Keysight Eggplant Test vs Speedscale

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.

Speedscale is a hybrid API and load-testing product that uses captured production traffic to test changes in Kubernetes. It can replay requests, create service virtualizations that mimic flaky or third-party dependencies, and generate load tests from captured traffic. Load tests track latency and throughput against budgets; the product supports stress testing and distributed load. Listed pipeline integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Google Cloud Deploy, AWS CodeBuild, Bitbucket Pipelines, TeamCity, and CircleCI. Other listed integrations include GitHub Actions, k6, and Postman. The full stack can run inside a customer’s AWS, GCP, or Azure account, keeping traffic within that VPC. Speedscale offers tools to redact sensitive data and says leaked sensitive data can be deleted retroactively. The company says it completed an AICPA SOC 2 Type I audit. Its free proxymock tool provides unlimited local mocking, basic traffic recording, and a desktop CLI for local development. Proxymock has native command-line options for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
