Featured Reviews

Mirza Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rishabh-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology
Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has enabled true end-to-end testing."
"The best feature of Eggplant Test is that it's very easy to use; you just capture those pictures of the objects in your application and it's easy to automate."
"Prior to using the product, all regression testing was done manually for our POS system, and now regression test packs are 70% automated."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"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'."
"I love a good portion of this solution, the stand outs for me are the ability to read texts, and being able to automate anything you wish to do."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"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 do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."
"Overall, Oracle Application Testing Suite is very easy to use and you can create a good framework for developing and testing."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"I can organize test scripts pretty well."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"The function test feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"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 solution would crash from time to time."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The biggest issue I had was the crashing. You could be in the middle of setting up and writing up a nice little script and then it would crash."
"There was no free trial in it."
"A step forward would be to have event support; supporting different events."
"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."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."
"Room for improvement would be for the reporting features. If they could improve the dashboards, that would be helpful."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"I think that licensing policies could be more intuitive; when we installed this application for the first time, we couldn't understand why there were only two users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"It probably has a yearly license."
"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."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
