Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The features that I find most useful and the ones that I use the most are local site testing, device and browser testing, and screenshots.""CrossBrowserTesting allows us to test our site with real-world devices in real-world scenarios and find what we're missing.""The support team is top-notch. I have a great relationship with them. They are extremely honest and responsive.""CBT has made it easier to troubleshoot issues across devices when we do not have actual access to those specific devices. I even opt for CBT sometimes when we do have access to the device just because it is easier.""SmartBear has excellent, informative webinars, so keep an eye out for those.""Selenium Grid allows testing multiple platforms to insure functionality for most users.""Video recording of the script running in a cloud server.""At the moment, all our deploys depend on results of automation. If the tests are failing, then we know that something is wrong at the early stages of development."

"It is easy to set up.""The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it.""The solution is a stable one.""The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology.""We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant.""It provides very strong cross-platform support.""The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR.""Good text reading ability."

Cons
"Sometimes, some of their instances fail, particularly in older versions of browsers.""Elements of 'real' mobile/tablet testing could be sped up.""This solution would benefit from faster testing and support for more devices.""The five minute timeouts can cause irritation if you have just popped away to consult some supporting documentation.""The "Getting Started" documentation for Selenium testing could be improved.""A wider range of physical devices with more browser versions in the Selenium Grid would be great to insure users with out-of-date devices are able to interact with our sites.""I have had quite a few issues trying to use a virtual machine to test our application on.""Sometimes the testing is slow."

More CrossBrowserTesting Cons →

"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application.""It has low productivity.""We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution.""Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments.""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.""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.""The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The lowest price point is very reasonable. It is also useful if only one person in the company needs to check on the browser display."
  • "A few intermediary pricing options for small QA teams would be nice, e.g., unlimited screenshots, "as you need it" parallel tests, etc."
  • "CrossBrowserTesting offered the best value for its price."
  • "It is worth the pricing as the product is supported on multiple platforms and browsers."
  • "SmartBear offers bundles of products that work together."
  • More CrossBrowserTesting Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is scalable, but it is a matter of money in the pocket. You can scale it, but then you have to have additional licenses. The licensing approach of eggPlant is not the best."
  • "Make a smart decision about the number of developer- and execution-only licenses you purchase to maximize your budget. We found that going heavier on execution-only licenses has been a way to reduce our costs and maximize our ability to benefit from the software."
  • "End-to-end testing isn't possible for us because of the licensing problems. It's very expensive, so we only have two development/execution licenses."
  • "It probably has a yearly license."
  • "This solution is expensive when compared to the market. However, the reason it is more expensive is because of its stability, high performance, and for its support of any technology."
  • "Eggplant Test is a very expensive solution."
