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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."

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

"Good text reading ability."

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

"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."

"The solution is a stable one."

"It provides very strong cross-platform support."

"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."

More Eggplant Test pros

"It has a very intuitive user experience."

"If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise."

"It has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money."

"Zephyr Enterprise is a stable solution."

"It has a very intuitive user experience."

"We use the solution for test case management."

"The solution does its job well."

"It has many features, but the main things that we need are the test cycles and integration with automation because we have automation for the web and mobile applications. We use it for test case management to run the test cases and get the results. At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements. We are able to get the test execution report and the test pass and fail report. This summary is delivered to our management."

More Zephyr Enterprise pros

Cons

"It has low productivity."

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

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

"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."

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."

"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."

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

More Eggplant Test cons

"The reporting, and the ability to reorganize the test repository, which are a little stifling. There is definitely room for improvement there."

"Security needs improvement to protect customer information better."

"We would like support for the agile and behavior-driven development (BDD) approaches."

"The solution is not really stable. Sometimes in the past, some pages wouldn't load due to issues."

"We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility."

"It's difficult to export the test cases in Zephyr, especially with screenshots or attachments, making sharing test cases not very easy."

"Creating better default varieties of reporting would make the product much better and more popular."

"We faced some errors while uploading the test cases."

More Zephyr Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."

"It probably has a yearly license."

"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."

"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."

"It costs a couple of thousand dollars for a little more than 125 users, per month."

"DFS is more expensive than Zephyr. DFS is around $32 per person, whereas Zephyr is $10 per person. There is a major difference in the price, which is the main reason why we are trying to shift to Zephyr."
