"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"User-friendly ID and direct integration with GitHub are the most valuable."
"One of the best documentation in the world."
"The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems."
"We are satisfied with technical support. Communicating with them is very simple. We also have a lot of online resources to check and to study and to train our team with. The documentation is very clear and readily available."
"The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."
"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
"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."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."
"The product must provide more automation."
"The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
