Testing tools a techie must know


-Abbhirami


     It has been a long time since I posted about tech stuffs I think. I was digressing away and all of sudden I thought that I must be telling you some of the facts that I really know about some testing software that are available as an open source.
Open source are some of the coolest things you should be trying out. There are loads of tools out there available which is used for specific tasks.


On broader range they can be classified this way:
1) Testing tools for web application
2)Testing tools for mobile application
3)Testing tools for desktop application


On taking each category which can further be classified into:
1)Performance testing software
2)Speed testing software
3)Memory management testing software
4)Hardware compatibility software(We’ll focus on software only)
5)Compatibility testing software


So  what exactly means by an Open –source software ?
Open source as the name says software that available on internet for free of cost, open to all and which can extended by any of it’s user.
Looking at the web application testing software tool (open source)


1)      Selenium


     Selenium is an open source software testing tool for web application.Selenium has its tool suite containing Selenium 2.0, Selenium 1 or Selenium RC(Remote control) , Selenium IDE, Selenium Grid.These are mainly preferred for regression testing. And this seems to be one of the fastest prototyping tool(Selenium IDE).  


     As for now a little bit of idea is enough and we’ll get to see about other tools in the upcoming posts.
