We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and Tricentis Tosca based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"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 solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"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."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The reporting is really nice."
"The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The item that is different from all the other tools is that it's module based."
"With one click, it will scan all the elements on the screen, so that the user can select the required elements for automation tests."
"The model-based scriptless automation is the most valuable feature because it needs less maintenance as compared to script-based automation."
"The low code is the best feature."
"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"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 In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis.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."
"It has low productivity."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"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."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"The product needs to improve object identification. The identify with properties and anchor methods work perfectly, while the by-index and image methods may face challenges."
"Tricentis Tosca’s technical support could be improved."
"It needs better integration with JIRA."
"Very difficult to get information about licensing costs."
"Their license management should be improved. One of our customers is a global customer. They want to use one licensed server and then split the licenses based on the different users of the different business units, but currently, there is only one license server that everybody can access. There is no control, and that's why sometimes congestion can happen."
"In terms of areas for improvement, Tricentis has a variety of tools, even its test management tool called qTest. Tricentis Tosca does have integration with different Tricentis tools, but the integration is geared towards a larger organization perspective. For very small organizations that have minimal licenses, the integration needs to be improvised. For example, I belong to a smaller organization that has only one license, so the capability that the tool provides for integration isn't sufficient because my company needs to have separate workspaces. When Tricentis Tosca is going to be running, it is going to use that license, but my company wants another separate workspace to record, relay, and test. This is what my team has been struggling with, and the mechanism is probably there, but that needs more time and investigation, so I can't say that I'm one hundred percent certain that Tricentis Tosca, in terms of integration for a smaller organization is insufficient. Another area for improvement is that Tricentis Tosca is currently just a Windows-based tool which affects the market because nowadays, Windows isn't the only operating system, for example, there's also Apple or IOS that's moving much faster than Windows."
"I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high."
"Parallel execution is not yet implemented for Tosca. This means you can't execute the same test case on multiple machines remotely."
