Software Testing Tools - Automated Testing Tools
Software Testing Tools
- Software Testing tools are used for the better behaviour of the application or software.
- There are many software tools available in the market in which some are open source and some are paid tools.
- Difference between the paid tools and open source is that open source tools have limited features, where as the paid tools have no limitaton on its features.
- The types of tool paid or open source is selected based on the user requirements.
- These tools are classified depending on the licence – paid or commercial, open source, technology usage and the types of testing performed.
- Using these testing tools, software performance can be improved, we can deliver a high quality product and reduce the duration of manual testing.
- Software Testing Tools can be divided into:
- Test management tool
- Bug tracking tool
- Automated testing tool
- Performance testing tool
- Cross-browser testing tool
- Integration testing tool
- Unit testing tool
- Mobile/android testing tool
- GUI testing tool
- Security testing tool
Software Testing Tools
Test Management Tool
- For keeping track of all testing activities like fast data analysis, manage manual and automation test cases, various environments, plan and mainatin manual testing we can use the Test management tools.
Test Management Tool
Bug Tracking Tool
- To keep track of bug fixes and ensure delivery of a bug free and quality product we can use the Bug Tracking Tool.
- This tool is used in the testing stage to find bugs so that we can get a defect free software in the production server.
- These types of tools are really helpful for the end user by allowing them to report bugs and issues directly on their applications.
Bug Tracking Tool
Automation Testing Tool
- To enhance the productivity and improve the accuracy of the software automation testing tools are used.
- We can write test scripts in any programming languages to reduce the time and cost of the application.
Automation Testing Tool
Performance Testing Tool
- These tools are used for checking the load, stability, scalability and robustness of an application.
- Where there is large number of users are using the application at the same time and it the application gets crashed because of immense load, we need load testing tools to resolve this issue.
Performance Testing Tool
Cross-browser Testing Tool
- This type of tools can be used when we want to compare the web applications performance in different browser platforms.
- Projects needed to be developed in such a way that it is compatible with different browser platforms.
- When projects are made compatible with different browser platforms we can ensure that the application behaviour is consistent in multiple devices, browsers and platforms.
Cross-browser Testing Tool
Integration Testing Tool
- This type of tool is used to test the interface between the modules and find critical bugs which may happen because of integration of different modules and also to find if all the modules are working as per the client requirements.
Integration Testing Tool
Unit Testing Tool
- Programmers use this tool to improve their quality of code.
- They also use this tool to reduce the time of code and the overall cost of the software.
Unit Testing Tool
Mobile/android Testing Tool
- These type of tools are used for testing mobile applications.
- In this some of the tools are free/open source and some of them are licenced.
- Each tool has its own functionality and features.
Mobile Testing Tool
GUI Testing Tool
- Proper GUI(Graphical User Interface) is always needed to grab the attention of user, and we use this tool to test the user interface of the application.
- These type of tools will help to find the loopholes in the application's design and makes its better.
GUI Testing Tool
Security Testing Tool
- We can use this tool to check for the security of the software and also for the security leakage.
- If there is any security loopholes it can be fixed at the very early stage.
- We need this type of the tool when the software has encoded the security code which is not accessible by the unauthorized users.
