Top Trending Tools : Automation Testing
The demand for

performed and whether the benefits of automation can be delivered.
Here are the top test
automation tools those are believed and used as they face the challenges in automation in the next few years.
1) Selenium :-
Selenium is
the household and popular name when it comes to test automation. It is considered the
industry standard for user interface automation testing of web applications. Almost nine testers out of ten testers use or have used Selenium to test Web Applications.
There are two main parts of Selenium:
- Selenium IDE is an integrated
development environment for selenium, It is implemented as a Chrome and Firefox
extension, and allows you to record, edit and debug tests. User can use
Selenium IDE without any prerequisite and prior programming knowledge.
The second part is Selenium Web driver. To use Selenium Web driver effectively, the users have to possess advanced programming skills and need to
spend considerable time to build automation frameworks and libraries necessary
for automation.
Testers can
write test scripts in many different languages such as Java, Groovy, Python,
C#, PHP, Ruby, Perl at run on multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) and
browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer).
2) TestComplete :-
Testcomplete is very popular tool and in the list this year for its powerful
and comprehensive set of features for Web, mobile, and desktop application testing.
Testers can use JavaScript, VBScript, Python or C++Script to write test
scripts.
TestComplete has an Object Recognition Engine that accurately detects dynamic user interface (UI)
elements. This engine is especially useful in applications that have dynamic
and constantly changing user interfaces.
3) SoapUI :-
SoapUI is not a test automation tool for Web or mobile app testing but,
it is a tool to test API and Services. It is a headless functional testing tool
specifically designed for API testing.
SoapUI supports both REST and SOAP services. API automation testers can
use either the open-source or pro version. The pro edition has a user-friendly interface
