The features that I have found most valuable are that it has a spot for everything. I know developers really utilize its OCR function. It needs to be tuned a little bit more, but as an all-around tool, it's probably the best GUI automation tool out there. The reason for that is because of its recognition, it's been around for a while and also for what it can do. It can do almost anything you want it to do.

We've reduced testing time by about 70%. We had a regression suite that took the team literally two and a half weeks to get through. And once all the tests were automated, it literally takes us 16 hours to run through all the tests.

It's more than 70%. But the reason why I say 70% is that not all the tests could be run from beginning to end. There are some parts of the application that we had to kick off separately. But mostly all the automation could run within 24 hours, including all your regression. There are still tests where our users have to go out and manually test to make it 70%. But for the most part, we took a two and a half week process and we cut it down to almost two days of automation if kicked off Monday night. So it's pretty awesome.

The one team that I had integrated the solution on does not even need a tester. That's what Eggplant is, Eggplant is never sick, it runs all the time. It's never late. It is probably one of the best tools on the market for GUI automation.

The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR. We're also using the API now. we also made a POC for the Selenium WebDriver.

When comparing with other tools, the clear advantage of eggplant is that it is system independent.

I love a good portion of this solution, the stand outs for me are the ability to read texts, and being able to automate anything you wish to do. If I wanted to go on YouTube and load up a specific video and have it take a certain image that appears on the screen, I can do it - it's pretty amazing, pretty cool.

I have really come to like Eggplant. Although I'm working in QA now, I worked as a dev for a very long time and I like the solution's scripting language, SenseTalk. It's pretty easy to use.

I also like the IDE and the helpers that it gives when you search something and double-click it. It gives you the outline that you can then fill out in your code, which is very similar to many others. I appreciate that they're doing that.

What I'm also really happy about—and perhaps this isn't technically about functional testing, but it's related to it—is that 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.

We have mobile apps that we are testing through it with Android Gateway, and that seems to be working great. And, of course, any web apps and Windows applications have been no problem. We are running several scrum lines, and we've just implemented with QA and, therefore, QA is important. What we're trying to do is get the ongoing suite of tests that look at things currently, and then it will be a built-on regression suite as we keep going and keep adding more and more tests. We want to improve quality before handing it off to our customers. If we have mainframe stuff, it's nothing that I've had to test or deal with. 

It's been very fast and very easy to use. Because there's that code behind it, we're able to write modularized code, so that when a new page is created, we don't have to rewrite everything, just the things that are specific to those pages.

The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing.

The recording feature is very helpful. I also like the scripting functionality.

It is easy to set up.

The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology.

The feature that we use most is the optical character recognition. The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests.

Although the solution enables you to test any software on any device, from mainframe to browser to mobile, our primary use for Eggplant is robotic process automation. We're not using Eggplant for its original software testing purposes. But we have found that, for all of the devices that we need to use Eggplant for, such as Rokus and Fire TVs, we've been able to use it and have not run into any issues.

The digital twin tool is perfect for combining the non-technical and technical sides. Someone who is not actually in the code can understand the processes that are presented by digital twin. I was introduced to it with a short introduction of about one and a half hours, and I was very surprised to see something like that because I had only been working with Eggplant programming and coding. With digital twin I can program something and visualize it within a module, within a process. For us, an example of such a use case is creating a new patient.

These small use cases are visualized in actions. Everybody who looks at it can understand what is meant by the representation and what an action is doing. In the past, everything was programmed and nobody could understand what I was doing. I put things in modules and described them very clearly, but if somebody was going into the modules, there was code and nobody could understand what it was doing. Now, everybody knows, when clicking on the action, what is going on in the software.

I tell my colleagues, "Look people, when I'm gone, with digital twin, everybody who is working with me will know the actions and can use them and can create a whole process that is visualized, installed, and implemented in Eggplant." We need to understand each other from the first moment, when I'm coding something. That is what is possible with digital twin.

What I like the most in Eggplant Manager is the functionality where you are informed, via email, if something is wrong.

The OCR (Optical Character Cognition) is a very useful feature. It mirrors your phone or your device system.

The scripting is nice and easy to use. The use of the tool is great. You can recreate scripts as well. It can generate scripts based on your actions from the screen.

• The availability of the support. 
• The internet presentation: If there are any questions, most of the questions can be answered with the web presentation and documentation. 
• The strength of the tool is we almost have no unwanted influence on the system of the test, because Eggplant is based on the reality approach. 
• It can be used for different operating platforms.
• It is easy to use.

Object recognition on applications with minimal data input, and the fact that it is designed to run on a machine when you can install automation software on the actual device.

The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it. 

Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition.
