Find out what your peers are saying about OpenText, IDERA, Microsoft and others in Test Management Tools."Test migration from HPE are done automatically. We can extract our tests from HPE, and they convert it into the Panaya format."
"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 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."
"Provides better monitoring for testing campaigns and business process testing."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
"Version Control: TFS offers both the centralized “TFVC” version control technology as well as the distributed “Git” version control technology."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"It is easy to push our changes from quality to pre-prod and prod."
"The tool's installation is straightforward."
"I like the Kanban board. It is very useful in terms of seeing who is working on what and what the current status of work is."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is that it keeps the code secure while working collaboratively in a team of four or five individuals."
"They provide options for custom fields or tabs, but customization of workflows would be great."
"Support is reactive and in English only."
"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."
"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."
"Since the TFS was an on-prem solution, the private network accessibility was restricted."
"I would also like a true command prompt like Git."
"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."
"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!"
"Its pricing could be improved."
"The manageability and performance of the product are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"I only use 1% of the functionality, so I am not familiar enough to know what needs to be improved."
"The price could be cheaper."
