I manage a team of testers. It's more of a software team, but I manage a team of testers that utilizes Eggplant every day. The reason we picked Eggplant was because the testers don't have a lot of coding experience.

Eggplant Functional is a GUI automation tool. We only use it for GUI automation. The applications that we use it for are mainly desktop applications.

It is not a test management tool, it's not like Jazz or QF-Test, it's a GUI automation tool. So when you look at Facebook or LinkedIn, that is the UI, the user interface. It's buttons, it's scroll downs, it's menus, it's drop downs, it's how a user navigates through the application. That's the only thing we use it for - GUI automation. It is not a test management tool. Test management tools are like Jazz.

It's on-prem. It has to be for our job because we do a lot of classified stuff.

I'm a Test Tool Expert and we're customers of Eggplant Functional and have a good relationship with them. We were the first company in Switzerland to use them. We automate regression tests and there are eight people in the company currently using the product - some are testers and some developers. On a given day there would two or three people using the product, others might use it once a week or once a month.

Our primary use case of Eggplant was for test automation for vulnerability scanning. We were making sure certain things were installed and in place; dates, scanning certain texts to make sure that what it was looking for matched in terms of dates and version numbers, things like that. This solution is software as a service. I'm a senior technical support analyst.

QA Analyst at a transportation company with 5,001-10,000 employees

The primary reason that we got Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence is that we have a couple of systems that are run through virtual machines. Everybody who uses it in our company needs to go through a virtual machine. This solution was the only testing system that was able to run that virtual machine and test within it. It was the best that we found.

What we're mostly testing are web pages and Windows apps; Oracle transportation systems. They could have done local installs, but they put them in VMware and this was the best way to test them.

I usually use this to make UI tests. Our company makes an application, a mobile application, and in order to confirm the functionality, I usually use this product for regression or function testing.

Software Engineer at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees

We did a POC using Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence where we did the model testing and used DI agents.

We use the Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence for one of our desktop applications where there are graphs, such as PowerPoints and Spotify dashboards. There are some graphs in which we would like to evaluate the data from the tool. First, we have to validate the data from the back end, and then take the value coming from the back end and cross-validate from the graphs. Additionally, we have to edit the PDF files. We use Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence for validation.

We use Eggplant for robotic process automation across several use cases. We primarily use it to test television set-top boxes, and we also use it for some automated content matching and for over-the-top streaming device testing as well.

The automation and the testing that we perform with eggplant is really for automation that allows us to generate data via our products, to validate that the data being generated is what we expect. Our primary use cases are for post-development, operational validation and support.

We provide software for doctors and hospitals. In one of our business units, business analysts and quality assurance people are working together and there is no requirement in the job description for programming. These users are doing the tasks the doctors would do. In the testing environment, they don't need technical, medical knowledge. They are just testing the software in a process that mirrors how a doctor would behave, what a doctor would do for the patient.

GUI testing is the strength of the tool. We have been satisfied with the tool, and not only the tool, but the service behind it. The tool works as expected, and the response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial.

We evaluated this solution and began writing code, but we are not comfortable coding in Eggplant so we are not buying it.

We are definitely moving to an open-source solution.
