We performed a comparison between Eggplant Test and SmartBear TestComplete based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Test Automation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"The solution is a stable one."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"Runs in different remote machines. We have multiple versions of the software being tested."
"The solution helps improve the stability of our product. It also decreases the work of our manual quality assurance engineers."
"Test items, project variables helps in managing automation suite and scheduling execution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to integrate with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and deployment."
"The most valuable features of the SmartBear TestComplete are self-healing, they reduce the maintenance required. The different languages SmartBear TestComplete supports are good because some of our libraries are written in Python, JavaScript, and C#. It's very easy to put them all under one project and use them. The are other features that SmartBear TestComplete has but the competition widely has them as well."
"Complete works perfectly with CUTE. That includes all dialogues, right-click menus, or system dialogues, etc., which are handled well."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Azure DevOps."
"You can record your actions and play them back later."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"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."
"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 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."
"The way objects are added and used when utilizing descriptive programming could be improved. It is a little unwieldy, compared to UFT."
"The solution needs Mac OS support. Right now, the solution has only been developed to accommodate Windows OS."
"The artificial intelligence needs to be improved."
"The initial setup of SmartBear TestComplete was complex."
"Product is not stable enough and it crashes often."
"Name Mapping feature should be clearer. Whenever I use it, I do not really know what will work and what will not work."
"The solution needs to extend the possibilities so that we can test on other operating systems, platforms and publications for Android as well as iOS."
"SmartBear products generally have a weak link when it comes to integration with other test management tools like Inflectra."
