"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"Good text reading ability."
"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."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The most valuable features are ExpectedConditions, actions, assertions, verifications, flexible rates, and third-party integrations."
"It supports most of the actions that a user would do on a website."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"Selenium's open-source nature is a key advantage. Its extensive support for diverse web technologies."
"I like its simplicity."
"It's available open-source and free. To install it, I just have to download it. It also doesn't require too many hardware resources compared to Micro Focus."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open-source, has a good interface, and integrates well."
"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."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"There was no free trial in it."
"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."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"The installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
"Sometimes we face challenges with Selenium HQ. There are third party tools that we use, for example for reading the images, that are not easy to plug in. The third party add-ons are difficult to get good configuration and do not have good support. I would like to see better integration with other products."
"For now, I guess Selenium could add some other features like object communications for easy expansion."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"We can only use Selenium HQ for desktop applications which would be helpful. We are only able to do online based applications."
"Selenium HQ doesn't support Windows-based applications, so we need to integrate with the third-party vendor. It would be great if Selenium could include Windows-based automation. You need to integrate it with a third-party tool if you want to upload any files. When we interact with a Windows application, we usually use Tosca."
"You need to have experience in order to do the initial setup."
"The initial setup was difficult."
