Testing is a critical part of the software development process. There are a lot of different automated software testing tools currently on the market. Some of these tools can perform only specific kinds of testing and work only with specific languages, like, for example, Java application unit testing. Other products support a wide range of applications and offer more features and functionality.
When you start your search for the right automated software testing tool, it’s important to create a list of requirements to review when choosing a tool for evaluation. If you don’t have a list of requirements, you may waste time downloading, installing and evaluating tools that only meet some of your requirements, or may not meet any of them.
Creating a list of requirements is not easy, since you have to take all of your testing needs into account. We have prepared a list of requirements, which are described below. Of course, the list does not include every situation, but it is a good start. You can modify and add to it to get a list that reflects the specifics of your software testing environment.
