End-to-End Testing for Engineering Applications
If your engineers use it, Automation Intelligence (Eggplant Test) can test it. Across SAP, Siemens Teamcenter, Siemens NX, PTC Windchill, Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, and PTC Creo, without API restrictions or vendor-specific connectors.
One Testing Approach. Every Engineering Application.
End-to-end testing across design, engineering, and production systems.
Most testing strategies are built around individual applications: one tool per platform, a specialist for each integration, and nobody testing the workflow that crosses all of them. That's where Eggplant Test comes in.
Eggplant Test tests at the UI level using image recognition, so it works on any application without API access, vendor-specific connectors, or code changes. One end-to-end test can walk a workflow across Teamcenter, SAP, and Windchill simultaneously, the way engineering data actually moves, from design through to production.
No API Access RequiredEggplant Test tests at the UI level using image recognition, the way a real user sees and uses the application. No vendor API, no custom connector, no code access needed. If it renders on a screen, it can be tested.
Cross-Application End-to-End TestingA single test run validates workflows that span multiple platforms (Teamcenter to SAP, Windchill to 3DEXPERIENCE, NX to Creo), catching integration failures that application-specific tools miss.
Citrix and Virtual Desktop SupportMost large enterprises deliver SAP, Oracle, and other applications through Citrix or VMware Horizon. Eggplant Test tests Citrix-delivered applications natively, with no additional configuration and no vendor-specific Citrix connectors.
Continuous Testing Through Every UpdateEngineering platforms update on their own release cycles. Model-based testing adapts to UI changes without script rewrites, so regression coverage survives every release.

The pressure to release updates faster is greater today than ever to keep up with customer expectations. DevOps and continuous testing should provide the answer to keeping up with the pace of change, but unless testing teams harness everything these ways of working have to offer, they aren't enough.
As this playbook explains, the key to success is adding AI testing to the toolkit.

Engineering Applications End-to-End Testing FAQs
Engineering application testing validates that platforms like SAP, Teamcenter, NX, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, and Creo (and the integrations between them) work correctly end-to-end, the way engineers use them. It goes beyond testing individual applications in isolation to validate the cross-system workflows that product development depends on.
Eggplant Test tests engineering applications at the UI level using image recognition, the same way a real user interacts with the system. It reads the screen, validates the output, and walks the workflow without requiring API access, vendor-specific connectors, or code changes to production systems. This means it works on any engineering application that renders to a screen, including SAP, Teamcenter, NX, Windchill, 3DEXPERIENCE, Creo, and Citrix-delivered applications.
Yes. A single test run can validate a workflow that crosses multiple platforms; a Salesforce opportunity triggering an SAP sales order, a Workday onboarding flow syncing to Active Directory, a ServiceNow change ticket integrating with Oracle. Most automation tools test each application separately. Eggplant Test tests the handoffs between them, which is where engineering application failures most commonly occur.
No. Because Eggplant Test tests at the UI level using image recognition, it does not require API access, vendor-approved connectors, or modifications to the application under test. This makes it suitable for engineering environments where vendor API access is restricted, where applications are delivered through Citrix, or where modifying production systems for testing purposes is not permitted.
Any application that renders on screen — no vendor-specific connectors required. This includes SAP, Siemens Teamcenter, Siemens NX, PTC Windchill, PTC Creo, and Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE. It also extends to Salesforce, Oracle, Workday, ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and any other cloud, on-premises, or Citrix-delivered platform.
Engineering platforms update frequently; SAP quarterly, Salesforce three times per year, Workday twice annually. Eggplant Test uses model-based testing, so when an application's UI changes after an update, the model updates and the AI re-explores the affected workflows automatically. This eliminates the script rewriting that forces most teams to choose between keeping pace with releases and maintaining test coverage.
Yes. Many enterprises deliver SAP, Oracle, and other platforms through Citrix or VMware Horizon for security and compliance reasons. Eggplant Test tests Citrix-delivered applications natively using image recognition, with no additional configuration and no Citrix-specific connectors required. This is one of the technical capabilities that distinguishes it from script-based automation tools, which typically cannot connect to Citrix sessions.
