We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and TestRail based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"It is easy to set up."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"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."
"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."
"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."
"The product helps us create test cases and reports."
"From a testing perspective, the management is awesome. I am able to do testing and then add the reporting and the evidence. It is fair in terms of the price that you're paying. You get what you're paying for."
"I use the solution for test management."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"Integration with Confluence and JIRA."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"There was no free trial in it."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"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."
"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."
"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 language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."
"Better prediction of text."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
