Featured Reviews

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.

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Clicking playback and detecting application needs improves functionality

There are complaints about not detecting all objects in the browser. I have to check and verify, and sometimes I have to bypass certain steps, which is a problem. I need to check the solution to understand why it's too detailed to detect or think of the browser. I use Chrome. Sometimes in Chrome, it doesn't detect certain elements in the web application. That's the problem. Also, when I run tests, I cannot export different types of logs in the same document. When I run different tests, it provides different logs, and these logs cannot be put in the same document. I have to compile them manually. Additionally, the tool can manage WinRamp scripts. I would say SilkTest also allows me to run tests, and I can challenge the sequencing, but it doesn't always do this correctly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"It has definitely improved the quality of our software."

"The solution is a stable one."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."

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

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

More Eggplant Test pros

"Cross browser testing and the ability to perform mobile test automation mean you do not need to buy two different solutions for mobile and web channels separately."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."

"Ranorex is more up-to-date and provides more support for testing."

"The scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

"It is easy to install and use, the user interface is very good, and we moved onto this one as it provided an all-in-one solution for web, mobile, and multi-technology product testing where our previous tool failed."

"We went with Ranorex due to its relative ease of use, and its support for automating desktop/WPF applications out of the box."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"The features I find most valuable is the automatic remapping of aliases because it is really helpful."

"There are a lot of features in this tool, making it more complete with click and playback and proper things, and it is very effective for detecting breaks and also for verifying the needs of the application before deploying it or when introducing a new product."

"I like that it offers internal methods for supported controls. It is very easy to code the tests. Object Spy is also a good feature."

"It is very effective for detecting breaks and also for verifying the needs of the application before deploying it or when introducing a new product."

"The features I find most valuable is the automatic remapping of aliases, because it is really helpful."

"I like that it offers internal methods for supported controls, it is very easy to code the tests, and Object Spy is also a good feature."

Cons

"We were not able to write code as fast as with the competing open-source software, so that needs to be improved."

"It has low productivity."

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

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

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application, it almost gives you the impression that the application was written in Java Swing."

"Its performance and stability could be better."

"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."

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

More Eggplant Test cons

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved. We have found that when you are selecting objects by moving the mouse, and then the position of these objects change in the newer versions of the application, the test tool fails to correctly identify them."

"It's the biggest drawback of Ranorex that it's limited to one operating system."

"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."

"Running the tool in a distributed environment was a challenge since Ranorex requires an active user session."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"We are mainly working for manufacturing OEMs but the integration is not available. It would be a benefit if they built one integration tool for all the Teamcenter home servers and software as the main PLM data source. It is a simple process at this time, the integration could be made easier."

"They need to improve their support of different web browsers along with Flash support."

"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"We have three test runs for 60 tests and the first time it's green, the second time one fails and so on. It is not consistent, but this problem occurs also because some of the controls are not fully supported by TestComplete."

"It is very difficult to use the aliases on old software."

"There are complaints about not detecting all objects in the browser."

"There are complaints about not detecting all objects in the browser. Sometimes in Chrome, it doesn't detect certain elements in the web application."

"It is very difficult to use the aliases on old software, which hasn't been designed for us to test out."

"The mapping is pretty complicated because there are a lot of controls that are the same and if you have a long name with the object mapping it is easy to get confused."

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."

"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."

"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."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"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."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
