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 optimization technique helps in giving us the minimum number of test cases with maximum coverage."
"Measuring test coverage helps in one of the most challenging tasks. It has logic that can help to select the right set of scenarios and know what coverage it will provide."
"Helps the communication between the testing organization and the requirements group. It helps us to simplify the work. Instead of dealing with individual test cases, you're working with a model."
"Defects can be traced in the solution."
"The support that we get from Broadcom is great."
"It takes away all the time to construct test cases, so it is all automatic now, but it also levels the playing field."
"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."
"It's user friendly. We haven't had any issues so far. It's flexible. If we need something, we can always contact the owner in our headquarters to make a configuration."
"Build definitions and releases within the product. allow us to put our latest applications in the field."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"Version Control: TFS offers both the centralized “TFVC” version control technology as well as the distributed “Git” version control technology."
"The most valuable features are test case writing and bug tracking."
"Basically, the capacity to construct various products is something I find handy."
"Stability is okay."
"The most valuable feature is the backlog."
"Broadcom Agile Requirements Designer could improve the UI. Other solutions have a much better UI. The new UI should have a new modern framework."
"They do not have an engine to house test scripts to really pull together the testing pieces of it."
"CA ARD doesn't provide integration with Tosca. The possibility of creating a test case and exporting it into Tosca is not available. Integration with end-to-end automation tools, like Worksoft or Tosca, is not provided by CA ARD as of now."
"The solution could be more user-friendly. For example, attachments could be icon-based to make it easier for the user to notice them."
"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."
"The solution could improve security and authentication."
"Data flexibility is something which I would like to see, along with more integration with App Test."
"Integration with Agile management tools can be improved, i.e., mainly test case maintenance and linking test cases to the automation script."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"The user interface could improve and test management was not useful in TFS."
"The dashboard and the customization of dashboards is an area they have to work on."
"Microsoft should discontinue the use of SharePoint as I don’t really see any value add to TFS, document management features can be included in TFS web portal itself, if required!"
"In the next release, I would like them to include integration for various projects, similar to what JIRA has, and they could create this feature on the dashboard."
"I only use 1% of the functionality, so I am not familiar enough to know what needs to be improved."
"This solution is quite old and it is already being bundled as Azure DevOps Server."
"I'd like to see some kind of visualization tool for TFS that would make life much easier."
