Endtest vs Keysight Eggplant Test

Endtest is an agentic AI platform for creating, managing and running end-to-end automated tests for web and mobile applications. Its Test Creation Agent accepts a goal in plain English, runs it in a real browser, observes the result and adapts the test. Endtest says teams can build tests without coding or advanced QA engineering experience. Maintenance features include self-healing locators, AI assertions and variables, and failure analysis that groups flaky tests and explains failures. Listed capabilities also include visual, API, email and SMS, and accessibility testing, plus AI test import. Tests run on real Windows and macOS machines with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Mobile testing covers native, hybrid and web apps on real devices, iOS simulators and Android emulators through public or private device clouds. Plans begin at $175 a month; Starter includes 1–5 parallel tests and 30-day result retention, while Pro costs $450 a month and includes 2–5 parallel tests and 90-day retention. A 14-day trial is available, and there is no free plan.

Keysight Eggplant Test automates end-to-end software testing across web, mobile, APIs, desktop applications and complex systems such as Citrix. It uses image and text recognition to interact with screens without instrumentation or back-end access, and the same tests can run across mobile, web, desktop, mainframe and packaged applications without platform-specific rewrites. Model-based testing generates and adapts tests from application models. Visual regression checks can cover browsers, devices and operating systems from one test definition and handle dynamic content such as dates and animations. API testing models request and response chains across security, reporting and data layers. CI/CD connections include Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions and GitLab, via public APIs and standard connectors. Eggplant Test can operate in isolated or air-gapped networks without external data transfer or cloud connectivity. For aerospace and defense, it produces audit evidence aligned with DO-178C, DO-330, MIL-STD-498 and MIL-STD-882. Keysight offers onboarding and implementation services, plus Eggplant Essentials and Eggplant Expert certification paths. Pricing is on request; a free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
