It allows significant expansion of test coverage and flexibility, without creating new tests and needing to maintain them."
"It gives us an idea of creating the visual diagrams, which are quite easy to use. It is helpful in creating our business processes."
"In terms of meeting business challenges, it helped to shorten the dev/testing cycle by identifying requirements gaps early in the process, by having models shared within the development team. It helped increase test coverage and reduce the number of issues experienced by clients/customers."
"The support that we get from Broadcom is great."
"The modeling is a game-changer."
"The scale possibilities are endless, especially when combined with all the other products that CA has to offer."
"It helped us to move from manual testing to automation testing."
"The optimization technique helps in giving us the minimum number of test cases with maximum coverage."
"The most valuable feature has been to store all our packages in one place including SSIS packages, SQL tables, TFS and SSR."
"The most valuable features are the SSIS reports, the deployment models, and the ability to interact with other Microsoft tools."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Visual Studio Test Professional's most valuable feature is the rich IDE for doing code and test development."
"The setup is easy and straightforward."
"One of the best documentation in the world."
"It's great for the development of .NET."
"Visual Studio is highly powerful. It's probably the best software development tool on the market."
"Integration with Agile management tools can be improved, i.e., mainly test case maintenance and linking test cases to the automation script."
"I think it's already coming, but it needs more automation aspects. There is a tab for Automation, but I think it's not robust. I think that it's going to be a crucial element of the tool."
"Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer could improve the UI. Other solutions have a much better UI. The new UI should have a new modern framework."
"At present, there is no option for test data parameters from ARD for virtual databases. We have to create them in TDM and push them as well. Virtual database connectivity needs to be improved. They need to come up with some areas where they can create synthetic data parameters easily from the test cases that have been designed."
"The solution could improve security and authentication."
"Needs improvement in aligning models so they look clear and readable without having to move boxes around."
"A template in App Test should be created in advance. This has proven to be time consuming. The process is not fully automated, because there is a lot of manual intervention is required."
"Data flexibility is something which I would like to see, along with more integration with App Test."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."
"The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user."
"The performance could be faster."
"The product must provide more integration."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
