Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are two versions of Visual Studio Test Professional: Community and Professional. We are currently using the Community version, but if we start working on a commercial product, we will consider upgrading to the Professional version. We need to identify how we will proceed with our projects, and based on that, we will decide on our licensing."
"For the cloud services option, you buy a subscription per account or per user. This costs around $52 a month per person."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is not an expensive solution."
"Our company pays a yearly licensing fee for Visual Studio Test Professional."
"We pay for the solution annually and the price could be reduced."

Overview

IBM Rational Policy Tester audits websites for issues impacting compliance and effectiveness. Policy Tester drives significant cost out of the online operation by automating manual processes and identifying and prioritizing issues for immediate resolution.
Visual Studio Professional Edition provides an IDE for all supported development languages. As of Visual Studio 2010, the Standard edition was dropped. MSDN support is available as MSDN Essentials or the full MSDN library depending on licensing. It supports XML and XSLT editing, and can create deployment packages that only use ClickOnce and MSI. It includes tools like Server Explorer and integration with Microsoft SQL Server also. Windows Mobile development support was included in Visual Studio 2005 Standard, however, with Visual Studio 2008, it is only available in Professional and higher editions. Windows Phone 7 development support was added to all editions in Visual Studio 2010. Development for Windows Mobile is no longer supported in Visual Studio 2010; it is superseded by Windows Phone 7.
