Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Has required frequent manual adjustments due to screen resolution but supports simple automation with minimal effort

I would prefer more UFT because it has VB scripting capabilities. While Eggplant Test also has this feature, it's not very user-friendly. I prefer the features of UFT compared to Eggplant Test. When needing to do quick automation, I would prefer Eggplant Test, but otherwise, I would always choose UFT. It depends on the complexity of the tasks. For big problems and complex automation tasks, I would prefer UFT because it has more flexibility and is more effective. With Eggplant Test, if you have very low complexity automation, such as simple click sequences and validation, then it would be preferable; with more complexity, I would not recommend Eggplant Test.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."

"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."

"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."

"The solution is stable."

"Eggplant Test is valuable due to its OCR technology, which is independent of underlying technologies and can identify applications based on labels such as 'username' and 'password'."

"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."

"The biggest advantage has been the ability to improve the quality significantly."

"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."

"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 most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."

"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."

"Good text reading ability."

Cons

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"I would like to see better customer support."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."

"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."

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

"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"There was no free trial in it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It probably has a yearly license."

"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."

"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."

"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."
