Shulou(Shulou.com)06/01 Report--

People often leave messages on the official account or ask me backstage which tool to use for automated testing or which programming language to learn.

At this time, I always say helplessly:

You should study Python or Java.

You should master Selenium.

Or maybe you need to learn jmeter, well, maybe LoadRunner you should learn.

Maybe SoapUI is a good choice, or you can try PostMan.

In fact, none of these are my real answers. I want to say that focusing on one programming language or one tool may limit your performance, especially the value you can provide at work. If the value you have to offer is gradually deteriorating, your stage may suddenly end and your career will stagnate and be limited.

So, what's the most important? Ability, of course! Below I would like to introduce the 10 best automated testing tools used in 2019, hoping to enrich your knowledge base and open up your career development stage!

In the field of automated testing, there is no doubt about the core position of automation tools. I summarized the top automated testing tools that can help organizations better position themselves and keep up with software testing trends. This list contains open source and commercial automated testing solutions.

1 、 Selenium

WebUI automated testing

Selenium is the most popular open source automated testing framework in web applications. Originated in 2000 and continuously improved for more than a decade, Selenium has become the choice of many Web automation testers, especially those with advanced programming and scripting skills. Selenium has also become the core framework for other open source automated testing tools such as Katalon Studio,Watir,Protractor and Robot Framework.

Selenium supports multiple system environments (Windows,Mac,Linux) as well as multiple browsers (Chrome,FireFox,IE and headless browsers (no interface)). Its scripts can be written in a variety of programming languages, such as Java,Groovy,Python,C#,PHP,Ruby and Perl.

Because of the flexibility of Selenium, testers can write a variety of complex and advanced test scripts to deal with a variety of complex problems. It requires advanced programming skills and pay to build automated testing frameworks and libraries that meet their needs.

2 、 Appium

AppUI automated testing

Appium is an open source tool for automated testing on mobile, supporting iOS and Android platforms, Python, Java and other languages, that is, the same set of Java or Python scripts can be run on both iOS and Android platforms. Appium is a Web S architecture, and the core is a Web server, which provides a set of REST interfaces. When a connection from the client is received, the commands are monitored, then executed on the mobile device, and the results are returned to the client in the HTTP response.

3 、 Jmeter

Interface test, performance test

Apache JMeter is an open source Java desktop application that is mainly used for load testing of web applications. It also supports unit testing and limited functional testing.

It has many good features, such as dynamic reporting, portability, powerful test IDE, etc., and supports different types of applications, protocols, shell scripts, Java objects and databases.

4 、 Postman

Interface test

Postman provides powerful debugging of Web API and HTTP requests, which can send any type of HTTP request (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE...) And can be accompanied by any number of parameters and Headers Not only that, it also provides import and export of test data and environment configuration data, and paid Post Cloud users can create their own Team Library for team collaborative testing and share their test favorites and use case data with the team.

5 、 SoapUI

Interface test

SoapUI is a very popular open source API test automation framework for SOAP and REST. It also supports functional testing, performance testing, data-driven testing, and test reporting.

6 、 Monkey

Stability test

The software is included in sdk and is suitable for android and ios. Through adb shell, pseudorandom events of users or systems are generated.

Stress test results: crashed crash, unresponsive anr

Basic command: adb shell monkey 1000.

7 、 Robot Framework

WebUI automated testing, interface testing

Robot Framework is an open source automation framework that implements keyword-driven methods for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). Robot Framework provides a framework for different test automation requirements. However, its testing capabilities can be further extended by using Python and Java to implement other test libraries. Selenium WebDriver is a common external library in Robot Framework.

Test engineers can use Robot Framework as an automation framework, not only for Web testing, but also for Android and iOS test automation. For testers who are familiar with keyword-driven testing, you can easily learn Robot Framework.

8 、 QTP

WebUI automated testing

QTP is an automated testing tool. The purpose of using QTP is to use it to perform repeated manual tests, mainly for regression testing and testing new versions of the same software. So before testing, you should consider how to test the application, such as testing those functions, operating procedures, input data and expected output data, etc.

QTP is aimed at GUI applications, including traditional Windows applications, as well as the increasingly popular Web applications. It can cover the vast majority of software development technologies, simple and efficient, and has the characteristics of reusable test cases. These include: creating tests, inserting checkpoints, verifying data, enhancing tests, running tests, analyzing results, and maintaining tests.

9 、 LoadRunner

Performance testing

LoadRunner is a load testing tool for predicting system behavior and performance. By identifying and finding problems by simulating tens of millions of users to implement concurrent load and real-time performance monitoring, LoadRunner can test the entire enterprise architecture.

The use of LoadRunner by enterprises can minimize testing time, optimize performance and accelerate the release cycle of application systems. LoadRunner can be applied to automatic load testing of various architectures, and can predict system behavior and evaluate system performance.

10 、 Jenkins

Continuous integration

Automate build compilation, deployment, task execution, test reports, email notifications, etc.

Summary:

Using open source testing tools has many benefits, especially no direct purchase cost, and can be customized, but also has some limitations.

In particular, the lack of professional technical support, limited license support and script maintenance can sometimes become a challenging task.

In order to choose the right automated testing tool, you should make sure that the tool is in an active maintenance state, matches your enterprise business, team, skills, and has experts on the team.

So before choosing a tool, you must study it carefully so that the tool can meet your testing needs and help you perform the test better.
