Software Testing Tools

1. INTRODUCTION

Software testing can be stated as the process of verifying and validating


whether a software or application is bug-free, meets the technical requirements as
guided by its design and development, and meets the user requirements effectively and
efficiently by handling all the exceptional and boundary cases. The process of
software testing aims not only at finding faults in the existing software but also at
finding measures to improve the software in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and
usability. Software Testing is a method to assess the functionality of the software
program. The process checks whether the actual software matches the expected
requirements and ensures the software is bug-free. The purpose of software testing is
to identify the errors, faults, or missing requirements in contrast to actual
requirements. It mainly aims at measuring the specification, functionality, and
performance of a software program or application.
The introduction of software testing tools serves as a gateway to understanding
the pivotal role they play in the modern software development landscape. As software
systems become increasingly complex and diverse, ensuring their quality and
reliability has become paramount. Software testing tools provide developers and
quality assurance professionals with a systematic approach to detect defects, validate
functionality, and assess performance throughout the software development lifecycle.
These tools encompass a wide range of functionalities, including unit testing,
integration testing, regression testing, performance testing, and security testing, among
others. Each type of testing tool serves a specific purpose, allowing teams to verify
different aspects of software functionality and performance. Moreover, software
testing tools automate many aspects of the testing process, thereby enhancing
efficiency and reducing the time and effort required for manual testing. They enable
developers to identify and address defects early in the development cycle, minimizing
the risk of costly errors and ensuring that software meets the desired quality standards.
In this introduction, we will explore the various types of software testing tools, their
benefits, and their impact on the software development process.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

The history of software testing tools dates back to the early days of computing,
evolving alongside advancements in technology and software development methodologies.
Here's a brief overview:

Manual Testing Era (1950s-1980s): In the early days of computing, software


testing was primarily a manual process, where developers and testers would execute test
cases manually to identify bugs and errors. This era saw the use of techniques like code
inspection, walkthroughs, and desk checking to ensure software quality.

Emergence of Automated Testing (1980s-1990s): With the growing complexity of


software systems, the need for automated testing became apparent. Tools like
capture/playback utilities, which recorded user interactions and replayed them for testing,
emerged during this period. These tools helped reduce manual effort and improve testing
efficiency.

Introduction of Test Automation Frameworks (1990s-2000s): Test automation


frameworks like JUnit for Java and NUnit for .NET gained popularity during this era.
These frameworks provided developers with the ability to write and execute automated
test cases, enabling continuous integration and regression testing.

Specialized Testing Tools (2000s-Present): The early 2000s witnessed the rise of
specialized testing tools catering to specific testing needs, such as performance testing,
security testing, and usability testing. Tools like Selenium for web application testing and
JMeter for performance testing became widely adopted in the industry.

Shift to Agile and DevOps (2010s-Present): The adoption of Agile and DevOps
methodologies led to a shift-left approach to testing, where testing is integrated earlier into
the software development lifecycle. This prompted the development of testing tools that
seamlessly integrate with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)
pipelines, such as Jenkins, Travis CI, and GitLab CI.

Software Testing Tools

Advancements in AI and ML (2010s-Present): In recent years, there has been a


surge in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in software
testing tools. These technologies are being utilized for tasks such as test case generation.

3. Theory
3.1 Software testing can be divided into two steps:

1. Verification: It refers to the set of tasks that ensure that the software
correctly implements a specific function. It means “Are we building the
product right?”.
2. Validation: It refers to a different set of tasks that ensure that the software
that has been built is traceable to customer requirements. It means “Are we
building the right product?”

3.1.1 Importance of Software Testing:

 Defects can be identified early: Software testing is important because if


there are any bugs they can be identified early and can be fixed before the
delivery of the software.
 Improves quality of software: Software Testing uncovers the defects in the
software, and fixing them improves the quality of the software.
 Increased customer satisfaction: Software testing ensures reliability,
security, and high performance which results in saving time, costs, and
customer satisfaction.
 Helps with scalability: Software testing type non-functional testing helps
to identify the scalability issues and the point where an application might
stop working.
 Saves time and money: After the application is launched it will be very
difficult to trace and resolve the issues, as performing this activity will
incur more costs and time. Thus, it is better to conduct software testing at
regular intervals during software development.

