Visual Studio Test Professional Reviews

Visual Studio Test Professional is a very good IDE from Microsoft. It collaborates smoothly with all kinds of development, whether .NET or regular, and you can use it for front- and back-end development.

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.

Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its scalability. 

I have been using the product for three to four years. 

I rate Visual Studio Test Professional's stability a ten out of ten. It is monitored by Microsoft, and updates are released every three months. 

I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. My company has five users. 

We did the tool's deployment in-house. 

With Visual Studio Test Professional, we experience reduced development time and benefit from better and more stable environments, which significantly improves the quality of our products.

There are two versions of Visual Studio Test Professional: Community and Professional. We are currently using the Community version, but if we start working on a commercial product, we will consider upgrading to the Professional version. We need to identify how we will proceed with our projects, and based on that, we will decide on our licensing.

There would be some additional costs, but we need to consider them for our product. However, we currently use the Community edition since we focus primarily on training people and not producing final products for users. If we decide to develop a software product in the future, then we would consider upgrading to the Professional edition. 

My experience with testing is primarily with unit testing, where you write tests for every piece of code. I don't handle the broader testing systems; other team members manage those aspects using tools like Selenium. 

Customers comment on how to improve our solutions. The tool offers some AI integration, but currently, we are not utilizing AI in our projects. Instead, we are exploring AI capabilities in GitHub.

My advice to people who are considering implementing Visual Studio Test Professional is that they should try it. It supports robust solutions and offers seamless integration, whether on-premises or in the cloud, without any problems.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. 

We use the solution for developing desktop applications. We also use the solution to do some integrations, APIs, DLLs, and all sorts of things to solve different problems.

The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability. The solution's developer community is also very vibrant.

The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution. There used to be references material that were incorporated in the solution, but most of it has moved to online. The solution may need to have some simulator for Android.

The solution’s integration with Mac could be improved. It would be easy if the solution can simulate or have an environment that mimics it during development work.

The solution needs to find a way of integrating newer technologies like AI and machine learning.

I have been using Visual Studio Test Professional for a few years.

We have no issue with the solution's stability. It does not crash or anything in a development environment.

The solution's initial setup is very straightforward, especially if you know what you are doing.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team.

Visual Studio Test Professional is not an expensive solution.

We use the solution for customer-specific tasks like integrating devices, data migration and encryption, etc. We once used the solution to integrate medical devices, like laboratory equipment. We use the solution to extract data and push it to a database.

The testing part has been a failure. Sometimes, it is difficult to follow. We document our procedures very well. We know what a certain item or core section needs to do, and it is easy to test.

The solution's cross-platform test and support have been a problem with the delay. Sometimes, porting the application from Android to a different operating system is a big problem.

You can develop a very wide range of applications using the solution. There is no application that Visual Studio Test Professional is not suitable for. Since there are a lot of skilled people on Visual Studio around, you don't need staff to work with the solution. There is a large repository of sample applications, code, and solutions to all sorts of problems we will encounter that have already been done in Visual Studio.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

It is an integrated development environment. Every developer who uses .NET has to use Visual Studio. Without it, developing, building, and releasing products is very difficult. Visual Studio has many features for development. It helps with the full development life cycle. The tool is primarily for coders.

The solution provides us with a set of templates. It reduces the development time because the templates give a pre-build structure. We can build our code on it. The solution provides automation testing tools that we can use for unit testing and stress testing. The product provides a mechanism to build our code and release it wherever we want. If we use CI/CD, we do not have to use Visual Studio.

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.

The tool crashes and has high memory consumption. Sometimes, it doesn't support certain features. The performance must be improved.

The tool is quite stable. It crashes when we have huge codes.

We can scale it vertically by increasing the RAM. Five to seven developers use the solution in our organization.

We do not use technical support. Usually, we search for the problems in Microsoft’s forum and solve them ourselves.

The initial setup is simple. To deploy the solution, we downloaded the setup file and installed it.

The implementation can be done in-house.

