What is Keysight Eggplant
Keysight Eggplant is a software testing platform focused on functional test automation and digital experience monitoring using a model-based approach. It is used by QA teams, test automation engineers, and DevOps organizations to validate end-to-end user journeys across desktop, web, and mobile applications, including environments where object-level selectors are unreliable. The product emphasizes image-based interaction, journey modeling, and analytics to help teams design, execute, and analyze tests across heterogeneous systems.
Image-based UI automation
Eggplant can automate applications through visual recognition, which helps when DOM/object identifiers are unstable or unavailable (for example, remote desktops, virtualized apps, or legacy UIs). This approach supports cross-technology testing where conventional script frameworks require different drivers per platform. It can reduce dependency on application internals, which is useful for black-box testing scenarios.
Model-based test design
Eggplant supports modeling of user journeys and system states to generate and manage test coverage from a behavioral model. This can improve traceability between business flows and automated tests compared with purely script-centric suites. It also helps teams prioritize and expand coverage as applications change, especially for complex end-to-end workflows.
Analytics for test outcomes
The platform includes reporting and analytics capabilities to analyze execution results and identify patterns in failures. This supports triage by correlating failures to environments, builds, or journey steps rather than reviewing raw logs alone. For organizations running large regression suites, centralized insights can improve visibility across teams and pipelines.
Higher setup and skills
Model-based automation and image-driven testing typically require upfront design work and specialized skills compared with basic record-and-playback or simple scripting. Teams often need time to establish modeling standards, maintain image assets, and tune recognition thresholds. This can slow initial rollout for smaller teams or projects with limited automation maturity.
Visual testing fragility
Image-based automation can be sensitive to UI rendering differences caused by resolution, font smoothing, theme changes, localization, or remote session artifacts. Teams may need additional engineering to stabilize tests across devices and environments. In fast-changing UI products, maintaining visual assets can become an ongoing cost.
Not a dedicated load tool
While Eggplant can support performance-oriented testing and monitoring use cases, it is not primarily positioned as a high-scale protocol-level load generation platform. Organizations needing very large concurrent user simulation or deep network/protocol scripting may require separate tooling and integration. This can add complexity to end-to-end performance testing programs.
