1. Tricentis Tosca:
It is an effective continuous testing platform that accelerates testing with a script-less and no-code
approach to facilitate end-to-end test automation. This tool delivers faster and continuous feedback that is
highly required for today’s agile and DevOps processes. This tool drastically reduces the overall regression
testing time to minutes and maximizes the options of re-use and maintainability. One of its best features is
that it integrates and you can extend existing test assets of HPUFT, Selenium, SOAPUI, etc.
Telerik Test Studio: It is an automated functional testing studio used for test automation of modern web
applications. It is an effective tool used for regression testing, functional testing, load testing of web and
WPF applications. Basically, it is a windows-based software testing tool used for web apps and desktop
apps functional testing.
Selenium:
Selenium is available as an open-source tool and is a publicly accessible test automation framework. The
ease of this tool is its flexibility to support languages such as Ruby, Perl, Java, Python, JavaScript, C#,
wherein scripts can be written and this tool converts them into selenium compatible codes. The significant
advantage of this tool is that it supports all web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera,
and Edge browsers.
It enables to record and playback for testing web applications and can run multiple scripts across various
browsers. In addition, this framework is highly useful for developers as they can analyze the code due to its
screenshot property. The tests are simple and easy to maintain and it is also easy to repair the test suites
of the application using this framework.
TestComplete:
This is the industry’s first automation testing tool with a hybrid object and visual recognition engine that is
used to test every desktop, web, and mobile applications. It is an automated UI testing tool and is easy to
create, maintain and execute functional tests across various types of applications.
This tool is used to get maximum test coverage with a hybrid engine property based along with an
AI-enabled visual recognition to test different types of applications. It consists of record and playback or
key-driven tests to easily create automated UI tests. Another important feature is its support to write one
automated test script to test HTML/HTML5 web applications across all browsers such as chrome, IE, Opera,
Egde, etc.
HP UFT:
This HP’s Unified Functional testing tool is a widely used tool and helps to accelerate test automation for
web, mobile, API, RPA and enterprise applications. This tool can be used to accelerate the end-to-end testing
of 200+ enterprise apps, technologies, and environments. The efficiency of this tool is that its support for
testing more in less time along with its support for parallel testing and cross-browser testing.
SOAPUI:
This is the most commonly used cross-platform automated testing tool for SOAP and REST APIs. It is
available as an open-source tool. Testers can automate both functional tests as well as non-functional tests
and can execute compliance, regression, security and load tests for Web APIs. The best feature around this
tool is that it supports all the standard protocols and technologies to test all kinds of APIs.

CONCLUSION
Websites, web apps and desktop applications form an important component of businesses today. It is critical
for their websites to deliver stable and flawless performance across browsers and even under loads. Users and
visitors refrain from websites that throw errors or bugs and would prefer to stay away from such web apps.
WEB APPLICATION
AUTOMATED TESTING
TYPES AND TOOLS
Web application automated testing or rather automated website testing involves usage of various types of
software automation testing tools to evaluate the performance of a website.
Functionality Testing:
The topmost priority for the success of a website is that its functionality across web pages, forms, database
connection, call-to-action forms should all work seamlessly. If the user faces any sort of errors or bugs
during their visit, they would refrain from visiting the website again and this might cost to businesses.
Hence, validations across all field, default value checking, along with cookies testing should be taken up to
deliver great user experience all along the website.
Web Usability Testing:
Today’s customers need smooth sailing all along the website and web apps to ensure the users get a great
user experience while navigating all along. The website should be easy to navigate, popups and messages
should be clear with tooltips if needed, and the website should be consistent enough to attract and retain
the visitor.
Interface Testing:
It is important to test whether all interactions between the app server and the webserver run smoothly.
Effectively, compatibility of the software, hardware, network and the database should be tested to check if
all the interactions work unified. The two main interfaces of web server with application interface and
application server along with database server interface and these interfaces should be tested for any errors
or exceptions.
Website Compatibility Testing:
The compatibility of the website across different browsers, operating systems, and mobile browsing
options should be taken into consideration. Browser compatibility testing using cross-browser automated
web application testing tools should be taken up.
Performance Testing:
The other most important factor for your websites and web applications is that they should deliver flawless
performance even under loads. Effective web load testing and web stress testing should be taken up by
next-gen performance testing provider to ensure your websites deliver great user experience even when
numerous users access the same page.
Web Accessibility Testing:
Today, it has become a mandate that websites should be made accessible to differently-abled people which
includes visually impaired, hearing, cognitive, and motor limitations and other impairments. It is important
that business websites should be cater to people with impaired vision, color blindness, deafness, moto
impairment, and mobility impairments.
Security Testing:
As today’s cyber world is more vulnerable to threats and vulnerabilities, the security of customer data and
website availability are the key concerns for businesses. Any sort of security lapses in the website could
have impacts such as loss of customer trust, legal repercussions or might even cause a greater impact on
their brand.
Techopedia defines Automated website testing as a process in
which various software tools are used to evaluate the performance
of a website. The process streamlines and standardizes website
testing parameters for configuration changes that occur during the
development phase, thus conserving resources and delivering
consistent results to site owners and administrators.
The different types of automated web applications consist of
testing the functionality, usability, compatibility across different
browsers, testing the performance of the websites and web apps
under load and stress along with testing the websites accessibility
and security aspects.
