Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. This tool is a complete OCR. Conventional tools like OpenText rely on object properties, which may not be as powerful as Eggplant's OCR and Vuforia recognition. I'd like to see a tool that combines both approaches. Performance and recognition are better with object identification, but for the unrecognized ones, a supplemental technology could help. Relying solely on OCR can impact script performance.
What I would say to someone who is not using Eggplant Performance and who says, "We already have ways to test key, peak load scenarios," from my experience, if you've got any concerns about your current software, and certainly its usability and ease of use, leaving commercials aside, definitely give Eggplant a try. It's a huge business with enormous customers. The support is incredibly good, the commercials are competitive, and my experience has been a really positive one. To anybody who is in my position, I would tell them that I can relax knowing that I've got a good software doing a lot of this stuff for me. It's an absolutely spot-on solution. On a scale of one to 10, it's a really strong eight. Because we are not using it to its fullest capability right now there are other features and capabilities in the system that we've just not used to date. That's just because we are not ready to use them, rather than that Eggplant can't do so. Until I've really understood how those other aspects perform, I wouldn't want to give anything higher.

We've been asked to expand testing into nine traditional test automation areas. We're looking at the automation of wellness devices, such as physical watches or robotics, which Eggplant supports. We utilize a combination of everything Eggplant. That includes Eggplant Functional, Eggplant 50 AI, and Eggplant Performance. Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten. I would strongly recommend that organizations use the AI capability that comes with Eggplant now. I'm talking primarily from the Eggplant Functional point of view. It's been a revelation to us in terms of its ability to assist us in exploratory testing and to integrate with our current model-driven architecture. We use a solution from Sparx Systems called Enterprise Architect, and we're able to directly integrate the model from Enterprise Architect with Eggplant through its AI engine.
What are performance testing tools? Before an application can be deployed, it should ideally be tested under different operating conditions to make sure it can perform as expected. To do this, software testing professionals use performance testing tools (sometimes just called “testing tools”) to isolate and identify potential client, network, and server bottlenecks that might affect how an application will behave in production.
Some performance test products are commercial....
