Select the appropriate automated testing tool

For manual testing, software testers talk more about automated testing. The difference between the two is nothing more than manual testing and the use of tools to test.

As the development trend of software testing, there are many automated testing tools in the market, such as open source performance automated testing tools: Jmeter, Loadrunner; open source functional automated testing tools: QTP, Selenium, Watir; other automated testing frameworks: TestWriter (zero coding, easy to maintain) and so on.

In the face of so many automated testing tools, do you need to master them one by one? (there are also kneeling and licking gods, almost all of them have been used.) in the work of software testing, which are suitable for your project? Not to do useless work is one of the rules of every working person. So in software testing, how to choose an automated testing tool correctly.

1. Demand cost

To choose an automated testing tool, first of all, we should consider whether the tool has the ability of automated testing task and whether the automated testing tool can undertake the corresponding testing task according to the product-type task. A solution for automated testing for each type of test.

2. Test the applicability of the project.

Frequently release new versions for testing, this kind of test project. You need to consider putting aside manual testing and using automated testing. If you need to carry out automated testing, you should also take into account the implementation of automated testing, but also have the function of automated compilation and automated release system for testing.

3. Maintenance cost

Consider labor costs, including manual guidance and maintenance of automated testing tools. These are all things that need to be considered.
