Agile in TFS so that clients don't have to look for a separate tool."
"Scrum Board implementation and Backlog viewer require some improvements in order to make its usage simpler and interactive."
"There are glitches, such as runners getting stuck, deployments generating errors, and it's becoming outdated."
"The tool needs improvement in stability."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"I think the testing tools need some work."
"They can improve the stability and merging features, especially with SSIS."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay subscription fees on a yearly basis and the price is reasonable."
"There are different prices depending on the configurations. There is a free version available. There is no extra cost for the solution. However, the hardware could be something that needs to be considered."
"If running TFS on-premise is expensive, maybe you could consider moving to the Cloud and use the Visual Studio Team Services."
"We pay for the license yearly."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Microsoft products are always expensive. Obviously, they are quality products, but it would be helpful if there was a reduction in price. But compared to other vendors, I think the cost is high."
"Use the Microsoft recommended “seat-based” licensing model. This allows a single developer with multiple machines to consume only one client license."
"TFS is more competitively priced than some other solutions."
