Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, Microsoft, IDERA and others in Test Management Tools."RQM is something that we use everyday, so it has to be up and running, otherwise we would lose everything."
"It's very reliable as a solution."
"The one feature that has not allowed us to switch to any other solution is the integration with functional testing."
"Reusability and integration capabilities which make it a great choice for organizations that use a variety of development tools and platforms."
"It allows user to add whichever widget (predefined) based on the need. It has integration with CCM and RM to achieve traceability."
"RQM's best features are integration with test automation and performance testing."
"Latest features include versioning of testings which can be great when used for multiple releases of a product."
"The most valuable feature is the RFT because it allows us to automate manual test cases."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"The solution is very much stable."
"Complete integration with VS IDE and Office tools: This give us a possibility of high-level automation, thus minimizing human error."
"It's an integrated system that includes all the information that we need to deliver our products smoothly and to track the progress of each piece of code."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"It is a stable solution."
"The API for managing TFS programmatically is very powerful, you can listen on work items changes by TFS events."
"For what I need TFS for, I have never run into any limitation."
"The interface is easy to navigate."
"While RQM allows for running tests and viewing results, it could be further enhanced in terms of performance and speed."
"It would be helpful if we could assign a hierarchy to a group of test cases."
"RQM could be improved by adding a feature that allows test requirements to be selected when creating a task plan."
"Currently, the user interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Adding support for uploading a collection of test cases would be a helpful addition."
"Organizing the test cases is tedious. There is no mechanism to keep and maintain the test cases as hierarchy. This should be seriously addressed."
"Mainly Quality Assurance and DevOps, but of course the whole company and management areas with more knowledge of quality and client success approach."
"Integration capabilities with other vendors' tools should improve."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."
"It has been really dated. When you start to work more in an agile environment, it is not really that flexible. They tried to replicate the look and feel of Jira, but it is not quite there. It was nice to use in the past, but it is not as flexible now with the changing development environments and methodologies."
"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full lifecycle management."
"Merging branches is definitely one of the more challenging aspects for people new to TFS."
"The tool needs improvement in stability."
"Integration from Visual Studio could be improved."
"I understand Microsoft is phasing out TFS in favor of Git, so I would steer anyone interested in TFS to look into Git."
"TFS and MTM have their own style of working and they are different from other tools like Jira or TestRail, which are simpler and easy to use."
"I would like to see TFS improve its web interface as there are some limitations with IDs and the integration behind it and with open-source tools like VS Code."
