Automation testing tools is a part of software testing. Apply on the software that test fast to execute. It is a reliable process and result of testing is accurate. Automation testing tools is execute to your test case of the repeatable automated test cases and reusable script, also this is programmable and cover ability. Tester can perform first plan the automation test and record user actions to generate the baseline test finally enhance for web testing and playback automated test. Now going to look at various top automation testing tools with the help of which we can automate the test cases.
1) Selenium testing tools
Selenium testing tool is invented by Jason R. Huggins and his colleagues. Is an open source browser automation framework. It is available on IE 6/7, Opera, Firefox, Safari. Is a portable JavaScript framework that runs in your web browser. This is used for testing web application also helps you to test the mobile application which has web forms. The supported operating system like Windows, Linux and Macintosh.
Selenium is the three major tools as follows:
Selenium – IDE:
This is the Integrated Development Environment for building selenium test cases. That can be operates as a firefox add-on and provides an easy to use interface for developing and running individual test cases or entire rest suites. Option for the automatically assert the title of every page also debug and set breakpoints.
Selenium – RC:
Remote Control is allows testers to write automated Web Application User Interface tests in many programming language against HTML, Java, C#, Python, PHP, Perl, and Ruby using any mainstream JavaScript enabled browser.
Selenium – Grid:
Selenium Grid allows the selenium RC solutions to scale for large test suites. You can run on multiple operating system and browsers in parallel.
2) Windmill
Windmill is a web testing framework that provides complete testing automation and strong debugging capabilities. Because this is developed using python and JavaScript. And test can be written in Python, JavaScript, Ruby and there is complete set of JS unit functions. It is more popular for the developer and QA tester, because test writing easier for portable and sustainable. It runs on windows, MAC OS X and Linux. Its major advantage is it supports all web browsers like Chrome, Opera, Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer etc. Test for any of the mentioned browsers can be written directly in this testing framework. Windmill provides a cross –browser test recorder that allows writing tests without learning a programmable language. Simply record, edit, playback, and interact with tests from one interface.
3) Bugzilla
Bugzilla originally developed and used by the Mozilla project, and licensed under the Mozilla public license, it release as open source software by Netscape Communications in 1998. This is a general purpose of the defect tracker tool. Defect tracking tools allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Bugzilla originally written by Terry Weissman later ported to Perl from “Tool Command Language”, (TCL) TCL is an open source scripting language. Integrated, product based granular security schema and inter bug dependencies its features of Bugzilla. It is a very well-understood and well-thought-out natural bug resolution protocol. The supported operating system like Windows and Linux. MySQL, PostgreSQL, oracle this database are support.
4) TestLink
TestLink this is a web-based test management system. And also enables quality assurance teams to create and manage their test cases and also organize them into test plans. This is supported to Firefox, Internet Explorer 4+, Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla, Netscape 6.1, Opera 7 this web browsers. A test case management and execution tracking system built using PHP, MySQL, and several other open source tools. Test case describes a testing task using actions scenario and expected results, Are the fundamental piece. Test case suite organizes to several units. If structures test specification into logical parts.
5) Tellurium
Tellurium automated testing framework for testing web applications. This is evolved from selenium framework with different testing approach. Tellurium IDE is a Firefox plugin that record user actions and generates tellurium test scripts, including UI module definitions, actions, and assertions. Also for the popular JavaScript framework such as a Dojo and JQuery UI.
