"Visual Studio Test Professional's most valuable feature is the rich IDE for doing code and test development."

"One limitation of Selenium is that it is purely focused on web application testing."
"The documentation is limited."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"It is not good in terms of performance. When you open Visual Studio, you have to wait for a while to process your code. It uses a lot of resources and has a lot of features. If we could disable some of the features, it would be lighter and faster to use. Nowadays, for some of the projects, we use VS Code for JavaScript or Python. VS Code is very light and easy to use, whereas, in Visual Studio, we have to wait because it takes time to compile or run a project. It has a lot of competitors in terms of performance, such as Intelligent ID. Intelligent ID is very easy to use. It has many features, and it is lighter to use than Visual Studio. In terms of error handling, sometimes, it shows an error before you finish your code, which can be improved. It would be good if it has a version for Linux. I use VS Code on Linux, but I am not sure if Visual Studio has a version for Linux."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"Its UI could be better."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"The data flow can be improved."
