Find out in this report how the two Test Management Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is a stable one."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"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."
"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."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"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."
"Good text reading ability."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"Visual Studio Test Professional is a scalable solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"What I like most about Visual Studio Test Professional is the way people publish templates and publish integration."
"The user interface is very friendly."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"The whole suite is made for .NET development."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"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 In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis.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."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"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."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"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."
"The price could be improved."
"The pricing of this solution should be lowered."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"Over the years, I haven't identified any specific enhancements that I desire; Visual Studio has consistently met my requirements seamlessly and flawlessly."
"Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement."
"The documentation is limited."
"Its UI could be better."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
