There are many automation testing tools that have played a key role in carrying out various software development projects with utmost efficiency along with profitable and productive outcomes. In this article, you will get to know about the five best test automation tools that play a pivotal role in the software development process. Following are the five best automation testing tools: 1. Appium: It is an open-source test automation tool intended to test mobile applications. It supports the automation of hybrid, native and mobile web applications that are built on Android and iOS. Appium uses vendor-provided automation frameworks and is based on server architecture. It can be easily installed. Appium is known for its stability and is known to be one of the best mobile test automation tools. Key features: • SDK is not required for testing native apps • It can automate any mobile application from any test framework and any language • It has vast community support and an accessible documentation suite is also provided. 2. Selenium: It is an open-source test automation tool exclusively used for testing web applications. Selenium test scripts can be written in popular programming languages such as Perl, PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, C# etc. It can also be easily executed on varied operating system platforms and multiple browsers. With Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment), record and playback features are provided. Key features: • Advanced and complex automation scripts can be created by Selenium WebDriver • It acts as a base for most of the software testing tools • It supports parallel test execution due to which test execution time is reduced 3. Katalon Studio: It is an automation testing tool that supports both mobile and web application development environments. It works on top of appium and selenium, thereby simplifying mobile, web and API tests. It can be easily integrated with tools such as Slack, Git, Kobiton, JIRA etc. It provides robustness and stability. Test scripts can be created with codeless execution. It supports CI/CD integration and a data-driven approach. Key features: • Key features such as code inspection, auto-formatting and auto-completion can be used while executing tests • The capabilities of Katalon can be upgraded with the help of plugins and the tool works with JavaScript and Groovy languages. 4. Cucumber: It is an open-source test automation tool that supports Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).
