Static screenshots are the feature most often used, because they are a simple method of detecting problems

When developing new pages that have questionable functionality or coding, we will often use CBT to test it in a variety of browsers and devices. CBT works with our testing environment and development site. Our greatest concern is universal appearance and functionality, thus we test a great many…

Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability

I have used it to automate the sample e-commerce web There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When I started to work on testing automation, I was very excited about how easy it is to run tests on different browsers. It was just a matter of configuration."

"The ability to replay sessions is valuable for tracking down issues."

"With screenshots, I can quickly verify a page looks universally good in minutes."

"It has increased the speed of our regression testing."

"I can run a page through the screenshot tool, then send a URL with the results to my team."

"Each new session started with the live testing feature allows for a cleared browser and new experience to be able to not only see these attributes on the page clearly but also pass clean data."

"The screen shot portal is essential for an easy way to run tests across hundreds of browsers and retrieve screenshots which then indicate success or failure."

"The CrossBrowserTesting Selenium API and live test features have greatly improved our team's ability to quickly and effectively perform QA."

More CrossBrowserTesting pros

"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."

"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

"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."

"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."

"Good text reading ability."

"It is easy to set up."

More Eggplant Test pros

Cons

"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers."

"Being able to test on real devices via the virtual connection is wonderful, but it can cause some lag and load time issues while testing."

"Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up."

"I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on."

"There should be more detailed training on CrossBrowserTesting."

"This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices."

"It would be useful if we can run the live-testing test cases on multiple platforms at the same time, instead of waiting for one session to finish."

"The speed connection in mobile devices could be improved, because sometimes the load time is uncertain."

More CrossBrowserTesting cons

"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."

"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."

"It has low productivity."

"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."

"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."

"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."

"There was no free trial in it."

"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."

More Eggplant Test cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."

"The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."

"SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."

"It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."

"CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"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."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
