"I like its MTM (Microsoft Test Manager) section which gives us options to create various test plans and add test cases into it."
"The solution's iteration board is good because you can track all your work with it."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard and task-selection capability."
"The work item feature is most valuable. It allows us to store all product requirements. We can also link the test cases to those requirements so that we know which feature has already been tested, and which one is waiting for testing. We can also couple the code reviews, unit tests, and automated tests into these requirements. It is reliable. It has all the features and good performance. It also has reporting tools or analysis tools."
"This solution enables us to link all items usefully, in the way we use Agile."
"Build definitions and releases within the product. allow us to put our latest applications in the field."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The execution of test cases could stand improvement."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"I would like to see the reporting features expanded so that I can see details on the users connected to all of the projects."
"TFS on-premise does not support integration with SharePoint Online."
"The price could be cheaper."
"They should have design patterns in TFS for the development team, and design patterns for the QA."
"It would be better if we could bring it out on the cloud."
"It has been really dated. When you start to work more in an agile environment, it is not really that flexible. They tried to replicate the look and feel of Jira, but it is not quite there. It was nice to use in the past, but it is not as flexible now with the changing development environments and methodologies."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
