Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, IDERA, Microsoft and others in Test Management Tools."The most valuable feature is the ability to copy the scenarios and as we do a rollout we can efficiently complete test three and put it somewhere else under a new subsidiary."
"Test migration from HPE are done automatically. We can extract our tests from HPE, and they convert it into the Panaya format."
"Provides better monitoring for testing campaigns and business process testing."
"The test repository to follow the test progress is most valuable because we can easily create and manage a huge number of test scripts. We can copy and paste, replicate, and drag and drop many tests scripts. We can create test scripts en masse. When you have a high volume of tests, the tool is quite useful. It works well when you want to manage a lot of tests, such as you have 1,000 or more test scripts."
"The initial setup was not complex and the product itself is very easy to configure and use."
"It is easy for business users to use who are not familiar with testing tools."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is that it keeps the code secure while working collaboratively in a team of four or five individuals."
"The initial setup is fairly easy."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"The most valuable feature is the backlog."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"The solution is very much stable."
"They provide options for custom fields or tabs, but customization of workflows would be great."
"The setup of Panaya Recorder is a bit complex. Panaya is a SaaS application, but you need to install some components on your computer. You need to set up your computer to allow Panaya Recorder to work. There are five or six things to do each time you install Panaya for any user. If you miss something, Panaya Recorder doesn't work. So, it is complex to install."
"It would be nice to be able to test offline. What I mean by that is today most of the time things are in the cloud, but sometimes when we are in factories and we do not have network access and we should be able to download a test script into our PCs and do the test offline. Once that is complete we can re-upload it when we have a network connection."
"Support is reactive and in English only."
"They have room for improvement in merging the source code changes for multiple developers across files. It is very good at highlighting the changes that the source code automatically does not know how to handle, but it's not very good at reporting the ones that it did automatically. There are times when we have source code that gets merged, and we lose the changes that we expected to happen. It can get a little confusing at times. They can just do a little bit better on the merging of changes for multiple developers."
"I'd like to see some kind of visualization tool for TFS that would make life much easier."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"Sometimes we feel that it need more CPU, and RAMs on TFS server, either we implemented the hardware with the product minimum requirements."
"The interface can be improved and made more user-friendly."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
"The execution of test cases could stand improvement."
"One of the areas that could be improved is to have an effective full lifecycle management."
