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.

The tool reduces the manual effort needed and helps automate certain tasks for users

I won't be able to comment on what could be improved in the solution since I am not the one who handles LambdaTest. It is our company's IT team that takes care of LambdaTest. Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis. If something is perfect, it doesn't mean that it doesn't need to improvise or improve, like in terms of adding new features. There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."

"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 did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."

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

"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 most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."

"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."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

More Eggplant Test pros

"Geolocation testing is as straightforward as ticking checkboxes of browsers, operating systems, and countries."

"LambdaTest supports multiple platforms like iOS across different devices and enables real-time testing."

"The slow nature of a cloud platform was compensated with parallel testing, and now we are able to finish our testing job faster than it was before COVID."

"This product offers out-of-the-box geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"

"HyperExecute adds significant speed to execution, enhancing the overall testing process."

"LambdaTest offers geolocation testing in automation, which is amazing!"

"Automation and mobile testing have improved our efficiency."

"The UI is pretty clean and easy to navigate, and we were able to figure it out very quickly."

More LambdaTest pros

Cons

"It has low productivity."

"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."

"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."

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

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

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."

More Eggplant Test cons

"The execution reporting can be improved for better integration between automation execution and accessibility platform reporting."

"Mobile application testing will be an added benefit for us if LambdaTest implements this really soon."

"The analytics over the automation dashboard can be more intuitive."

"The tool can improve its testing speed. Changing or switching to another mobile phone can be very slow on a real device."

"We get logged out of the devices if there is some inactivity."

"There is scope for improvement in service account usage, LDAP integration, and adapting new devices and features."

"If possible to simulate the finger pinch, it would make it more realistic."

"I've also had some issues with the speed of certain API calls and the rendering of data. For example, when I'm onboarding data, the process can be slow."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"LambdaTest is on the cloud, offers both free and paid plans which start at $19 USD per month."

"This is an affordable product."

"I used the product for free."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."

"It is affordable as compared to similar SaaS solutions."

"LambdaTest is priced well, which is why we migrated to it."

"The pricing could be made cheaper."

"The pricing for LambdaTest is affordable, and one of the reasons we implemented it."
