I searched for a topic discussing this to add my remarks...

There are a few worldwide organizations that are testing anti-virus and anti-malware software, such as these:

amtso, av-comparatives, av-test, virusbtn

While I prefer Avast, there are others that are promoted as being stronger in heuristics.

I continue using Avast, however I use virustotal when in doubt about a specific file. Now there is an easy option to submit suspicious files to the AV Lab through Avast UI.

Is there is an ongoing development for improving heuristics in Avast? 

Apart from the benefits of heuristics, I dislike false positives. Greetings.

I think you are going off-topic there
