We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and TFS 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."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 solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"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 is a stable solution."
"What I like the most is that you can set permissions on just one folder."
"It is easy to push our changes from quality to pre-prod and prod."
"I feel that the test plan and test tools are more manageable in TFS."
"I like its MTM (Microsoft Test Manager) section which gives us options to create various test plans and add test cases into it."
"Basically, the capacity to construct various products is something I find handy."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"Good branching and labelling features."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"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."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"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 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."
"In the next release, I would like them to include integration for various projects, similar to what JIRA has, and they could create this feature on the dashboard."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"I'd like to see some kind of visualization tool for TFS that would make life much easier."
"Sometimes we feel that it need more CPU, and RAMs on TFS server, either we implemented the hardware with the product minimum requirements."
"The reporting functionality is something that they should work on."
"The program and portfolio planning facility can be improved."
"Overall, I think it would be useful to have something similar where Microsoft comes up with supporting concepts of scaling Agile in TFS so that clients don't have to look for a separate tool."
"TFS's CI/CD, project pipelines, and management development could be improved."
