Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"TFS’s test management capability without the expensive licensing has large gaps. Users will be unable to access performance testing and coded UI testing capabilities."
"Complete integration with VS IDE and Office tools: This give us a possibility of high-level automation, thus minimizing human error."
"The interface is good with TFS."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"Stability is okay."
"The most valuable features of TFS are bug reporting and its high performance."
"It's an integrated system that includes all the information that we need to deliver our products smoothly and to track the progress of each piece of code."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"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."
"Overall, I think it would be useful to have something similar where Microsoft comes up with supporting concepts of scaling Agile in TFS so that clients don't have to look for a separate tool."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
"I understand Microsoft is phasing out TFS in favor of Git, so I would steer anyone interested in TFS to look into Git."
"In the next release, I would like them to include integration for various projects, similar to what JIRA has, and they could create this feature on the dashboard."
"Since the TFS was an on-prem solution, the private network accessibility was restricted."
"The user interface could improve and test management was not useful in TFS."
