Featured Reviews

AnandKrishnani

Manager in Quality and Processes at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Action words streamline test case management and boost integration with project tools

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. Moreover, CucumberStudio's support for code integrations and API calls is excellent. The platform provides the benefit of unlimited read-only accounts, enabling various roles like engineers and product managers to review test cases and results. The structure of CucumberStudio is also commendable, as it supports BDD style Gherkin syntax, which is useful for our test management processes.

Mirza Hussain

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

Pros

"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."

More CucumberStudio pros

"GUI testing is the strength of the tool, we have been satisfied with the tool, and not only the tool, but the service behind it, as the tool works as expected and the response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."

"We took a two and a half week regression process and cut it down to almost two days of automation, which is pretty awesome and makes Eggplant probably one of the best tools on the market for GUI automation."

"It is easy to set up."

"The solution is a stable one."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

"It has enabled true end-to-end testing."

"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."

More Eggplant Test pros

Cons

"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."

"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."

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

"More tutorials and examples."

"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."

"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."

"The reporting aspect can be improved."

More CucumberStudio cons

"eggPlants data input is text based and does not easily conform to data driven test, and this makes data management painful."

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"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."

"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."

"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."

"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"It probably has a yearly license."
