Incredibly useful for our mobile testing needs, including integrations

For my project, we utilize a VPN and BrowserStack for testing. This allows me to test our website across various browsers and platforms, including different versions of iOS, Android, and web browsers. It ensures that our website functions correctly across different environments and devices…

Effective OCR technology, useful bug hunting, and plenty of documentation

Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence is the market leader in AI automation. They independently worked across every technology. My approach while identifying the tool to use is simple. If you want to see the performance, and you want to improve productivity, then it would be best to choose the commercial tool. If you don't want to improve productivity and want to stay on the same line, it is best to use an open-source solution, such as Selenium. Selenium requires skilled people to use it. Which is very difficult to find in the market at this time. Additionally, it requires a lot of time for maintenance. To reduce all these costs, you should choose a commercial tool. My advice to others is to understand the solution very well. Understand your use cases and try to fit them. It is important to see whether your use cases fit into the tool which you are looking for and based on that you can go ahead and use it. I rate Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BrowserStack has lots of devices to choose from."

"The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing."

"BrowserStack's best feature is browser testing across different platforms, including mobile."

"The most valuable features are the variety of tools available."

"I like that it offers full device capability."

"The most valuable feature is the variety the solution offers around the different types of devices, especially mobile devices."

"The main core concept behind this product is, it takes the overhead of maintaining all of your devices or particular computers. It continuously adds the latest devices that are coming into the market."

"Local testing for products with no public exposure is an advantage in development."

More BrowserStack pros

"The solution is a stable one."

"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."

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

"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."

"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."

"Good text reading ability."

"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."

More Eggplant Test pros

Cons

"We are struggling to do local testing."

"We are having difficulty with the payment system for the BrowserStack team, as they only accept credit cards and we are encountering some issues."

"I haven't seen AI in BrowserStack, making it in an area where improvements are required in the product."

"BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally."

"The solution is slow."

"Connectivity can sometimes mar the testing experience."

"There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required."

"BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster."

More BrowserStack cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."

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

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."

"It has low productivity."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution costs less than competing products."

"Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."

"As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."

"My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."

"The price is fine."

"The price of BrowserStack is high."

"There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."

"BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a 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."

"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."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"It probably has a yearly license."