If we do not use tools like Visual Studio, we will have to do much work ourselves. The product improves our productivity.

We can pay an annual license fee. We can also pay per user. The tool is affordable. It is not expensive.

People who want to use the product must get familiar with it. They must read some documentation. They must understand what they want to achieve using Visual Studio. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I am using Visual Studio Code. Currently, Visual Studio is used for testing code, including unit testing. For Azure orchestration, we use GitLab.

The integrated unit testing and extensive search features have made things easier.

The unit testing is integrated with Git. Searching is extensive and helpful.

The Git extensions are very basic and can be more extensive compared to other software focused on Git, like GitTower or SmartGit.

It's been six months since I last used Visual Studio. Recently, I haven't faced any issues.

No instability issues are mentioned.

No scalability issues are mentioned.

I have not used customer support, so I cannot comment on it.

We used Zoom for communication. I have not used it for a long time now. We have moved to using Teams.

The IT department handles certain aspects, and I am not informed about them.

GitHub Copilot hasn't been started yet, and Visual Studio Test Professional is used for testing.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We use Visual Studio code, which is an IDE for building code from scratch. It is a simple development IDE that allows us to write code.

We have a free hand to build anything from scratch without relying on low-code providers with limited features. Although it is time-consuming, it provides flexibility.

We are satisfied because it allows us to build anything from scratch without dependency on low-code providers with limited features. It's an open framework.

There are not any specific areas for improvement since there are so many libraries and frameworks already available, and we have not even touched everything yet.

We have been working with Visual Studio for about five years.

We have not encountered any complaints about stability. It is a straightforward process with nothing troublesome.

There are no scalability issues. It's all about your coding.

We have not contacted Microsoft support. However, there is a community on Microsoft's website where we can post feedback and receive help.

Positive

We have not tried any other tools like this one. We just worked with this tool because it's good.

The initial setup was very simple. It's all about the quality of the product you are developing using the tool.

We implemented it ourselves. It's about being a good developer to use the tool.

The return on investment is notable as it's a free product from Microsoft, so there is zero cost.

The tool is free, resulting in no costs associated with its use. The absence of price makes it cost-effective.

We did not evaluate other solutions since we have only worked with this tool.

This tool is very popular among developers and programmers. I would highly recommend it.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use it to develop applications. 

The solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft. 

The performance could be faster. Microsoft should come with a universal license. 

I have been using Visual Studio Test Professional for some time. 

The stability is getting better with each day. 

It is a scalable solution. Hundreds of developers have been using the solution lately. 

The support is good. 

The initial setup is easy. Once you have downloaded the solution, the deployment does not take much time. 

You can ask it to download the console. You can have it downloaded offline, and then you can download the full setup. Once you have the computer to install it on, you can just click and set it up.

Developers and development managers are required for the deployment. 

For enterprise and professional licenses, the company pays for the community edition experience. 

Visual Studio Test Professional is very easy to use. It makes debugging code easier for developers. Compared to other IDs, I feel that it will improve the development process and make it faster. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

When using Visual Studio, we have two type types of reports that we use including TFS and Git. I use TFS to open the solutions, make any changes and to complete tests for quality program production.

The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR.

The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us.

We have been using this solution for almost a year.

This solution is not that stable. The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us.

This solution is scalable. 

We have our own tech support in the office so we do not use their customer support.

The initial setup is straightforward. We have partial scripts and we used them to run the setup using Octopus.

I would advise others to save changes in their repository or it might get lost.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

I use it for coding, debugging, and other usual things.

It is very easy to use. You can handle a lot of things together at once in one package, which is a good point for us.

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.

I have been using this solution for four or five years. 

I haven't contacted their technical support. We always search on the web. You can easily find most of the information on the web or Microsoft site. They have a big community, and you can find the information very easily.

The initial installation is very good and easy. In 2015, they added a visual installer, which made it easier than before. Nowadays, we use Visual Studio to change or modify some of the packages, and it is much easier than before.

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Visual Studio Test Professional a seven out of ten.
