Find out what your peers are saying about Tricentis, OpenText, Katalon Studio and others in Regression Testing Tools."Good text reading ability."
"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."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The most valuable feature is the UI component tester."
"Test automation is most valuable because it saves a lot of time."
"IBM Rational Functional Tester is very contextual."
"It is compatible with all sorts of Dark Net applications. Its coverage is very good."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
"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 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 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."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The latest version has increased load time before testing can be run."
"They need to do a complete revamp so that even a non-technical person can manage the tool."
"If the solution is running on Linux, there are some issues around application compatibility."
"As many of our products are moving from PC to mobile, the most important thing that this solution needs is mobile app support."
