3 Some key benefit  It ensures higher ROI (Return On Investment)on the initially huge investments done.  You can test 24*7 from a remotely held device as well.  There is less manual intervention, so the possibility of errors diminishes.  It makes the test scripts reusable – need new scripts every time even with changes in the version of the OS on the device and the tests can recur without any errors.  Automation helps you find bugs at an early stage.  Automated tests make the process more reliable and the tests more dependable.  Most importantly, it enables testing in volumes. For instance, it allows you to run tests on thousands of mobile devices. Now, this is impossible with Manual Testing.

4 1. Selenium Selenium is a portable software-testing framework to perform web application testing across various browsers and platforms like Windows, Mac, and Linux. Selenium helps the testers to write tests in various programming languages like Java, PHP, C#, Python, Groovy, Ruby, and Perl. It offers record and playback features to write tests without learning Selenium IDE.

5 Why to use SELENIUM? Selenium is the most popularly used freeware and open source automation tool. The benefits of Selenium for Test Automation are immense. Amongst the many benefits, Selenium is an Open-Source tool and is easy to get started with for functional testing of web applications. Importantly, it enables record and playback for testing web applications and can run multiple scripts across various browsers. Furthermore, the benefits of Selenium test automation hold relevance across diverse business segments

6 Why to use SELENIUM?  Open-Source: As mentioned earlier, the biggest strength of Selenium is that it is a freeware and a portable tool. It has no upfront direct costs involved. The tool can be freely downloaded and the support for it is freely available, as it is community-based.  Supports languages: Selenium supports a range of languages, including Java, Perl, Python, C#, Ruby, Groovy, Java Script, etc. It has its own script, but it doesn’t limit it to that language. It can work with various languages and whatever the developers/testers are comfortable with.

7 Why to use SELENIUM?  Supports Operating Systems: Selenium can operate and support across multiple Operating Systems (OS) like Windows, Mac, Linux, UNIX, etc. With Selenium Suite of solutions, a tailored testing suite can be created over any platform and then executed on another one. For instance, you can create test cases using Windows OS and run it with ease on a Linux based system.  Support across browsers: Selenium provides support across multiple browsers, namely, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. This becomes highly resourceful while executing tests and testing it across various browsers simultaneously. The browsers supported by the Selenium packages are:  Selenium IDE can be used with Firefox as a plug-in  Selenium RC and Webdriver supports diverse browsers such as Internet Explorer

8 Why to use SELENIUM?  Support for programming language and framework Selenium integrates with programming languages and various frameworks. For instance, it can integrate with ANT or Maven type of framework for source code compilation. Further, it can integrate with TestNG testing framework for testing applications and reporting purposes. It can integrate with Jenkins or Hudson for Continuous Integration (CI) and can even integrate with other Open-Source tools to supports other features.  Tests across devices Selenium Test Automation can be implemented for Mobile web application automation on Android, IPhone, and Blackberry. This can help in generating necessary results and address issues on a continuous basis.

9 Why to use SELENIUM?  Constant updates Selenium support is community based and an active community support enable constant updates and upgrades. These upgrades are readily available and do not require specific training. This makes Selenium resourceful and cost-effective as well.  Loaded Selenium Suits Selenium is not just a singular tool or utility, it a loaded package of various testing tools and so is referred to as a Suite. Each tool is designed to cater to different testing needs and requirements of test environments. Additionally, Selenium comes with capabilities to support Selenium IDE, Selenium Grid, and Selenium Remote Control (RC).

10 Why to use SELENIUM?  Ease of implementation Selenium offers a user-friendly interface that helps create and execute tests easily and effectively. Its Open-Source features help users to script their own extensions that makes them easy to develop customized actions and even manipulate at an advanced level. Tests run directly across browsers and the users can watch while the tests are being executed. Additionally, Selenium’s reporting capabilities are one of the reasons for choosing it, as it allows testers to extract the results and take follow-up actions.  Reusability and Add-ons Selenium Test Automation Framework uses scripts that can be tested directly across multiple browsers. Concurrently, it is possible to execute multiple tests with Selenium, as it covers almost all aspects of functional testing by implementing add-on tools that broaden the scope of testing.

11 2. TestingWhiz TestingWhiz is a test automation tool for web, database, cloud, mobile and web services/API testing from Cygnet Infotech.

15 3.HPE Unified Functional Testing (HP – UFT formerly QTP) Unified Functional Testing (QuickTest Professional), popularly known by its acronym UFT is an automation testing tool originally from Mercury Interactive which was acquired by Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2006. UFT is primarily used for functional, regression and service testing. Using UFT, youHP QTP can automate user actions on a web or client based computer application and test the same actions for different users, different data set, on various Windows operating systems and/or different browsers. Automation using UFT if planned and executed in a proper manner can save considerable time and money.

16 Why to Use HPE Unified Functional Testing (HP – UFT formerly QTP)  1 ) HP UFT = HP QuickTest Professional + HP Service Test: UFT (Unified functional testing) name reveals that is a combination of “HP QuickTest Professional” and “HP Service Test”, means; UFT software package includes all features of QTP and service test both. This integrated HP Unified Functional Testing package facilitates developers and testers to test three layers of the software applications; the Interface layer, the service layer and database layer. QTP only support GUI testing to test the functionalities of Windows and Web applications, but UFT support GUI and API testing both.

17 Why to Use HPE Unified Functional Testing (HP – UFT formerly QTP) 2) Browsers supported by QTP and UFT: UFT runs on all main browsers that user uses regularly for their daily task, like; Internet Explorer v6 -v11, Firefox v3.0 – v31 (uses appropriate patches and service packs), Google Chrome v12 – v35, and Apple Safari (on remote Mac PC) v6, v6.10, v7.00, but QTP basically runs on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome till v36, and Firefox browsers, but not on Apple Safari depends on patches and service packs used. Using Apple Safari browser, UFT runs the test on remote Mac PC efficiently due to secure communication between the UFT PC and the Mac PC, detect the browser object during test to take the snapshot. 3) OS supported by QTP and UFT: UTF runs on OS: Windows XP/Vista/2003/7/8/8.1 and Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012 R2 QTP runs on OS: Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 and Windows Server 2008

18 Why to Use HPE Unified Functional Testing (HP – UFT formerly QTP)  4) UFT Installation is faster and secure : Although, UFT installation package is smaller than all previous versions; installation process has become very faster and secure, also it takes very less time during installation. Additionally, UFT provides option to install add-in for ALM and the Run Result Viewer with the installation package, installation process can be in any supported language by UFT; no need to install a separate language pack. During installation, it installs and configures all necessary software, tools and add-ins required to run UFT. Securely install the package without disabling the User Account Control (UAC) for your PC.  5) UFT provides all services at one common place (IDE): UFT v11.5: QTP has distinct options for functional testing; one for GUI testing and another for non-GUI using API Service Test. But, Unified functional Testing (UFT) is a combination of both products (GUI and API) and its features and displays in one common user interface. Initially to test the application, user can choose any one of the option “GUI or API (Service test)” from the “Start page” as per the requirement. 6) UFT’s improved Debug process using many Features:
