Whats the best way to choose a test automation tool?
Some of the points that can be noted before choosing a tool would be: a. Analyze the non-automated testing situation to determine the testing activity that is being performed. b. Testing procedures that are time consuming and repetition. c. Cost/Budget of tool, Training and implementation factors. d. Evaluation of the chosen tool to explore the benefits.
It’s easy to get caught up in enthusiasm for the ‘silver bullet’ of test automation, where the dream is that a single mouse click can initialize thorough unattended testing of an entire software application, bugs will be automatically reported, and easy-to-understand summary reports will be waiting in the manager’s in-box in the morning.
