Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Deepak Digar. - PeerSpot reviewer
Increases productivity compared to other tools
The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better. Building an automation test case from manual cases is easy, but sometimes we feel the process can get lengthy because we cannot create customized functions and the predefined ones are unsuitable for the particular purpose. We need to do a workaround that involves extra steps. I am unsure how UiPath will help with complex processes because they typically have multiple layers of various technologies. It also depends on the data synchronization. For example, if I have posted something in the front end, how long does it take to be reflected in the back end? That also matters because it's passing through different layers. End-to-end automation will be a little bit tricky because there are multiple front-end and back-end software involved. It is easy for either front-end or back-end testing. If we include the back end and front end to create an end-to-end scenario, it will be difficult because sometimes there are different databases and layers connected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"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 provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"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."
"Good text reading ability."
"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine."
"What I like most about UiPath Test Suite is that it's straightforward, and any user who knows how to use the UiPath Studio can learn how to create a test script in as fast as thirty minutes. There's nothing new you must learn to use UiPath Test Suite because it only has three sections: Given, Then, and When."
"The console, in a single pane, allows us to understand where we are in the testing environment."
"In terms of integration with other lifecycle tools and applications, UiPath Test Suite works very well because of the basis of RPA, and how RPA and automation can handle different applications and different areas of expertise."
"UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications."
"The Test Manager, the final stage of the UiPath Test Suite, is its most valuable feature."
"It has reduced all the deployment cycles of the automation solutions by forty percent."
"We are finding bugs and defects much faster."
 

Cons

"Since there are very few customers in the Indian region, there is no training available, and it's challenging to find skilled talent."
"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."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"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."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"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."
"We have output arguments in the workflow. We can check results only by using those arguments. It would be better to have some more options, such as screen variables. For example, in a workflow, if we want to check if an activity is present inside, we should be able to get the output to UiPath Test Suite through the activity itself. That would be great for testing."
"We are facing problems specifically with Desk Manager."
"The product releases sometimes have issues."
"I don't rate its ability to automate very well."
"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."
"UiPath’s Test Suite manual testing doesn’t work for our organization based on how the QA Analysts do their manual testing and the artifacts that are needed for deployment."
"With Selenium, there is a plugin called Healenium, which helps automatically detect changed properties of objects. With one click, it automatically updates the object repository with the changed properties. I would like UiPath to add that capability."
"The test manager component could be improved."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Its price is a bit high."
"The cost of a UiPath Test Suite license for five users is over $10,000 USD."
"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
"It is a little bit more expensive than Selenium, but it provides value for money. There are multiple types of licenses such as the Test Suite license, Studio Pro license, Test Manager license, and Test Robot license. The overall cost estimation is 13,800 dollars."
"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
"I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
