How to Choose a Test Automation Tool?

All test automation tools are not alike and all software applications are not alike. So, choosing the right automation tool for your software is a marriage and just like marriages between men and women, each has their reasons for getting married. The automation test tool must have the capabilities that match the software under test and the software under test must have clear objectives for using test automation. If you are software and choosing a mate for software test automation, here are some of the things you should consider:

• Reporting and scheduling capabilities
• Integration with other tools such as test case and test planning tools
• Supports functionally rich applications and test scenarios
• Supports flexible parameterization and architecture
• User-friendly definition and execution of tests
