Feature-rich stable tool with multiple options to control output, good integration with other tools, and knowledgeable support team
The core functionality of the tool is automated test generation of optimized test suite; the tool has extensive list of options for the same. The product's integration with other tools sets it apart. It has integrations with many upstream (for requirements mapping) and downstream (export of test cases to various tools) products. It is like "plug-and-play". For any customized downstream tool, like our proprietary automation framework, support is provided for custom development. It is has features - Business AD - to use in Agile implementations. The latest version seems to have support for BDD/Gherkin as well, which we have not used much.

Ensures team collaboration with strong version control but could improve testing capabilities
Version control is the most basic feature in TFS. It has been there since the beginning. We use it primarily for that purpose. Basically ensuring that the code is not overwritten by other team members and maintaining the sanctity of the code. Bringing order to a disparate team which is virtual at different locations is very important, and TFS provides that control. Once you update a code, nobody can modify it until you are done working on it and check in. It is a great product that revolutionized the way teams work together on Microsoft pieces of code. The versioning part has unique features and capabilities which are unmatched with other products out there.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"Conformiq generates a unique and optimized set of test cases, maintains them to the current application version by removing those for obsolete functionality, and, with proper integration to the automation framework, has enabled in-release and in-sprint automation for us."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"The scalability of TFS is good, and we have approximately 200 users using this solution in my organization."
"The product is absolutely scalable for use in large enterprise companies."
"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."
"Stability is okay."
"Record and playback is a good feature."
"It is a stable solution."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
"In summary, this is a good product and I strongly recommend it."
 

Cons

"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"The security model could be more granular."
"TFS on-premise does not support integration with SharePoint Online."
"The current dashboard has limited report charts, we need more in reporting as charts are not enough to represent the project full stat."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
"Basic, manual testing should not be only available at the most expensive pricing level."
"The execution of test cases could stand improvement."
"Build definition management - there needs to be change control for build definitions"
"Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"TFS is on the higher side, but if you intend to use the tool as a complete ALM tool, it will reduce your costs in the long run."
"There is a yearly licensing fee that needs to be paid."
"If running TFS on-premise is expensive, maybe you could consider moving to the Cloud and use the Visual Studio Team Services."

"TFS is expensive, and the licensing costs are yearly. I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
