Effective OCR technology, useful bug hunting, and plenty of documentation
Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence is the market leader in AI automation. They independently worked across every technology. My approach while identifying the tool to use is simple. If you want to see the performance, and you want to improve productivity, then it would be best to choose the commercial tool. If you don't want to improve productivity and want to stay on the same line, it is best to use an open-source solution, such as Selenium. Selenium requires skilled people to use it. Which is very difficult to find in the market at this time. Additionally, it requires a lot of time for maintenance. To reduce all these costs, you should choose a commercial tool. My advice to others is to understand the solution very well. Understand your use cases and try to fit them. It is important to see whether your use cases fit into the tool which you are looking for and based on that you can go ahead and use it. I rate Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence an eight out of ten.

Very good performance and load testing capabilities
Our company uses the solution for performance and automation testing.  The solution is very helpful for media and visual studio. We have a legacy application related to healthcare products in the hospital management industry. We create a lot of smart objects using Microsoft Objects. For usability…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"It is easy to set up."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"Good text reading ability."
"The performance and load testing are very good."
"Has a very smooth process for launching and closing the application after execution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the font, size, and interface."
"Before using Telerik Test Studio, I was a manual tester, so it was my first automation tool, yet I felt very comfortable using it. I've used the record and play feature, and Telerik Test Studio was easy to use. The tool was easy to understand, even for a first-time user like me."
"The way it identifies elements is good."
 

Cons

"There was no free trial in it."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"Its UI is not very user-friendly and could be improved. For new users, it isn't easy."
"It can be improved by including a feature that allows multiple file types to be selected simultaneously."
"I observed that the Excel and Word validation was quite challenging, which is an area for improvement in the tool. I also experienced minor difficulties with Telerik Test Studio, particularly in fetching elements in some scenarios when using C# for coding."
"The charts need to be more detailed and customizable."
"There are some compatibility issues with the load standpoint test."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It probably has a yearly license."
"End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
"Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
"This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
"The pricing is fair so I rate it an eight out of ten."
