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."We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."
"Scalability has actually worked well and we are able to bring it to multiple environments."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"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."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs."
"The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well."
"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"We are able to now automate tests, which so far have been manual."
"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."
"Good text reading ability."
"The solution is a stable one."
"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."
"It is easy to set up."
"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."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"Needs some additional lightweight, portable elements."
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"I would like to have more flexibility towards the mainframe virtualization and also in JDBC 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 need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"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."
"It has low productivity."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
