Visual Studio Test Professional Valuable Features

The integration of Visual Studio with Azure DevOps has improved team collaboration significantly. In our automation framework, I have established connections by creating and mapping the test cases, mapping those automation test cases, and changing the test case status as automated, which I have done in our automation framework as well.

Regarding the ability of Visual Studio to create feedback loops in our Agile workflow, we are using that in Azure DevOps. We have a retrospective in our auto projects that we are using frequently to get lessons learned, what went well, and what is going wrong, which we are capturing. In Visual Studio, GitHub Copilot is also provided by the organization, so we can provide feedback when our input does not match what we were expecting.

In Visual Studio, my area is in automation testing and QA, so for quality improvement, we are mainly checking the reports and have metrics for the pass rate and fail rate, which we are doing the checking based on that.

You can easily write code, test, and deploy within the same environment. It is a mature tool. It regularly receives new updates and versions. In my opinion, it's one of the best products by Microsoft for developers.

We can use the IDE to develop code. The product gives hints and autocomplete features for code. IntelliSense is very good. It improves the coding experience. The tool has highly detailed debugging features. We can debug our code and easily find the problem using it.

We can do TDD using Visual Studio. Visual Studio helps us to create test cases for our functions. We can run the test cases or make them a part of our CI/CD pipeline. Whenever we run CI/CD, the test cases will run. The debugging tool is very good. It is quite advanced. We can track down our issues easily. It gives us a full stack trace.

Customization is the most powerful feature of this product because you can mold and design to your requirements. It's possible, for example, to build an OCR test from PDF or work files or build your own component based on OCR provisions and obtain the data required to process. If you extract a bill you can get the identification of the vendor or IT of the product, its quantity, value, unit, and additional information. Test Professional has the advantage of being able to integrate with any kind of third-party service which is very useful for the programming phase. It also has the ability to integrate without programming or the need for developing any APIs or services to integrate with robots. A regular user can do it.

Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market.

Some of the features appreciated by our teams that work with VS are:

IntelliSense, rename functions (classes, methods, variables), move definition to file, error navigation, search in files (match case, regex), NuGet package manager, GIT experience (especially at solving merge conflicts and view history on a specific file, compare with the previous file to see changes in time), watch list and the fact it can be pinned for the variable you are monitoring, conditional breakpoints, moving execution line up when debugging, shortcuts to arrange elements in the page and remove unused namespaces, possibility to chose the Thread you want to monitor when you have multiple threads, code snippets, easy navigation to the definition and to other classes/methods/properties that refer them, and configuration of code cleanup on multiple profiles and with a lot of options.

The solution offers good memory analysis.

The solution has a lot of features on offer. We have not even utilized 100% features we used to use. From Visual Studio 6.0 onwards, the newer versions have a lot of features- including a built-in code analyzer - and all of that which would be very useful for us.

The solution can integrate with other solutions. In the past, we used to have BoundsChecker integrated with the solution for memory leak detection. 

The initial setup was pretty easy.

The stability has always been very good.

While I haven't used the feature, my understanding is that there are code-sharing capabilities among the developers in order to allow them to effectively review the code.

There are many valuable features, including the integration between the management data and the test cases. You have the ability to link them with the requirements and user stories. You also have the ability to track the running of the test cases and the reporting of the results of each test case. You are able to send some reports via dashboard control to see the status of the overall testing across specific requirements or specific user stories. It enables us to connect the bugs and the cases to the requirements.
