Offers unique object identification, ideal for UI layer regression automation but limited scalability
Our use case is mainly for UI layer regression test automation It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class. This is crucial because some controls in our application weren't recognized by other…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have a big team of people that can watch the dials and check that everything is okay. We're doing a lot of the monitoring of our website and our product at the side of the desk. We need a solution that does a lot for us, and that's what Eggplant does."
"We find the solution stable and scalable."
"It is not a conventional test automation tool. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) to identify objects. It makes it the best in the class."
"It's easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature has been the assertion as a test step as this has allowed us to increase the scope of testing and validation."
"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are the scripting tools and the connectivity to external data sources, such as Excel and PDF files. There are plenty of useful features that are useful, such as automating flexibility and usability. Overall, the solution is easy to use."
"The interface is ok and they have the ability to re-load tests so that you can reuse them."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run each version for test suites."
"This solution is very intuitive. Once you finish your first few testing cases, you can change several parameters and create lots of testing cases. You could use the same testing cases for different purposes such as automation, performance and screen testing."
"ReadyAPI's best features are that it's user-friendly and its behavior-driven development is flexible."
"A single platform for functional testing, load testing security, and service actualization."
 

Cons

"Performance is one key area for improvement. It can be slower compared to other tools I've used."
"I'd like to see the ability to integrate the user experience through device forms like AWS device forms or source labs."
"Version control does not work well."
"The reporting is not very robust and needs to be improved."
"ReadyAPI could improve by adding a conversion tool from one file type to another. Import support for multiple file types would be beneficial."
"The Property Transfer capability could be more user friendly because it is a bit difficult to understand."
"The initial setup could be less complex."
"Can be improved by including an inherent feature for UI automation."
"Lacking flexibility of adding more custom verification for security testing."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, mainly from the point of view of integrating ReadyAPI into the CI pipelines, and also the scripting aspect into Bitbucket."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is competitive in India."
"Eggplant came out as the most competitive in terms of commercials (terms and conditions) which was positive. When we did the initial negotiations, Eggplant started at a price but they were open to negotiations and we did negotiate a discount. That was really important to us because it showed a level of commitment to us."
"The cost of a license is probably around $1,000 to $2,000. Accounting is done by my leadership. I am more into implementations and making sure all things and processes are taken care of and the frameworks are maintained and managed."
"If I remember correctly, ReadyAPI costs between $5,000 to $7,000 for five thousand virtual users running it at a given point in time. Other tools, for example, Apache JMeter, can run millions of users at a given time. ReadyAPI is a tool that requires you to pay more money if you want more users to run it for performance testing. For functional testing, each ReadyAPI license costs $1,000, and you do get basic testing, and it's inclusive of one hundred users. In my company, if there's a need for more than one hundred users, my team uses Apache JMeter because it's futile to end up paying $5,000 or $6,000 annually just for performance testing, which can be done in Apache JMeter as well. Given the circumstances, my team does performance testing only towards the end of the fiscal year when the regulatory testing of applications takes place. If I have to run ReadyAPI just for two days or just for ten or fifteen odd days, then it's not worth paying $5,000 for the license with the small number of users provided by ReadyAPI."
"The solution is dynamically priced so you only pay for what you use."
"It costs approximately $200 000 Taiwan Dollars for three years."
"For each license, they charge the same amount, which is less than $1,000 for each desktop license."
"There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more."
"The price of the solution has been fine."
"ReadyAPI is moderately priced, with added costs for more plugins."
