A Surwey of Automated Testing Tools

Software applications are widely used in almost every field now-a-days. A full functional application is developed after passing through different phases of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), till the end user starts using it. Testing the application is one of the major tasks of Software Development Life Cycle known as SDLC. This activity is done for the effective performance, tracking out causes of inefficiencies and verifying whether a module or application fulfills the requirements. The purpose is to avoid defects, abnormal behavior, minimize risks of failure and ensure that the system is defect free. Testing can be done in both manually and automatically. Manual ways are not trust worthy because humans make mistakes and machines don’t if it’s programmed correctly. In this paper we have performed critical analysis on the automated testing tools available for .NET (which is a software development platform by Microsoft) determines their effects on effort, quality, productivity and cost of the product [9]
