Visual Studio Test- Probably the best Test Case writer

Visual Studio Test Professional is currently backed up by Microsoft which makes it an amazing product to believe in. The way currently we are using it is to write test cases across the whole organization. The major problem it solves is being lightweight. Its internal tool engine makes sure that the language and formatting are automatically detected so that the user does not have to worry much about the syntax, which ends up saving several hundred business hours for the company.
  • Bug fixes
  • Free to use
  • Lightweight
Cons
  • Poor support on a few Linux Distros
  • Crashes sometimes
It is just amazing if you are using it at a large scale company where the streamlined quality needs to be maintained and if continuous integration and continuous delivery happen. It is also always readily available, and the integration benefits are just amazing if you are using Azure as your cloud platform.

Testing made easier and faster

Visual Studio Test Professional is used as a link between business analysts, developers and QA, across almost all of our IT projects. It makes the three teams speak the same language and dramatically shortens the project cycles, avoiding usual problems such as "can’t reproduce the bug" or "it works on my PC" and so on.
Testing is now industrialized and we are looking forward to automation capabilities that were made possible by the tool, integrated with azure devops server.
  • Testing management.
  • Inter-team communication.
  • Test data sharing.
Cons
  • The tool can be a little bit hard to understand for non-IT users.
  • Consumes many hardware resources.
  • The new cloud version is very different from the desktop former one.
Very useful when the QA or business analysts team takes enough time to prepare, plan and save testing scenarios, so that dev team finds it ready at the first step of implementation. But that step can be annoying - and unproperly done - for teams that are not enough rigorous in their work.

Visual Studio Test Professional is being used within my branch (in a single department) as part of developing a GUI to be utilized by air traffic personnel (especially for maintenance planning). The GUI will be capable of being displayed on multiple platforms, in which real-time data of various navigation approach systems will be accessible to air traffic across the contiguous United States.
  • Multi-platform development capabilities
  • No need for additional plug-ins
  • Real-time code debugging capabilities
  • Supports many different programming languages
  • Auto-populate functionality
  • Intuitive and user friendly design
  • Very easy to create libraries
Cons
  • Requires a lot of RAM/memory
  • The need to reboot one's computer following an update is cumbersome.
  • Very expensive, therefore, likely not accessible to single-users/small start-up businesses
Due to the ability to code using various programming languages, this tool is good for businesses to integrate tacross many different needs/applications, as well as various employee skill-sets. This tool may be less appropriate for single-users/start-ups since it requires hardware/firmware with enough power/space to support its use.

Visual Studio Test Professional passes the tests for streamlined testing and test management!

Visual Studio Test Professional is used by our Software Testers in our core product testing as well as our client specific customized studies. Visual Studio Test Professional allows our Testers to write and manage Test Plans, Test Suites and Test Cases as well as run manual and automated tests to assure the software is stable, works as intended and is bug free (or as close to bug free as possible!)
  • Visual Studio Test Professional when paired with Azure DevOps is the best solution for Test Case Management when compared to other Testing tools we've used in the past.
  • Test Results and Artifacts are always available with full traceablility for audits.
  • Testing and Release Management are tied together as one continuous pipeline.
Cons
  • Interface can be confusing.
  • Needs more shortcut keys.
  • Needs better export features, like exporting to Excel.
If you're used to the Visual Studio IDE for coding, then it feels very natural using Visual Studio Test Professional. If you're not used to the GUI, then it does have a bit of a learning curve and then Testers might be better suited using the web interface. Both accomplish the same end results and the licensing covers both options.

I use Visual Studio Test Professional across the whole organization in order to test the applications that I code and develop. It allows me to do testing in the cloud and test in multiple environments in order to make sure that all of my releases are clean and reliable. Highly recommend.
  • Testing in multiple environments
  • Testing in the cloud
  • Recording test results
Cons
  • Name confusion with Microsoft Test Manager
  • Testing across platforms could have easier user interface
  • Testing in the cloud could have easier user interface
Visual Studio Test Professional is extremely well suited for people who want to test applications they are coding in a manner that is easily repeatable, recordable, and done in a business-like manner. Visual Studio Test Professional is less suitable for the actual coding itself of applications you are working on.
