In-general ,before identifying any automation tool,first ensure the requirements or automation scope of project. Which will helpful to identify right tool in shorter period of time. I have listed ,what are general parameters which need to be consider to identify tool..
Web Application Testing
- To check the browser support (IE, Mozilla , chrome)
- Version of browser is important during selection of tool
- Is there any available to intimate the page loading?
- Can I wait to image or page to load ?
- can i check the availability of objects like its enabled , visible, disabled or contains…?
- Can I extract data from web page like all or within methods
Framework design support
- Page Object Model or Object Mapping
- Test/Error recovery
- Support for Graphical User interface (Flex, Silverlight)
- Operating system support (Linux, Mac, Windows)..
- Third party components usage
- Support (licensed or open source). If its open source then check community support.
- Test Report and Parallel execution of script.
Database testing
All application provide facility to keep data outside itself . This can be achieved through by introducing databases (oracle, db2 , postgres). All databases will use common query SQL and use ODBC drivers to communicate databases. We need to check any available tool to execute or manipulate datas like store procedures.
Data
1. How can we separate data from scripts ?
2. can you generate data automatically ?
3. How can we keep seed or data dump updated always ?
4. How can we randomize the access to data ?
