We performed a comparison between Broadcom Service Virtualization and Eggplant Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, OpenText, SmartBear and others in Service Virtualization."It's got probably the greatest amount of features, in terms of different technologies that you can automate and virtualize, out of any of the solutions out there."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"Easy to understand ways of creating stubs."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"We are able to quickly scale our requests. We have tested across thousands of requests. We have had no problems so far."
"In the case of the virtualization of TCP/IP protocols for third-party terminal insurance, there was a device terminal, which was interacting with the application via the TCP/IP protocol. Most of the tools don't support that, but we were able to achieve it using Broadcom Service Virtualization."
"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"It is easy to use, has a faster time to market, and provides flexibility."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"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 main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"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 solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more."
"From a reporting perspective I think we would like to have a more user-friendly approach."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"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."
"There was no free trial in it."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"It has low productivity."
"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."
"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 solution would crash from time to time."
