test methodologies Questions

Hi ,

Can any one please advise, how to track Traceability from Cucumber report - Feature file and  Scenario to the corresponding stroy( Issue key) and Epic in Jira. 

I was just assigned recently to a new role to lead and develop a Quality Engineering Team, our first task is to conduct software testing for a reporting application that our organization is currently developing.  We already have some test plans, test cases and test steps developed (in excel format), but I was hoping if we can automate the QA testing as well as UAT using the an automated testing.  Will you be able to recommend what available software or applications we can use to do this?  

I saw selenium as one option, but we are still trying to explore it, but we may need a tool that is much easier and user firendly.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

There are so many tools for marketing that are pitted against each other, but each tool has got some special feature associated with it specifically. Such as

•For Automation testing, Selenium and UFT(QTP) are preferred

•For Performance  testing, JMeter and LoadRunner are preferred

•For Services testing SOAP UI are preferred

•For unit testing mbunit, testing is preferred

However, Selenium and OATS (Oracle Application Testing Suite) are getting increasingly popular among the testers for the testing purposes.

Selenium-

Selenium testing tool automates web browsers. first and foremost, it is used for automating web applications for the purposes of testing but is surely not restricted to just that. Mundane web-based administration tasks can be easily automated with Selenium.

Selenium tool has got the incessant support of some of the biggest browser dealers across the globe who have taken simple steps to make Selenium an indigenous part of their particular browser. It is also the mainstay equipment in innumerable other browser automation tools along with the APIs and the frameworks.

OATS-

All the OATS technologies quickly mechanize your tests for objective 32-bit or 64-bit Java applications as well as Java applets present in your web browsers. It is an integrated, all-inclusive web application testing tool that provides all the tools and mechanisms you need to make sure the scalability and dependability of your business-critical apps, software etc.
