We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and TestRail 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."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."
"Good text reading ability."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"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 most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"From a testing perspective, the management is awesome. I am able to do testing and then add the reporting and the evidence. It is fair in terms of the price that you're paying. You get what you're paying for."
"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."
"Most valuable features are the ease of organizing test cases and a great API for sending results from automated test run results into the database."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."
"Integration with Confluence and JIRA."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."
"It has low productivity."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"There was no free trial in it."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"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 Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"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."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."
"Better prediction of text."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
