"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"I was satisfied with the support given by customer service."
"It is a very common and strong product. A lot of support is available for this product."
"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market."
"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."
"Easy to use and easily scalable."
"The stability has always been very good."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"It needs more integration with other tools for monitoring. Microsoft also needs to make it more modern to make it work with microservices and the cloud. It is a bit outdated currently."
"The documentation is limited."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"The solution should be cheaper."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
