Tutorials SQAThe tools that are listed above are only a very small chunk of the hundreds of testing tools available as a free or licensed application. Among the dilemmas of the SQA team is to select the proper testing tool for the particular website or application.
In selecting the right tool, testers and SQA managers should always start with their objective. Although usually the testers’ objective is to know every bug and error related to the application, testers and developers should also consider writing benchmarks. Through this benchmark, they can assure the application works as expected.
Every tester should understand that each application might require a completely different testing tool. Experience will always tell the testers that a simple automation tool will never work in complex applications.
Aside from this consideration, testers also have the choice to use more than one testing tool. But before getting all the possible testing tools, the SQA team should consider what metrics they are looking for. By determining the numbers they need and the benchmark they are looking for they can easily select the testing tools they can use.
The success of SQA can be determined based on the applications they use. In fact, it can be safely said that the SQA team is only as good as the software they use. Although they can check the application manually, it will take time and it will always be prone to human error. With the right testing tool, the application is tested faster with better accuracy.