3.1.2 Need for Software Testing:-

Software bugs can cause potential monetary and human loss. There are
many examples in history that clearly depicts that without the testing phase in
software development lot of damage was incurred. Below are some examples:
 1985: Canada’s Therac-25 radiation therapy malfunctioned due to a
software bug and resulted in lethal radiation doses to patients leaving 3
injured and 3 people dead.
 1994: China Airlines Airbus A300 crashed due to a software bug killing 264
people.
 1996: A software bug caused U.S. bank accounts of 823 customers to be
credited with 920 million US dollars.
 1999: A software bug caused the failure of a $1.2 billion military satellite
launch.
 2015: A software bug in fighter plan F-35 resulted in making it unable to
detect targets correctly.
 2015: Bloomberg terminal in London crashed due to a software bug affecting
300,000 traders on the financial market and forcing the government to
postpone the 3bn pound debt sale.
 Starbucks was forced to close more than 60% of its outlet in the U.S. and
Canada due to a software failure in its POS system.

Software Testing Tools

3.2.1 Manual Testing:-

Manual testing is a technique to test the software that is carried out using the
functions and features of an application. In manual software testing, a tester carries out
tests on the software by following a set of predefined test cases. In this testing, testers
make test cases for the codes, test the software, and give the final report about that
software. Manual testing is time-consuming because it is done by humans, and there is
a chance of human errors.

Advantages of Manual Testing:-

 Fast and accurate visual feedback: It detects almost every bug in the software
application and is used to test the dynamically changing GUI designs like layout,
text, etc.
 Less expensive: It is less expensive as it does not require any high-level skill or a
specific type of tool.
 No coding is required: No programming knowledge is required while using the
black box testing method. It is easy to learn for the new testers.
 Efficient for unplanned changes: Manual testing is suitable in case of unplanned
changes to the application, as it can be adopted easily

Department of CE, VTC, Patgaon (Miraj) Page 7


Software Testing Tools

Types of Manual Testing:


There are different methods to implement manual testing but it is broadly classified
Into three types of manual testing. They are.

1. Black-BoxTesting

Evaluate the performance and behavior of software from an end user's point
of view. The tester only has visibility into the inputs and outputs, not the internal
code structure.
2. White-BoxTesting

Evaluate the security and functionality of the product in more detail .This
testing is performed by a developer or QA professional with an understanding of the
internal code behind the software.
3. UnitTesting
Evaluate the performance of individual unit so fan application to confirm that
the functions work as expected. These tests are often performed by developers or QA
professionals.
4. IntegrationTesting
Evaluate an application with two or more components to test how they interact
with one another and work to complete a workflow.
5. SystemTesting

Evaluate the software's performance from end-to-end on call unit and


integration tests have been completed.
6. AcceptanceTesting
As potential end user to confirm that a software design meets the original design
and functionality requirements. This is often performed right before deploying the product.

Software Testing Tools

3.2.2 Automation Testing:-

Automated Testing is a technique where the Tester writes scripts on their own
and uses suitable Software or Automation Tool to test the software. It is an
Automation Process of a Manual Process. It allows for executing repetitive tasks
without the intervention of a Manual Tester.

Advantages of Automation Testing:

 Simplifies Test Case Execution: Automation testing can be left virtually


unattended and thus it allows monitoring of the results at the end of the process.
Thus, simplifying the overall test execution and increasing the efficiency of the
application.
 Improves Reliability of Tests: Automation testing ensures that there is equal focus
on all the areas of the testing, thus ensuring the best quality end product.
 Increases amount of test coverage: Using automation testing, more test cases can
be created and executed for the application under test. Thus, resulting in higher test
coverage and the detection of more bugs. This allows for the testing of more
complex applications and more features can be tested.
 Minimizing Human Interaction: In automation testing, everything is automated
from test case creation to execution thus there are no changes for human error due
to neglect. This reduces the necessity for fixing glitches in the post-release phase.

Department of CE, VTC, Patgaon (Miraj) Page 9


Software Testing Tools

Automation Testing Process:

 Test Tool Selection: There will be some criteria forth Selection of the tool .The
majority of the criteria include :Do we have skilled resources to allocate for
automation tasks, Budget constraints, and Do the tool satisfy our needs?

 Define Scope of Automation: This includes a few basic points such as Framework
should support Automation Scripts, Less Maintenance must be here ,High Return on
Investment, Not many complex Test Cases

 Planning ,Design ,and Development: For this ,we need to Install particular
frameworks or libraries, and start designing and developing the test cases such as
NUnit, JUnit, QUnit, or required Software Automation Tools

 Test Execution: Final Execution of test cases will take place in this phase and it
depends on Language to Language for .NET, we’ll be using NUnit, for Java, we’ll
be using JUnit, for JavaScript, we’ll be using QUnit or Jasmine, etc.

