Automated software for quality assurance testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and efficiency of software products.
Taking advantage of automation, software providers will save tremendous amounts of time, money, and effort while focusing more on core competencies: developing and selling their product.
According to a report from Zipdo, 29% of software projects fail because of insufficient and poor testing.
So, as one way to achieve higher quality, software providers should leverage the automated resources available.
And fortunately, there are several advanced automated software QA testing tools in the market. Below are some of the most notable ones.
Selenium is a widely used open-source automation testing framework for web applications. It supports multiple programming languages such as Java, Python, and C#, and provides a rich set of features for automating web browser interactions.
Appium is an open-source automation testing tool for mobile applications. It allows testers to write automated tests using the same API across different platforms, including iOS, Android, and Windows.
Robot Framework is an open-source automation testing framework that is highly extensible and supports a wide range of test automation scenarios, including web, mobile, and API testing. It uses a keyword-driven approach, making it easy to create and maintain test cases.
Cypress is a modern JavaScript-based automation testing tool specifically designed for testing web applications. It provides fast, reliable, and consistent test results and offers features such as real-time test execution, automatic waiting, and network stubbing.
TestComplete is a commercial automation testing tool that supports desktop, web, and mobile applications. It offers a comprehensive set of features for test automation, including record and playback, keyword-driven testing, and cross-browser testing.
Katalon Studio is a free automation testing tool that provides a complete solution for web, API, mobile, and desktop application testing. It offers a user-friendly interface, built-in test case management, and integration with popular CI/CD tools.
Postman is a popular automation testing tool specifically designed for testing APIs. It allows testers to create and execute automated API tests, monitor API performance, and generate comprehensive test reports.
Jenkins is an open-source automation server that is widely used for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. It provides automation capabilities for building, testing, and deploying software applications across different environments.
LoadRunner is a commercial performance testing tool that is widely used for testing the performance, scalability, and reliability of web and mobile applications. It allows testers to simulate thousands of virtual users and measure application performance under different load conditions.
Tricentis Tosca is a commercial automation testing tool that provides end-to-end test automation for web, mobile, and desktop applications. It offers features such as model-based test automation, risk-based testing, and test data management.
The above are just a few examples of the most advanced automated software QA testing tools available.
But ultimately, it all depends on the specific requirements of your project, as you may need to evaluate and choose the tool that best fits your organization's needs in terms of features, compatibility, ease of use, and budget.
Similarly, software companies can partner with an outsourced quality assurance testing services provider like Empaxis, which specializes in testing investment management software and has experience working with the aforementioned tools.
In short, don't let your QA testing fail. Take advantage of all the resources at your disposal.
