Charanya R.
Abstract: Testing the software is an important part of the
Software Development Life Cycle. In present day, the software
industry’s focus is on developing quality applications. In order to
save time and costs when evaluating a program, most testers have
moved from manual testing to automated testing. A large variety
of software testing tools, open-source as well as commercial, are
available in the market. It is quite a challenging task to select a
testing tool that fits best to their software, as the choices keep
getting wider. With more choices comes also the increased
spectrum of software testing tool features with cost variations.
Web application tools help the developers to test their software
quite comfortably and are widely used today. With the integration
of testing tools and web browsers, testing has become modular.
When choosing an appropriate software testing tool, there are
many factors which come into play to make this decision apt for a
particular software to be tested. Testing tools are either
automated or manual. The tool selection is done on parameters
which best suit the tester. The purpose of this study is to identify
and compare the popular testing tools and provide a review based
on parameters which are suitable. This paper provides a
comparative review of features of open source and commercial
testing tools in a tabular format, based on these different
parameters. It also lists down descriptions and features of various
testing tools so that users and developers can opt for the
appropriate tools based on their demands and requirements.
Keywords: Automation Testing, Manual Testing, Software

I. INTRODUCTION
The advancement of software technologies has been
radical over the last decade but, with the increase in the
complexity of such softwares so comes the need of testing
such softwares for bugs and logical errors to help facilitate
better use of software for the user. This highlights the
importance of software testing tools and the constant need to
improve such tools. An estimate of around 30% of software
development activities comprises software testing. Every
software has its own functionalities to be tested at various
stages throughout the testing process and hence, requires
various software testing tools.

Software testing is an integral and vital part of the software
development life cycle (SDLC) and includes various
different types of testing. Testing can be broadly divided
into two main categories of testing namely, Manual testing
and Automation Testing. Manual testing is where the
software is tested manually and is slower and a more
comprehensive approach but can handle complex test cases
better. Automation testing executes a test script covering
many permutations for testing and is a faster approach but
code has to be maintained. Both have their own merits and
demerits and their usage depends upon the tester. With
growing needs, the need for Automation testing has also
increased due to its ability to test an entire suite of test cases
in a more time efficient manner. Testing can be further
classified into Functional testing and Non-Functional
testing. Functional testing tests the important functions for a
particular product and it includes Unit testing, Integration
Testing, Regression Testing, Smoke testing, Critical path
testing and Extended testing. Non-Functional testing does
not involve testing core functions of the product but rather
how the system operates, mainly the performance,
reliability, usability and security. This type of testing
includes Performance testing which further includes Load
testing, stress testing, endurance testing and spike testing.
Non-Functional testing also includes UI testing,
configuration testing and security testing. With such varied
tests, it is necessary to choose software testing tools which
are efficient and cost effective, preferably containing a suite
of different tools for different types of testing. Some of the
popular automated testing tools such as Selenium, Cypress
and WinRunner are used to execute a test case suite for
various testing methodologies. Some other testing tools such
as LoadRunner and Jmeter are used for performance testing
of web applications. This paper aims to provide a
comparison between different automation testing tools for
web applications and analyse data to improve software
quality.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
As new softwares are being developed, so are the tools to
test them and one of the leading tools for web application
testing is Selenium. Selenium is a highly versatile
automation test tool that supports almost all programming
languages and features a suite of testing tools and IDE’s
[12]. Before identifying the tool, it has to be clear as to the
requirement of the tool and the function it has to perform.
Hence before approaching any tool, Selection has to be done
depending upon factors such as identifying the test required,
whether manual testing or automated testing and the
importance of testing[1]. There are a number of software
testing tools which can be used for various purposes ranging
from unit testing to integration testing and end-to-end
testing.

