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.

Increases productivity compared to other tools
The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better. Building an automation test case from manual cases is easy, but sometimes we feel the process can get lengthy because we cannot create customized functions and the predefined ones are unsuitable for the particular purpose. We need to do a workaround that involves extra steps. I am unsure how UiPath will help with complex processes because they typically have multiple layers of various technologies. It also depends on the data synchronization. For example, if I have posted something in the front end, how long does it take to be reflected in the back end? That also matters because it's passing through different layers. End-to-end automation will be a little bit tricky because there are multiple front-end and back-end software involved. It is easy for either front-end or back-end testing. If we include the back end and front end to create an end-to-end scenario, it will be difficult because sometimes there are different databases and layers connected.

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 would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"Good text reading ability."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is a stable one."
"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."
"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."
"We also don't develop test robots like typing codes; we program them with drag-and-drop features."
"We could use it for Oracle and SAP and it did help significantly."
"We can generate our own workflow. In our case, it is a report on the PDF file. In the reporting category, we generally verify a couple of things and generate a lot of reports at the end of the day. It provides some useful details about the data captured from the PDF that we can put into an Excel file."
"The document understanding is good."
"UiPath's most valuable features are reusability and low-code aspects. It works across both desktop and web applications."
"It's effective at testing whatever automation we've built or making sure the automation we've built is working fine."
"It facilitates the delegation of control to multiple users and offers an efficient way to organize tasks using labels."
"The detailed logging is invaluable."
 

Cons

"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"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."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"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."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"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."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"I don't rate its ability to automate very well."
"UiPath could further enhance its functionality by simplifying the test case creation process within Test Suite."
"UiPath needs to improve its Test Manager feature. Defect management and reporting also need improvement."
"The reporting could be improved. Often, we need to email a report to higher management, we can directly get the report from there. Also, the error reporting could be better."
"The test manager component could be improved."
"The pricing isn't as low as other options."
"I'd like the solution to be even more automated."
"At FORWARD VI, we see new automations being built around AI and the ability to have developers understand how they can drive some of those AI capabilities with Studio. We are starting to see that. They should also drive that with UiPath Test Suite so that we can not only build that development side faster; we can also develop the tests that go along with it, hopefully automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"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."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"One robot license costs 1,500 euros."
"Regarding the pricing model, I believe it would be beneficial to combine it with some of the other platform aspects."
"I am not aware of the exact cost. It seems reasonable, but it is an additional cost."
"UiPath Test Suite is a cost-effective solution. Orchestrator is the most expensive UiPath module, costing around $20,000, but you don't need to purchase Orchestrator to use Test Suite. You can buy a nonproductive version that costs about $2,400. It's a better value than other products I've seen."
"I wasn't involved in the negotiations for the UiPath Test Suite, so I have no information on its pricing."
"It represents good value for the investment."
"I don't necessarily have a problem with the pricing of the UiPath Test Suite, especially because we're using the testing bot licenses as opposed to the unattended licensing."
"When we decided to buy the solution three and a half years ago, it was fairly priced."
