Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is code coverage."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"It's is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"I like the build management features and the integration with Jenkins and many other tools."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are related to source code management. Using TFS for source code management and being able to branch and have multiple developers work on the same projects is valuable. We can also branch and merge code back together."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"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."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
"Integration from Visual Studio could be improved."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"I would like to see the reporting features expanded so that I can see details on the users connected to all of the projects."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"Currently, we are looking for a solution with which we can incorporate third-party development sites or third-party project teams into the system. Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system. A cloud-based solution would be better for us, and that's what we are looking for. Our biggest problem is the external connection, which, of course, is limited by our own IT. It would be good to have some kind of publishing service for this external connection. It might be there, and it might be that our IT is making it impossible for us. Its template editor could be easier to use. Currently, customizing the project templates according to your needs requires some work."
"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."
