Techopedia Explains Automated Website Testing
Before automated website testing, developers created special test suites to determine site functionality and security.
Automated website testing tools are geared toward achieving a customizable and reusable test suite used to examine every aspect of a website to streamline the workflow with minimal user intervention.
Noted examples of automated testing software are:
- Selenium: Its purpose is Web browser automation but also can be used for automated testing and administrative website tasks
- Ranorex: Used for automated testing of websites, desktop and mobile applications
- Sahi: Open source testing automation tool for Web applications
- Watir: Web application testing tool that pragmatically controls a Web browser, unlike other tools that use Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for browser simulation
