Tool Name: eggPlant

Category: Functional Test Automation Tool

Company: TestPlant Europe Ltd

Latest Version: 11

Summary:

eggPlant is a black-box GUI test automation tool.It has a unique approach in that it does not reside on the system, and uses image matching technology as opposed to looking to the object-level of the application being tested. This allows for system-wide automation of a system-under-test as opposed to an application-specific solution. It also means that the technology used to build the application to be tested does not matter, nor does the system that the application runs on.Now with a fully integrated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine driven by ABBYY, the leader in commercial OCR eggPlant can test any text, any image on any screen.

Approach: eggPlant is a two-computer system, consisting of a controller machine, where scripts are authored and executed, and a system-under-test which runs a VNC server. Eggplant connects to this VNC server via its built-in viewer via TCP/IP. The system-under-test can be any system that has a VNC server for it. Originally, Mac-only, the controller environment/IDE is now available on Linux and Windows.

Key Features:

Guided Record Mode
Instead of a regular record mode, capturing images generates script code and avoids extraneous mouse and keyboard movements being recorded
Code Completion
Debugging
Easy integration with quality management software
Eggplant can be used to augment systems such as HP Quality Center
Execution-only mode
eggPlant tests can be run unattended via command line.

Supported Platform:

DESKTOP: Windows, Linux and Mac
MOBILE: Android, iOS, RIM, Phone 7 and Symbian
