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

"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."

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

"Good text reading ability."

"It is easy to set up."

"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

"DAI's newest release allows us to test via scripts rather than models, because we have done 95 percent of our development in functional, not through modeling. I am really happy that then we can use the controller to run scripts rather than having to translate things to models. There are lots of options."

More Eggplant Test pros

"The setup is easy and straightforward."

"The tool is flexible and easy to manage. We use it since it is scalable and easy to use. It integrates with solutions."

"One of the best documentation in the world."

"The stability has always been very good."

"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."

"It is a good and user-friendly tool."

"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."

"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."

Cons

"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."

"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 In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis.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."

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"It has low productivity."

"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

"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."

"I would like to see more integration in the solution."

"The documents on the Microsoft website are not very useful, and they ought to make it easier to find answers."

"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."

"Visual Studio Test Professional is a little pricey."

"The product must provide more automation."

"Its UI could be better."

"Visual Studio Test Professional could improve by having better integration with external databases."

More Visual Studio Test Professional cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"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."

"There are two versions of Visual Studio Test Professional: Community and Professional. We are currently using the Community version, but if we start working on a commercial product, we will consider upgrading to the Professional version. We need to identify how we will proceed with our projects, and based on that, we will decide on our licensing."

"We use the solution’s community version, and the solution’s pricing could be cheaper."

"I think that the pricing is quite good."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Visual Studio Test Professional, which is expensive."

"We pay for the solution annually and the price could be reduced."

"We have licensing for Visual Studio Community edition."

"The pricing is expensive."

"Visual Studio Test Professional is a very expensive solution."

Visual Studio Professional Edition provides an IDE for all supported development languages. As of Visual Studio 2010, the Standard edition was dropped. MSDN support is available as MSDN Essentials or the full MSDN library depending on licensing. It supports XML and XSLT editing, and can create deployment packages that only use ClickOnce and MSI. It includes tools like Server Explorer and integration with Microsoft SQL Server also. Windows Mobile development support was included in Visual Studio 2005 Standard, however, with Visual Studio 2008, it is only available in Professional and higher editions. Windows Phone 7 development support was added to all editions in Visual Studio 2010. Development for Windows Mobile is no longer supported in Visual Studio 2010; it is superseded by Windows Phone 7.
