Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Instead of Telerik Test Studio, I'd recommend writing test cases in .Net so that in the future, if you move away from Telerik Test Studio to another tool, it would be easier for you. Your current code would be reusable. You won't have to change your test cases much.

We wrote our code in a separate IDE, which was Visual Studio, and internally, we had the infrastructure to interact with Telerik Test Studio. All the internal logic that we needed for our purpose was implemented in .NET, and we used Telerik Test Studio for tests.

I'd rate Telerik Test Studio an eight out of ten.

I used Telerik Test Studio with another person in my previous company, so two people used the tool at the time.

Telerik Test Studio did help me a lot to understand automation and to get a sense of automation. In my company, I started working on Katalon, which I felt had a similar approach to Telerik Test Studio. I think having worked with Telerik Test Studio was advantageous, so I would recommend it to beginners. It may not be as beneficial to well-experienced users, but Telerik Test Studio has many advantages for beginners like me.

I'd ask first-time users of the tool if they've used other automation tools. If you used Selenium or another tool, it would be easy for you to use Telerik Test Studio, especially as it's a record-and-play solution. This is a perfect tool for a beginner who aims to start with automation. This is an ideal tool; you can even level up after learning more about Telerik Test Studio.

I'm rating the tool as eight out of ten because it did help a lot in progressing my career and getting the essence of automation. I also learned API testing from Telerik Test Studio, and I'm currently doing a lot of API testing with Postman, a solution similar to Telerik Test Studio. Everything is accessible on the tool, including UI, elements, and detection. It doesn't require a very high level of coding, so Telerik Test Studio makes life easier, at least from my perspective.

My previous company was a Telerik customer.

I rate this product a seven out of ten. The product is good but it can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it eight out of ten.
