Automated Software Testing for Education
Automation Intelligence (Eggplant Test) for LMS testing automation, SIS validation, and EdTech accessibility testing across Canvas, Blackboard, Banner, Workday Student, and the integrations between them.
Full EdTech Stack CoverageEggplant Test tests LMS, SIS, assessment platforms, library systems, and the integration workflows between them in a single end-to-end run. Grade passback failures, enrollment sync errors, and assessment posting issues surface in test, not in student complaints.
Interaction-Level Accessibility TestingValidate the experience assistive technology users have; screen reader navigation, keyboard-only workflows, dynamic content updates, and focus management. Catches the accessibility failures that static checkers miss and that increasingly carry legal risk under DOJ Title II enforcement.
Peak Period Load TestingSimulate registration rushes, exam-week concurrent usage, and semester-transition loads before the academic calendar arrives. Capacity failures and integration bottlenecks surface in test, not during the highest-stakes periods of the institutional year.
Continuous Regression Through Vendor UpdatesAutomated regression testing integrated with your CI/CD pipeline validates every Canvas, Workday Student, or Banner update before it reaches students. Vendor update cycles stop being a regression risk and start being a routine testing event.

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.

Education Software Testing FAQs
Eggplant Test tests and automates workflows across learning management systems (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Moodle), student information systems (Banner, PeopleSoft, Workday Student, Jenzabar), online assessment platforms (Respondus, Honorlock, ExamSoft), library systems, and parent/student mobile applications. Most engagements focus on validating the integrations between these systems, where most institutional IT failures occur.
Yes. Because Eggplant Test tests at the UI level using image recognition, it validates legacy Banner and PeopleSoft interfaces with the same approach it uses for cloud-native Canvas or Workday Student. This makes it practical for higher-education IT environments where modernisation has been incremental and legacy systems run alongside SaaS replacements.
Eggplant Test validates accessibility by testing applications the way assistive technology experiences them; screen reader navigation, keyboard-only workflows, focus management, and dynamic content updates. This catches accessibility issues that static checkers miss, which is increasingly important under DOJ Title II rulemaking requiring state and local government entities (including public universities) to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
Yes. Eggplant Performance— sold alongside Eggplant Test — runs load testing for LMS, SIS, and assessment platforms. It simulates peak registration rushes, exam-week concurrent usage, and semester-transition loads, so capacity issues surface in test rather than during the peak itself.
Eggplant Test integrates with standard CI/CD platforms (Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps) and connects with EdTech-specific procurement vehicles including state cooperative purchasing agreements. It is available through standard education sector IT procurement channels.
Most institutions see meaningful results within the first two quarters. Initial wins typically come from automating LMS regression testing through quarterly platform updates, validating peak registration readiness, or completing Section 508 audit cycles where manual accessibility testing was the longest-pole activity.
