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.

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."
"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."
"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"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."
"Reduced cost of software implementation and testing processes by automation Streamlined the software development process so that we could deliver high quality software in short time to the market"
"It's user friendly."
"I have found almost all of the features valuable because it integrates well with your Microsoft products. If a client is using the entire Microsoft platform, then TFS would be definitely preferable. It integrates with the digital studio development environment as well."
"You could use a less expensive product, but if you need integration with MS Visual Studio this is the best product."
"TFS is a good product and you can continue working with it."
"The product is absolutely scalable for use in large enterprise companies."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard and task-selection capability."
 

Cons

"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"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."
"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"The interface can be improved and made more user-friendly."
"We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS."
"When you are trying to connect from Visual Studio code to TFS the integration isn't so easy and I think that could be improved."
"This is the negative side of TFS; the price is expensive."
"Even with VS Code as an open source ID, TFS at the backend as a repository is difficult and integration is complex."
"Customization of build templates needs better tools and tracking and it should be more friendly on test lab setup."
"From a testing perspective, while the build and deploy automation capability and pipeline integration are already present to a great extent, these are areas where TFS can improve further."
"TFS should have capabilities similar to Git, like storing all types of artifacts in the repository."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is an expensive solution."
"There is a yearly licensing fee that needs to be paid."
"The pricing is reasonable at this time."
"We pay for the license yearly."
"It's just as expensive as HPE ALM, without many of the features, best used for development tool only to avoid higher costs."
