Tayyaba  Noreen - PeerSpot reviewer
Empowers effective test automation with comprehensive platform coverage and scalability
There was no free trial in it. So, I studied it through a page that tells how it works. It will be good if a free trial is provided for users. Moreover, I would like to give some feedback on the installation process. There are other tools that are much easier to install and get started with. Eggplant could improve its installation process.
Dheeraj Bavirisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing automation skills, intuitive, and low-code
We use Testim to automate our testing scripts. I am part of the testing team for a corporate bank in the US, which is my client. We work on building their product, and Testim is used to automate the scripts since it is a low-code automation platform The feature I like most about Testim is the…

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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"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."
"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."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"We added Testim to our CI flow. It allows us to test only tasks that already passed sanity tests."
"The product is easy to use."
"The ease of learning and the small learning curve allowed us to scale the test scripts and the test suite quickly."
"Testim introduces three services covering validation steps, eliminating the necessity to write complex code."
"I have seen reduced maintenance due to smart locators, as it automatically finds locators for us even with minor application changes."
"The automating smoke and regression tests have become easier and handier and manual efforts are saved."
"The REST API features allowed integrated testing for select products to quickly make calls and test the UIs with API calls while the CLI allows us to matrix the grid function across browsers."
"It is a highly stable solution."
 

Cons

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"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."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"It has low productivity."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"The product's areas of improvement include pricing considerations and additional features related to visual testing and PDF handling."
"Testim sometimes fails due to stability issues. It doesn't always work consistently, especially after running multiple tests."
"Faster scripting would be beneficial, as test creation is faster now."
"There were some issues in the product's initial setup phase in regard to the area of documentation since it wasn't very easy to understand everything mentioned in it."
"There are common properties between multiple elements that we should be able to edit - such as 'when this step fails,' 'when to run this step,' and 'override timeout'. I should be able to update these properties if I select multiple elements."
"There is currently no room for improvement that I can identify as of now."
"The UI could use a better design with a better user experience in mind."
"In the last couple of months, I have experienced some downtime where it wasn't working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"The tool offers a fixed pricing model for our company."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten compared to other tools."
