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

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

"Good text reading ability."

"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'."

"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."

"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 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."

"The solution is a stable one."

More Eggplant Test pros

"The technical support services are excellent."

"LambdaTest easily integrates with leading project management, bug tracking, and CI-CD tools like Jira, Asana, Jenkins, Circle CI, and more."

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

"The Docker tunnel integration for local testing can be extremely useful to run on multiple instances in parallel."

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

"Builds that took days to complete with in-house infrastructure were executed in a couple of hours."

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

"The real devices feature is the most valuable feature for us."

More LambdaTest pros

Cons

"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."

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

"Eggplant Test is not a stable solution at all in my experience."

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

"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 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."

"It has low productivity."

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

More Eggplant Test cons

"Improvements on a platform need to happen on a timely basis...There should be some new features coming up or some performance improvisation over a period of time."

"Performing automation testing from UI is a little slow and could be improved."

"Sometimes, when multiple users use the tool simultaneously, it can slow down, affecting efficiency."

"I feel that the automated screenshot testing takes a little longer on MacOS sometimes."

"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."

"You cannot perform native-app testing, as they offer simulation for web testing only."

"Their smart testing module needs improvement."

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

More LambdaTest cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

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

"LambdaTest's pricing is cheaper than that of other similar platforms."

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

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

"It is free to start, which means you can actually see how it works and then take the decision to buy."

"I used the product for free."

"From the customer side, LambdaTest is cheaper for big company usage and works fine as other similar applications."

"LambdaTest is paid per execution."
