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.

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."
"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"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."
"Because we have the capability of being able to provide the traceability that they require, it helps us with laying out what they need for their validation efforts."
"Reduced cost of software implementation and testing processes by automation Streamlined the software development process so that we could deliver high quality software in short time to the market"
"TFS is more stable and more scalable."
"The full ALM experience that means you can have all your information in one place."
"In summary, this is a good product and I strongly recommend it."
"The API for managing TFS programmatically is very powerful, you can listen on work items changes by TFS events."
"It is a flexible tool which can be adopted to our own way of work, that allows us to enhance and continuously improve our ability to deliver great and quality software to our clients."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
 

Cons

"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"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."
"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."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"There might be some complexity in its off-cloud versions."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
"From a testing perspective, while the build and deploy automation capability and pipeline integration are already present to a great extent, these are areas where TFS can improve further."
"Its pricing could be improved."
"Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"Scrum Board implementation and Backlog viewer require some improvements in order to make its usage simpler and interactive."
"The dashboard and the customization of dashboards is an area they have to work on."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I believe we pay on a yearly basis. I don't know the current costs of them. We outsource all that to a third party. Each of the developers gets a Microsoft Visual Studio Azure DevOps license, which gives them access to the TFS server as well. We probably pay on average about 1,800 Canadian Dollars a year for every developer, but that covers a lot more than just TFS."
"TFS is not cheap."
"I wouldn't say that this tool is cheap or expensive but in the middle."
"I am not in a position to comment on the licensing terms, as we are talking about an enterprise arrangement."
"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."
"There are different prices depending on the configurations. There is a free version available. There is no extra cost for the solution. However, the hardware could be something that needs to be considered."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
