"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"Good text reading ability."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems."
"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"The ability to quickly make your own components has been valuable."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"Visual Studio is an exemplary integrated development environment that stands out due to its exceptional features. It allows for the seamless selection of the appropriate programming language for the specific development tasks at hand. This facilitates a swift and effortless transition between languages, providing a highly efficient development experience."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"The most valuable feature is the in-built support for C# and .NET projects."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"It has low productivity."

"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."

"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"Sometimes, the product is too complex to use."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
"The data flow can be improved."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"The performance could be faster."
