Automated Software Testing Tools:

  1. Selenium
  2. TestingWhiz
  3.  HPE Unified Functional Testing (HP – UFT formerly QTP)
  4. TestComplete
  5. Ranorex
  6. Sahi
  7. Watir
  8. Tosca Testsuite
  9. Telerik TestStudio
  10. Katalon Studio

He also added that we are getting into a generation where there will be applications developed specifically for the work to be done easily and efficiently. I totally agree with that and believe that we are highly dependent on minimizing our work efforts with the help of various tools.

The gyration of the effort reducing applications are wrapping up the following industries quickly:

  • Application development
  • Software testing
  • VOIPs
  • HR management automation
  • Hospitals
  • Railways

The increased demand for automation is trending in our software testing industry, as well. If you check out any software or application testing communities (i.e., uTest, Quora, etc.), you will find software testers urging for various tools that can be helpful in their day to day testing activities, whether it is for desktop testing, web testing, browser testing, regression testing, web services and API testing, and many more. DZone’s previously covered the need for continuous testing in DevOps.

Here's an overview of the most trending software testing automation tools to help all the software testing folks out there.
