“By having SmartVisio4TFS calculate scenarios for us, then generate test cases automatically and publish them to our TFS testing environment, we were able to reduce our UAT efforts by 50%.”
Danielle Stickler, Lead IT Account Manager, Flight Safety International
“I’ve had LOTS of items I needed to add, delete and modify in a group of 8-12 PBIs for a project. By doing it in SmartWord4TFS it takes a tiny fraction of
the time as it does in TFS, where you have to open up each PBI separately.”
