Easy to set up, integrates well with other tools, and maintains traceability in STLC process
There is room for improvement, including the following: * We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow. We would like to see other frequently used widgets like spin boxes, sliders, etc. * The table widget options such as display tables, modify tables, and select rows, should be enhanced. * It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system. This will help to maintain automation scripts, keeping them in synchronization with Conformiq models. * Currently, we don't have an integration with the test data management tool. Having this feature will help for generating and maintaining test data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"The features such as branching and labelling are very good because they actually help you create a master branch which is a running branch."
"It is a stable solution."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"Using TFS allowed us to document our requirements as Features and User Stories on a Product Backlog, which allows all team members to access them at the same time and see updates and changes to them in real-time."
"Stability is okay."
"User alerts are very helpful for knowing when work is required."
"You get a managed system where you can manage your development tasks easily, and you don't need to keep your own bookkeeping for tasks and backup items."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"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."
"Customization of build templates needs better tools and tracking and it should be more friendly on test lab setup."
"Currently, we are looking for a solution with which we can incorporate third-party development sites or third-party project teams into the system. Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system. A cloud-based solution would be better for us, and that's what we are looking for. Our biggest problem is the external connection, which, of course, is limited by our own IT. It would be good to have some kind of publishing service for this external connection. It might be there, and it might be that our IT is making it impossible for us. Its template editor could be easier to use. Currently, customizing the project templates according to your needs requires some work."
"Help on the site should be improved."
"When you are trying to connect from Visual Studio code to TFS the integration isn't so easy and I think that could be improved."
"The manageability and performance of the product are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"If TFS was completely free (not limited to five members for online), I would suggest using it, but the price for extra members is too expensive in my opinion and is worth it only if you are using Visual Studio, otherwise other solutions can do basically the same (talking only about source control)."
"Build definition management - there needs to be change control for build definitions"
"We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You will need to obtain server and account licenses."
"I am not in a position to comment on the licensing terms, as we are talking about an enterprise arrangement."
"On a scale where ten is the highest and one is the cheapest, I rate the solution's licensing cost at one on a scale of one to ten."
"It is pretty expensive compared to other project management tools."
"I was working with the engineering team, and that was not under my umbrella. From what I can remember, its license was yearly. They had the licenses on a per-user basis, and they included MTM."
"There is a yearly licensing fee that needs to be paid."
"Use the Microsoft recommended “seat-based” licensing model. This allows a single developer with multiple machines to consume only one client license."
"The pricing is reasonable at this time."

Which is better - TFS or Azure DevOps?
TFS and Azure DevOps are different in many ways. TFS was designed for admins, and only offers incremental improvements. In addition, TFS seems complicated to use and I don’t think it has a very fri...
