Cons
"I don't like that you need to use a lot of tabs. One test case takes 15-20 minutes and on Zephyr is take about 5-10 minutes.""Lacking visual gadgets that go on a dashboard, pie charts, bar charts and histograms.""They should work on integrating the solution with AI."

More Adaptavist Test Management for Jira Cons →

"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best.""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.""The solution can improve the startup time.""The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution.""The database administration could be better; you should be able to choose new tools with the development environment in Visual Studio. It could be easier to use.""The product must provide more integration.""In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line.""Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement."
