Testing has become testing, a particular website or a web application..The most important parameter in the case of software purpose of this project is to invent our own test tool which development lifecycle (SDLC). Testing automation tools will give more sophisticated outcomes then the cucumber enables developers and testers to easily automate the entire tool which will be using .The outcome of our research tool process of testing in software development. It is to examine & should be more better then the testing tool which is already modify source code. The objective of the paper is to conduct available in the market that is cucumber tool.. [3]. The paper a comparative study of automated tools such as available in tries to investigate and evaluate the effect of automation market in Selenium and cucumber test tool. The aim of this testing such as GUI and back end testing.

  • Comparative Analysis of Open Source Automated Software Testing Tools: Selenium, Sikuli and Watir
    International Journal of Information & Computation Technology. ISSN 0974-2239 Volume 4, Number 15 (2014), pp. 1507-1518 © International Research Publications House http://www. irphouse.com Comparative Analysis of Open Source Automated Software Testing Tools: Selenium, Sikuli and Watir Inderjeet Singh and Bindia Tarika Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College Ludhiana, [email protected] Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College Ludhiana, [email protected] Abstract Testing is one of the important aspects of Software Engineering and there is wide availability of open source software testing tools in this category of which Selenium, Sikuli and Watir are usually used open source automated testing tools. This paper presents the comparative analysis of these different tools in terms of their recording capabilities, Data Driven Testing, Efficiency, Languages Supported, Test and Code Reusability that conclude the effectiveness of testing tool under these parameters Keywords: Selenium RC, Selenium IDE, Selenium Web Driver, Sikuli, Watir, Eclipse Introduction Software testing is one the main component in developing software successfully and to ensure its correctness about the operation which it is expected to perform under different input cases. Various strategies or methods exist for performing software testing, major of which are Black Box and White Box Testing. Where Black Box testing gives an abstract view of operations performed by entire software, White Box testing gives detailed view about how the process of the software are carried out [1]. Other Classification of the Software testing techniques can be done accordingly how the testing is carried out [2]. According to this classification testing can be either Manual Testing or Automated Testing Manual Testing is carried out by preparing test cases manually and is more prone to human errors where as Automatic Testing is carried out by recording the various test cases on the basis of what actions had user performed.

  • Benchmarking Web-Testing - Selenium Versus Watir and the Choice of Programming Language and Browser
    Benchmarking Web-testing - Selenium versus Watir and the Choice of Programming Language and Browser Miikka Kuutila, M3S, ITEE, University of Oulu, Finland Mika Mäntylä, M3S, ITEE, University of Oulu, Finland Päivi Raulamo-Jurvanen, M3S, ITEE, University of Oulu, Finland Email: [email protected], Postal address: P.O.Box 8000 FI-90014 University of Oulu Abstract Context: Selenium is claimed to be the most popular software test automation tool. Past academic works have mainly neglected testing tools in favour of more methodological topics. Objective: We investigated the performance of web-testing tools, to provide empirical evidence supporting choices in software test tool selection and configuration. Method: We used 4*5 factorial design to study 20 different configurations for testing a web-store. We studied 5 programming language bindings (C#, Java, Python, and Ruby for Selenium, while Watir supports Ruby only) and 4 Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. Performance was measured with execution time, memory usage, length of the test scripts and stability of the tests. Results: Considering all measures the best configuration was Selenium with Python language binding for Google Chrome. Selenium with Python bindings was the best option for all browsers. The effect size of the difference between the slowest and fastest configuration was very high (Cohen’s d=41.5, 91% increase in execution time). Overall Internet Explorer was the fastest browser while having the worst results in the stability. Conclusions: We recommend benchmarking tools before adopting them. Weighting of factors, e.g. how much test stability is one willing to sacrifice for faster performance, affects the decision.

  • Choosing the Right Automation Tool
    VIEW POINT CHOOSING THE RIGHT AUTOMATION TOOL AND FRAMEWORK IS CRITICAL TO PROJECT SUCCESS Harsh Bajaj, Technical Test Lead ECSIVS, Infosys Organizations have become cognizant of the crucial role of testing in the software development life cycle and in delivering high quality software products. As the competition in the IT sector grows stiffer, the pressure to deliver larger number of high quality products with fewer resources in limited time is increasing in intensity. During development cycles software tests need to be repeated to ensure quality. Every time the Introduction source code is modified, test cases must be executed. All iterations in the software need to be tested on all browsers and all supported operating systems. Manual execution of test cases is not only a costly and time-consuming exercise, but it is also prone to error. Automation testing addresses these challenges presented by manual testing. Automation tests can be executed multiple times across iterations much faster than manual test cases, saving time as well as cost. Lengthy tests which are often skipped during manual test execution can be executed unattended on multiple machines with different configurations, thus increasing the test coverage. Automation testing helps find defects or issues which are often overlooked during manual testing or are impossible to detect manually – for example, spelling mistakes or hard coding in the application code. Automaton also boosts the confidence of the testing team by automating repetitive tasks and enabling the team to focus on challenging and high risk projects. Team members can improve their skill sets by learning new tools and technologies and pass on the gains to the organization.
