Submitted by: raghuramsuravarapu There are 2 different approaches available for any company before evaluation/selection of an automation testing tool :
(1) Open Source Automation testing tools: Free of Cost. Less/No tech support.
(2) Licensed Automation testing tools: Cost/license, Full/Partial Support depends on the purchase.
Licensed Automation testing tools are the best at their performance when compared to the Open Source. But costlier tools like QTP/Winrunner/Rational/ Ranorex etc should be evaluated properly according to the company requirements before selection. Advantage of Open source automation testing tools is they are free and reduces the risk to the company in finances. If evaluated properly and selected as per the requirements, it may be a cost effective and reap more benifits with no investment.
Following is the criteria, which i look before evaluation of an automation testing tool:
(1) Ease of use. (2) Ease of Installation. (3) Multiple OS Support. (4) Multiple Language Support. (5) Integration with 3 party tools. (6) Report Generation. (7) Desktop/Web products testing (8) Data Driven testing using excel etc
