Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it to streamline our testing for the .net framework and our ansible roles molecule testing. It efficiently executed those and even helped us track potential bugs. Most of its use in our organization is for testing workflows and integration with Azure DevOps to align them with development cycles, organizing workflows in one place.

Pros

  • One of the best things is that it supports both manual and automated testing.
  • Along with the execution of tests, the tester can even view whether their tests pass or fail.
  • Multiple testers or developers can collaborate with each other through shared dashboards, allowing them to stay on track.

Cons

  • Although it is good for .net Windows-based apps, its support for mobile applications is minimal.
  • Most organizations today don't use Azure DevOps, which is flexible. Support with GitHub action would help.
  • Lags when performing on heavy projects and hangs a lot.

Return on Investment

  • Our release went positively this month; it wiped out around 20% percent of issues if compared to the last release.
  • The reusable test cases increased our bandwidth for work and reduced the testing time, due to which our deliverables were on time.
  • The licensing fee for 10 members is 12,000 usd , which is way higher and underutilised.

Pros

  • Test scenarios in the SDLC process can be easily applied to the Visual Studio Test tool.
  • It works compatible with Microsoft Windows Server and database.
  • The debug screen of the Visual Studio Test product is quite successful. It allows you to quickly access the details of the error received.

Cons

  • The user community of the Visual Studio Test product is weak. For instant problems with this product, it is necessary to quickly reach the source of the error.
  • Licence fees need to be more reasonable. License prices need to be reduced so that they can easily compete with free testing tools.

Return on Investment

  • The process of developing testing processes is quite convenient. Compatibility with Microsoft products makes it easier for us to work.
  • The end user interface needs to be more practical and simple. Also, hotkeys need to be more functional.
