The product must provide more automation.

I have been using the solution for five years.

The tool is stable.

The tool is scalable. Three people use the product in our company. We have plans to increase the number of users to five or six.

We use different solutions for other development environments. We use what’s best for each language we support or use. We use Visual Studio Test Professional because it supports .NET the best.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took us 15 to 20 minutes to deploy the solution.

We’re software engineers. The deployment can be done in-house.

I would recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Test Professional is a versatile solution that can be utilized for a wide range of projects such as integration, analysis, reporting, development, and BIS or data-related projects that are based on Microsoft technologies. While it is a useful tool for many purposes, we primarily use it for security testing as it excels in this area.

User-friendly ID and direct integration with GitHub are the most valuable. We can integrate it with other platforms and even use Python. So, it's not limited to just one platform and has good coding capabilities.

One significant issue is when there are multiple annual updates, and we are developing a project, it should be compatible. We may need to either upgrade or downgrade the project, depending on the package. That can be a difficult and bothersome task. We need to maintain the same version of the environment. So compatibility should be improved.

For additional features, it can also support the Python language. We can develop using Python features in Visual Studio. It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve. Visual Studio is very open, and we can develop in no time.

I have used it for five to six years, primarily for community, enterprise, and solution projects. I am using the latest version.

It is stable enough, I would rate it nine out of ten.

It has good scalability. We have six to seven users currently working with it.

The setup is straightforward. The deployment process can be executed quickly. Once it's in our system, we can use it for any development project based on the project we need. The deployment can be done in-house without any technical team necessary.

Deployment usually takes about ten minutes, and I can do it myself in-house.

It's costly, but not too much, and it's just within our budget. One good thing is we can make use of community relations.

There aren't any additional costs, like extra system integration or something. However, there may be some differences in the pricing since the PS will be different. As a standard version, it will have most of the capabilities.

The environment is straightforward and user-friendly, so there's not much of a learning curve. I used it for my project, and it worked well, and I definitely recommend it for future use.

Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

We do a lot of test-driven development and acceptance test-driven development, so we write all our test cases for our .net development through Visual Studio Test Professional. 

Visual Studio Test Professional has allowed us to increase the quality of one of our web portal products drastically. We went two years with only one regression in our software because of the automated testing we built with Visual Studio Test. 

Visual Studio Test Professional's most valuable feature is the rich IDE for doing code and test development.

I've been using Visual Studio Test Professional for as long as I can remember.

I'd rate Visual Studio Test Professional's stability eight out of ten.

I would rate Visual Studio Test Professional's scalability nine out of ten.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward.

We've seen an ROI because the IDE is much richer than others we've used.

Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey - I would rate its pricing six out of ten.

I would recommend anybody thinking of implementing Visual Studio Test Professional to go for it. I'd give Visual Studio Test Professional a rating of eight out of ten.

It helps us to create happy and safe solutions.

It is a free solution, the documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems.

It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it. The interface could also be more simple.

We have been using this solution for four years. It is deployed on-premises and on Azure cloud.

It is a stable solution.

It is very scalable. The backend developer and full-start developer use this solution, and it doesn't require maintenance.

Few people are needed for deployment, and it is easy because it is Microsoft technology. It takes about one hour to deploy.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten. I would recommend this solution to others, but it requires a lot of learning to use it.

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. 

Visual Studio is for custom software development.

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.

We have been selling Visual Studio for more than 10 years.

Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine.

It depends on what you mean by scalability. Only one person uses Visual Studio at a time, but it's scalable in terms of project size. We have
70 users. We will grow usage as we grow the department and the company. We're expecting between 5 and 10 percent growth in usage next year.

Microsoft support could be faster. It took a while to get to a knowledgeable person in some cases, but we got the answer that we were looking for in the end.

Setting up Visual Studio is straightforward. Each developer configures their own environment.

We have both options. Some licenses are paid yearly. Others are monthly subscriptions.

I rate Visual Studio Test Professional nine out of 10.

We primarily use the solution as a build environment.

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.

In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line. It gives me memory analysis, however, it's not taking me to the code lines. That's what I was searching for in Micro Focus. If I could find a product that works exactly like BoundsChecker or better, then I would switch to that.

I've used the solution for a very long time. I've used it since version 1.5. It's been many years.

We've never questioned the stability. It's always been quite good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

We've never contacted technical support. There was never any need to do so. Therefore, I can't speak to how knowledgeable or responsive they are. 

Many years back not now, very early 2006 or 2007 or around there, we were using a product called BoundsChecker and that time we were using it very extensively and it was a very, very useful tool. We had it integrated with Visual Studio 6.0. Now, we are using Visual Studio 2017 and 2019. However, unfortunately, we haven't found any tool that gives us the same kind of output as BoundsChecker used to. When I searched its history I found that it has been bought by Micro Focus and it has changed names a lot of times. I've been looking for a product giving the same output as BoundsChecker.

The initial setup was not complex or difficult. It was easy and pretty straightforward.

We aren't bothered by the pricing of the solution at all due to the fact that it provides us with a lot of great tools. The pricing is high, however, it's a single tool that allows you to do a lot of development without having to buy multiple other tools to do the same tasks.

We're into software development. We are developing products, enterprise-level products, for clients. Microsoft is a business partner.

I'm into product management. My developers are the ones that are directly working with Visual Studio. I myself I'm not overly technical. Therefore, my insight is slightly limited. 

We are using versions from both 2017 and 2019. It might be Visual Studio version 6.0. 

We are not using a lot of it due to the fact that ours is a legacy code written back in the 1990s. It's a system library. We simply use it to build and compile and that's it.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I haven't completely explored the whole solution, however, I've been very pleased with its overall capabilities. 

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.
