Using automated testing tools have various advantages over using human testers for testing a web site, software, mobile application or any other related products. Automated tools are reliable and controllable and faster; the results on the test report from tools can be compared with expected results. Even though those tools are automated, few human interactions may be needed to initiate and setup the product. Let us discuss more benefits of using an automated testing tool.
By using automated tools, it is not required to do cross browser testing as well as no need to write any scripts to test the applications. Testing can be done just with few clicks with help of such tools. Functionality and user-friendliness can be easily tested with automated tools. One can easily setup, record and do customized testing with these tools. Many automation tool developing companies usually have help desk, online support, installation, user manual and other related documents on online (or they may send those on purchasing the tool). To do batch testing, automation tools are very useful; because human testers may get tired and may not be reliable.
In the view of organizations, the automated tools helps to reduce cost (human resource cost) as well as the life-time of the tools is comparatively high (staffs may leave in few months time or soon, but not the automated tools). The productivity from these tools can be noticed in short-time period, but with human testers it may need some time for them to get used to the testing procedures.
Not only paid automated testing tools, there are open-source tools too available in the market. These open source automated tools may require some programming skills to customize and use it, so it is a better testing tool for programmers themselves to check their coding and programs before pass their finished version to testing department/team.
