A Systematic Literature Review of Automated Software Testing Tool

Automated software testing has proven its value for software development increasingly over the past few years. Software testing is an important phase in the entire software development process. There are various automated software testing tools are available today, which are used for testing various software applications whether it is desktop-based, mobile application, or a Web-based application. Evaluating a software testing tool is rather a subjective task, depending on the evaluator’s opinions rather than based on the objective approach. For this purpose, we have studied research papers, articles, journals, books, conference papers, few Web sites, etc., related with the study of software testing tools based on which we performed a survey of various automated software testing tools, i.e., Selenium, Watir, QTP, TestComplete, WinRunner, LoadRunner, SilkTest, Apache Jmeter, Wapt, Tellurium, Web Load, NeoLoad, LoadUI, Appvance, rational performance tester, SahiPro, Telerik Test Studio, Ranorex, Storm, Soap UI, TestNG, FitNese, Xebium, etc. The purpose of this research work is to summarize the existing literature and to establish an overview of the existing automated software testing tool to benefit the practice of users and for future research. We are attempting to provide detailed insight into automated software testing tools which can help the tester to choose the tool most suited to test his/her application.
