"Good text reading ability."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The solution is a stable one."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"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."
"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."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"The most valuable aspect of Selenium is that it gives you the flexibility to customize or write your own code, your own features, etc. It's not restricted by licensing."
"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."
"All the features in Selenium to automate the UI."
"The solution is very flexible; there are different ways of using it. It's open-source and has a lot of support on offer."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are the automation of all UI tests, its open-source, reliability, and is supported by Google."
"Language support - since it supports Java and other programming languages it is easy to integrate with other systems."
"We can run multiple projects at the same time and we can design both types of framework, including data-driven or hybrid. We have got a lot of flexibility here."
"The grids, as well as the selectors, are the most valuable features."
"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 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."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"Eggplant Test should emphasize on improving its offering in non-Windows environments."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"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 a library of bomb files with an automated process and integration with Jenkins and Slack."
"Shadow DOM could be improved and the handling of single page applications. Right now, it's a bit complicated and there are a lot of additional scripts required if you want to handle a single page application in a neat way."
"There are stability issues with Internet Explorer only."
"It would be very helpful to be able to write scripts in a GUI, rather than depend so heavily on the command line."
"The drawback is the solution is not easy to learn."
"The solution's UI path needs to be modernized."
"The latest versions are often unstable."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
