"The test repository to follow the test progress is most valuable because we can easily create and manage a huge number of test scripts. We can copy and paste, replicate, and drag and drop many tests scripts. We can create test scripts en masse. When you have a high volume of tests, the tool is quite useful. It works well when you want to manage a lot of tests, such as you have 1,000 or more test scripts."
"The stability has always been very good."
"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."
"Easy to use and easily scalable."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."
"It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us."
"I was satisfied with the support given by customer service."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"The setup of Panaya Recorder is a bit complex. Panaya is a SaaS application, but you need to install some components on your computer. You need to set up your computer to allow Panaya Recorder to work. There are five or six things to do each time you install Panaya for any user. If you miss something, Panaya Recorder doesn't work. So, it is complex to install."
"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."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"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."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"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."
"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."
"One of the problems with this solution is you need to be highly technically skilled to operate it, it is not for everyone."
