As of Test Studio R1 2021 SP2, scheduled for May 18, the Visual Studio plugin of Test Studio will not be supported on Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013.
Based on customer feedback and product usage, we plan to focus our efforts on supporting modern technologies and toolsets. To ensure flawless support for the latest frameworks and Visual Studio capabilities, we will terminate support for Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013.
As of Test Studio R1 2021 SP2, scheduled for May 18, the Visual Studio plugin of Test Studio will not be supported on Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013.
Test Studio’s Visual Studio plugin will continue supporting Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and any new version of Visual Studio that gets officially released.
Users with Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 will be able to use any build released before Test Studio R1 2021 SP2 with Visual Studio 2012 and 2013. Any build after R1 2021 SP2 will not support Visual Studio 2012 and 2013. If you are currently using the Test Studio plugin for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 and choose not to update to a newer Test Studio release, you may continue using it.
This change is not going to affect in any way Test Studio's standalone IDE.

Iliyan is a Senior Product Manager at Progress, responsible for the Telerik testing solutions, including Test Studio and JustMock. In the mid ’00s, he started his career in software development as a game tester because he loves video games, and
eventually he realized that breaking software is fun. He believes that a good Quality Assurance Engineer should be involved in all phases of the software development process. Iliyan, now as a Product Manager, has a new objective—to relieve the
QA engineer of the challenges associated with test automation and help them have more pleasant and rewarding workdays.
