"It is easy to set up."
"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 most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"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 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."
"Good text reading ability."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The solution is very easy to use. Once you learn how to do things, it becomes very intuitive and simple."
"Some of the most valuable features of this solution are open-source, they have good support, good community support, and it supports multiple languages whether you use C-Sharp or not. These are some of the most important benefits."
"The plugins, the components, and the method of the library with Selenium is very user defined."
"All the features in Selenium to automate the UI."
"It supports many external plugins, and because it's a Java-based platform, it's language-independent. You can use Java, C#, Python, etc."
"Selenium WebDriver and Selenium IDE are useful."
"Our platform runs into several thousand screens and a few thousand test cases, something which would typically take months to test manually. As of today, the entire process takes a little over two days to run."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is it provides support for third-party tools, such as screenshots, and automates Windows-based applications."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"There was no free trial in it."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"It has low productivity."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"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."
"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."
"Selenium HQ can improve the authorization login using OTP, it is not able to be done in this solution."
"Could have additional readability and abstraction."
"The solution does not offer up enough information in regards to personality testing."
"I have found that at times the tool does not catch the class features of website content correctly. The product's AWS configuration is also hard."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
"The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs."
"Selenium could offer better ways to record and create scripts. IDE is available, however, it can be improved."
"The initial setup was difficult."
