Keysight Technologies has released Eggplant Test 7.0, an enhanced version of its automated software testing solution with powerful integrations that enable quality assurance (QA) teams to test mobile applications across multiple devices and operating systems simultaneously.
Mobile apps have become a ubiquitous part of modern digital life, facilitating everything from e-commerce and digital health to home security and business process management. However, users are unlikely to find an app useful if it is buggy or difficult to use.
With the multitude of device and operating system combinations, testing mobile apps before they are released is more important than ever. QA teams need automated tools to accelerate validation of application compatibility, functionality, usability, performance, and security across multiple device configurations.
Keysight's Eggplant Test 7.0 meets this challenge with integrations that can test more than 7,500 operating systems and device combinations through Sauce Labs' Real Device Cloud. The latest version of Eggplant Test provides QA teams with advanced collaboration capabilities, seamless integration with continuous integration tools, and the ability to connect to virtualized applications.
These capabilities collectively enable automation, acceleration, and mitigation of risks inherent in manual testing to improve the testing process.
“Eggplant Test 7.0 empowers teams to overcome complexity by simultaneously testing mobile applications on more than 7,500 operating system and device combinations,” said Gareth Smith, general manager of software test automation at Keysight. “By leveraging the power of Sauce Labs’ Real Device Cloud, we eradicate the constraints of expensive device labs, triggering instant test execution.
New improvements to the Eggplant Test platform include:
- Instant Test Execution – Eliminates the need for costly device labs by enabling instant test execution on any device and operating system through Sauce Labs' Real Device Cloud, ensuring comprehensive test coverage without the hassle of managing physical devices.
- Lightning-fast results – Combines Sauce Labs' Eggplant Test and Real Device Cloud to run test cases simultaneously, reducing overall testing time and accelerating release cycles.
- Version control integration – Integrates with Git to bring version control capabilities to the test automation process, allowing teams to roll back to previous versions, compare changes, and collaborate seamlessly across multiple branches.
- Continuous Integration (CI) – Integrates with popular CI tools to incorporate test automation into CI/CD pipelines to identify and fix issues earlier, enabling higher quality software and accelerating time to market.
- Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) integration – Facilitates enterprise-scale testing by supporting access and control of test assets through Active Directory SSO.
- Enterprise-grade visual verification tools – Automates virtual machine testing through a new Citrix integration that leverages the Intelligent Computer Vision feature to test secure Citrix applications.
- Enhanced Collaboration – Improves collaboration between QA teams by providing a unified platform for test automation that allows team members to work together seamlessly, share test assets, and collaborate in real time.
“Through seamless integrations like Git, Citrix, Active Directory and continuous integration tools, we pave the way for unparalleled success through true end-to-end testing,” added Smith. “With Eggplant Test 7.0, we are shaping a future defined by comprehensive, continuous testing.”
