When considering tool support/automation identify all the activities where tool support could be beneficial and prioritise them to identify the most important. Although test running tools are the most popular, this may not be the best place to introduce tool support first.

 

Also consider

  • tool Requirements
  • CAST readiness
  • Environment contsraints
  • tool integration#

job of selecting a suitable test tool should be considered as a process comprising four stages:

 

?  produce a candidate tool shortlist;

?  arrange demonstrations;

?  evaluate the selected tool(s);

?  review and select tool.
