"I feel that the test plan and test tools are more manageable in TFS."
"This solution enables us to link all items usefully, in the way we use Agile."
"I have found almost all of the features valuable because it integrates well with your Microsoft products. If a client is using the entire Microsoft platform, then TFS would be definitely preferable. It integrates with the digital studio development environment as well."
"Team Foundation Server (TFS) is easy to use, and we have a complete trail and traceability. We also like the access control part."
"Stability is okay."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"Not all of the functionality, which is exposed by the command line interface (tf.exe) is available in the Visual Studio GUI."
"TFS and MTM have their own style of working and they are different from other tools like Jira or TestRail, which are simpler and easy to use."
"TFS on-premise does not support integration with SharePoint Online."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
"Microsoft should discontinue the use of SharePoint as I don’t really see any value add to TFS, document management features can be included in TFS web portal itself, if required!"
"I would like to see TFS improve its web interface as there are some limitations with IDs and the integration behind it and with open-source tools like VS Code."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