Every application has its own unique test case suite
depending upon which an appropriate tool is to be selected
[11]. Some of the other popular tools in this respective space
are LoadRunner, JUnit, Cypress, UFT etc. each used for a
different purpose, with UFT, LoadRunner and JUnit being
contenders for performance testing of web applications [4].
Each of these tools have advantages and disadvantages
depending upon their features and usability. According to
[6], a performance test of web application tools Selenium
and Katalon proved that each tool has its own properties
which make it more of a user’s choice and their preferences
with respect to the tool. The preference of open source tools
has increased because of their cost effectiveness and also
that they have been performing better when compared to
proprietary tools[5], which gives tools like Selenium the
upper hand when compared to tools like UFT. Various
Testing tools have been compared and contrasted to provide
better insight as to what the user needs and that a suitable
test strategy is required when approaching any testing
activity [8]. Automation of testing has been very important
for many industries and amongst automation tools, Selenium
has been used quite popularly [14]. Although there are many
tools available, we compared some of the most popular tools
used and provided a survey on the tool and its properties.
Here, a brief description of the different software testing
tools is given. Their features, advantages and disadvantages
are mentioned in the following Table1 below: LoadRunner
[4][7-9][13][15][20] is a software testing tool developed by
Mercury which was later acquired by Hewlett Packard in
2006 and later by Micro Focus in 2016. It is used to test
applications, to measure system behaviour and performance
under load. JUnit [1][4] is a test unit for the Java
programming language unit. JUnit has been instrumental in
the development of experimental development, and is one of
the family of joint unit testing units known as xUnit,
founded by JUnit. Cypress [6][21][22], developed by
Cypress.io, is a JavaScript-based frontend testing tool. It is
built in keeping with the changing needs of the modern web.
QTP (Quick test professional) renamed as UFT (Unified
Functional Testing) [1][4-8][10][13][14][19-21] is an
automated testing tool that helps testers perform automatic
debugging tests to detect any errors, defects or gaps as
opposed to the expected results of the application under test.
It was designed by Mercury Interactive and later acquired by
Hewlett Packard and now Micro Focus. Selenium [1][3][5-
10][12-14][18-20] is an open-source web browser
automation tool. One of the most widely used automated
testing frameworks is Selenium. Selenium is a framework
for supporting and encouraging automated testing of web-
based applications across a variety of browsers and
platforms. Selenium IDE, Selenium RC, WebDriver, and
Selenium Grid are the four main components of the
Selenium suite. Rapise [21][22] is a powerful script less test
automation platform for online, mobile, and desktop apps, as
well as APIs. For automated acceptance and regression
testing, Serenity BDD (Behaviour-driven development)
[21][22] is a selenium alternative. It's one of the best
Selenium alternatives for generating test reports that
document and describe functional test coverage. Galen
[21][22] was originally designed to test the layout of web
applications in a real browser. It has since evolved into a
fully functional testing framework. For visual and layout
testing of online applications, this automation test tool can
be integrated with Selenium. Avo assure [19][20] is a
codeless automation testing tool, It enables the user to test
end to end business applications easily. One can seamlessly
perform testing across web applications, desktops,
associated emulators, mobile, etc. In Kobitan [19],
development and testing teams can automate performance,
compatibility, functional and visual testing across IoT and
real mobile devices. It is a mobile testing platform that
accelerates delivery and testing of mobile apps. It offers
manual and automated testing on real devices, in the cloud
or on premise. For organisations that use software for
operations and development, Zaptest [20][21] is a Software
Automations solution. Organisations can also automate their
back-office operations to develop a seamless and effective
automation framework.

V. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
In the software industry, automation testing is preferred to
improve efficiency and productivity. As automated software
testing has become a necessity for companies, we can
choose which automated testing tool can be used for a
certain type of testing purpose. The testing tool should be
installed easily and quickly, and it should support both users
with no programming skills, and those with good
programming skills. The tool should support integration
with other frameworks and reporting tools, to make it easy
to understand the cause of the failure. Testing tools have
their advantages and disadvantages. Choosing an unsuitable
tool can incur heavy costs and loss of time which can be
problematic to the testers and the company. Out of all the
tools discussed here, Selenium proves to be better with
adaptability and cross compatibility and has a host of
features but to choose a perfect testing tool as per their
requirements, the testers or developers have to deeply
analyse various tools. In the comparative study presented,
the developer can decide upon which tools they need to
consider for their applications.
