As per my experience, one of the best tool to start with Automation testing is TestingWhiz. This is a code-less test automation tool, which provides multiple solutions related to web, API, database & mobile apps like web test automation, automated database testing, automated mobile testing, etc. This tool is mostly preferred by the begginers or those who are switching from manual testing to automation testing, because of its code-less scripting feature, i.e. test scripts are prepared using the inbuilt test commands, which makes the overall implementation faster, resulting in efficient test outputs. Also this tool has various integrations like integration with database, bug tracking tools, test management tools, etc. For better clarity, you can download its Free Enterprise version and start with automation testing.

Few other good tools for automation testing are Selenium, Testcomplete, etc.

You are correct! There are lots of tools out there in the market, some free and some paid. Do you have any specific application in mind? for example: web, ERP etc. Knowing about your target application type, you could then choose your automation tool.

Selenium Web Driver is very commonly used for automating browser supported Web Applications these days. You may want to check it out at http://www.seleniumhq.org/

As mentioned above, tools such as Selenium and TestComplete are most commonly used for this purpose. However, it might be good to try some simple tool which does not require coding skills. For example, Screenster which is able to perform visual testing: it captures screenshots during recording and then compares initial screenshots with newer ones during a playback. It also allows editing tests using CSS selector (e.g. you can exclude a selected web page element from comparison during a test run). Limited free usage is available, which is also good for starters.

Why Selenium?

we are an innovative Agile quality tool. Automation should not be a silo, it should be part of one simple testing process. 

let me know if you need more info.

What do you want to accomplish? Are you trying to learn an all-encompassing tool so you can add "Toolsmith" to your title and get a hefty raise, or are you trying to increase your test coverage, or decrease the cost of testing in your organization, or something else?

As has already been suggested, you might want to think about what it is you're trying to accomplish before proposing tool purchases to your boss. Some tools are great for web wiork, some for desktop. Some a rebuilt for developers, some for non-progrmmers. Some are even built for non-testers. Some are built to handle specific areas like security and penetration testing or performance.

I did a presentation on Sensible Test Automation at the KWSQA KWality Talks a little while ago, and covered much of this topic, including free and nearly free tools available and where/when to use them. You can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frTn6vKBB1E

Hi, 

According to me Selenium is the best tool for sutomation testing. I have used it. I t helps you automate web browsers across different platforms. 

But you can also follow the listed below url: 

https://dzone.com/articles/top-10-automated-software-testing-tools 

Thanks

The best freeware tool AutoIt https://www.autoitscript.com for the medium-advanced user

• Excellent support in the forums in english, german, french, .... by a broad user community
• Many nice user defined functional libraries
• Support all browsers and windows and java controls 
• Support MS UI Automation
• NO codeless programming (scripts are basic like syntax)
• Multi purpose tool so not only test automation
• Mobile automation
  for Android possible (although not mature)
  for iOS you have to use the webdriver solutions like appium/selenium
• Nice IDE standard and in forums more advanced IDE's are available
• Nice spy's to learn your objects

The best commercial tool is HP UFT due to its broad object recognition (mainframe till modern mobile devices which is a must have for bigger enterprise needs). Main disadvantage is slowness when starting a testrun. The successor HP LeanFT is much faster up to par with todays standards.

All tools I have seen are missing a best practice framework on how to deal with 100+ testcases. It goes fine for 1-100 testcases but after that dealing with testdata and multiple test environments you quickly start building your own framework. Nice when I have subscribed 1 client to a webshop on phone 1 but on the next phone the zipcode/account/card/aocial security number etc is already used so on next phone new set of data is needed.

So best tool is in the end hard to define. Putting commands in a listview is very close to coding in my personal opinion so definition of codeless programming is a commercial phrase. As soon as you have an optional condition it will turn out into an if-then-else logic even if you call it WHEN condition is true

Personally, i think Katalon is the coolest tool of the three tools above. It's very easy to use with such amazing features.

I really love this one

If you're rich, you can use UFT.It is a commercial tool and it provides many useful features.

But If you are looking for a free tool to start with, U should use Katalon, I have used it recently and it's amazing, it has the powerful features of the commercial tools like Record and Playback, Analytic,... It's totally free.  

No tool is easy or hard, you can pick any one!

Test Automation tools available in market are more or less same, working on one single methodology create,execute, assert & report. If you don't have experience in any tool all will be same for you for initial period at least. 

There are few tools which advertise easy record and play tests, they are easy to start with but still you can't depend on them to work for all real life scenarios. Tools are generally designed to handle standard scenarios but in real life there are no standard scenarios. You will encounter all unexpected scenarios and that is one reason we test, isn't it?

Try to understand how automation is done. Pick any tool any language, try to master it. Most important, don't make yourself slave to a tool. If you master one tool you can switch between any tool because all tools work with same principle, you may have to learn few new syntax but logic is always same :).

Go for Selenium or <a href="/%3Ca%20href%3D"https://tekslate.com/devops-training" rel="nofollow">https://tekslate.com/devops-training">DevOps Training</a> you will have huge career opportunities.

Hi there!

As many users said there are a number of tools out there

It depends on your project requirements! Choose right one

Tricentis Tosca
SoapUI
Katalon Studio
Appium
Postman
Ranorex

LambdaTest is the best automation testing tool for desktop & web applications.With LambdaTest you can reduce your testing time by half by performing tests in parallel.

If you would ask any QA enthusiast who has been associated with the QA industry for quite a long time, the answer would only be Selenium. Especially, if you are wondering to work on web automation testing, Selenium could bring you all the support you need. From different programming languages to ease of recording, running tests on your browser, and extensive support from the open-source community, things can be picked up quite easily with selenium.  

However, if you want to move ahead with a different option, I would probably suggest you work on Test Complete, followed by Katalon Studio. Each of these tools offers record and playback support and can even bring you community support to lead your test project. 

I would name 5 best tools for automation testing, that we use at our work in Sloboda studio

• Selenium
• Selenide
• Telerik Test Studio
• Katalon Studio
• TestComplete

But there’s no universal solution for every case. You should choose a proper tool depends on your budget, project’s requirements and QA programming skills.
