Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability

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 that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.

A tool that provides effective test management and real-time reporting capabilities

I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira where the status of tests is not displayed (in Jira) due to I suspect security settings on the browser. In a large corporate environment, it is not easily changed. The support wasn't particularly helpful. It would be great if I could create custom reports, ideally with a tool designed specifically for that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."

"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 features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."

"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."

"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'."

"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."

"The solution is a stable one."

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

More Eggplant Test pros

"The product helps us create test cases and reports."

"Integration with Confluence and JIRA."

"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."

"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."

"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."

"I use the product to create test cases and share them with my team and manager."

"I use the solution for test management."

"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."

More TestRail pros

Cons

"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."

"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."

"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."

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

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"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."

"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."

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

More Eggplant Test cons

"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."

"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."

"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."

"The reports should be more user-friendly."

"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."

"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."

"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."

"Better prediction of text."

More TestRail cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"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."

"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."

"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."

"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."

"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."

"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."

"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."

"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."

"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."

"I give the price a five out of ten."