 Maintenance: Creation of Reports generated after Tests and that should be


documented so as to refer to that in future for next iterations.

Software Testing Tools

Types of Automation Testing

1.Regression Testing:-
Regression testing involves retesting the application’s functional and
non- functional facets after developers perform code changes to ensure that
performance isn’t affected. Often when developers identify and fix a bug in a program,
the code revision can cause other bugs to occur. Regression testing helps is late which
change produced the undesirable results. Continual development requires frequent
regression tests throughout an application’s lifecycle.

2.Regression Testing:-

Unit testing ensures that each code object is not relying on other
functional modules or any external code to operate correctly. However, due to the
extreme testing volume, isolation of every code module is not always a practical
solution, especially in large code bases. Automating unit testing helps to increase the
number of individual application components that can undergo testing. In addition, by
breaking the source code down into objects for testing, developers have the freedom to
make changes without affecting any operation in the application.

3.Functional Testing:-

The first screening that software testers perform on newly revised


software is known broadly as functional testing. This testing verifies that each
feature of the software functions as users require. The process checks that the
application under test’s (AUT) user interface interacts correctly with network
applications and connected databases. In addition, high-level software communication
layersreceives secureandworks according to specifications. Functional testing is
concerned with obtaining the expected output from a given input, regardless of any
other variables.

Software Testing Tools

4.GUI Testing Tool:-


Graphical User Interface Testing(GUI)Testing is the process for
ensuring proper functionality of the graphical user interface (GUI) for a specific
application.GUI testing generally evaluates a design of elements such as layout, colors
and also fonts, font sizes, labels, text boxes, text formatting, captions, buttons, lists,
icons, links, and content. GUI testing processes may be either manual or automatic
and are often performed by third- party companies, rather than developers or end
users.

Manual Testing Tool:-


Manual Tastings the Software Testing Technique that is carried out using
then functions and features of an application. In manual testing, at ester carries out test
son the software by following asset of predefined test cases. In this testing, testers
make test cases for the code and test the software and give the final report about that
software. Manual testing is time-consuming testing because it is done by humans and
there is a chance of human errors.
Automation Testing tool:-

an suitable Software or Automation Tool to test the software .It is an Automation
Process of a Manual Process. Allows for executing repetitive tasks without the
intervention of Manual Tester.

Software Testing Tools:-


Software Testing tools are the tools that are used for the testing of software.
Software testing tools are often used to assure firmness, thoroughness, and performance
in testing software products. Unit testing and subsequent integration testing can be
performed by software testing tools. These tools are used to fulfill all the requirements
of planned testing activities. These tools also work as commercial software testing
tools. The quality of the software is evaluated by software testers with the help of
various testing tools.

3.3 Types of Testing Tools

Software testing is of two types, static testing, and dynamic testing. Also, the
tools used during these testing are named accordingly on these testings. Testing tools
can be categorized into two types which are as follows:

1) Static :-
Test Tools: Static test tools are used to work on the static testing processes. In the
testing through these tools, the typical approach is taken. These tools do not test the real
execution of the software. Certain input and output are not required in these tools.
Static test tools consist of the following:
 Flow analyzers: Flow analyzers provides flexibility in the data flow from input to
output.
 Path Tests: It finds the not used code and code with inconsistency in the software.
 Coverage Analyzers: All rationale paths in the software are assured by the coverage
analyzers.
 Interface Analyzers: They check out the consequences of passing variables and data
in the modules.

2) Dynamic Test Tools:

Dynamic testing process is performed by the dynamic test tools. These tools
test the software with existing or current data. Dynamic test tools comprise the
following:
 Test driver: The test driver provides the input data to a module-under-test (MUT).
 Test Beds: It displays source code along with the program under execution at
the same time.
 Emulators: Emulators provide the response facilities which are used to imitate parts
of the system not yet developed.

Department of CE, VTC, Patgaon (Miraj) Page 14


Software Testing Tools

 Mutation Analyzers: They are used for testing the fault tolerance of the system by
knowingly providing the errors in the code of the software.
There is one more categorization of software testing tools. According to
this classification, software testing tools are of 10 types:
