Introduction

The acceptance of automation in the software testing industry is a testament to the advantages that come along with it. Not only does automation save copious amounts of time but also removes the scope for errors caused by human factors. A wide range of tools is available today to help testers automate their test scripts. Choosing the correct testing tool for your applications is imperative to the success of the project. In this blog, I will be writing on the top 10 mobile testing tools, that you could use for a successful application testing engagement

The following tools have been in discussed in this blog:

  1. TestComplete
  2. Kobiton
  3. Calabash
  4. Appium
  5. Monkey Talk
  6. EarlGrey
  7. Testdroid
  8. Appium Studio
  9. Robotium
  10. Experitest
  11. Choosing the Right Tool

    Before we start discussing the tool, let's go over the key factors a testing team should keep in mind before choosing a particular tool for testing an application.

    • Any one tool may not be sufficient to test various features of an application.
    • Rigorous research must be put into the software product that is going to be tested.
    • Functionalities that will go through automation testing must be clearly chalked out before the beginning of the testing phase.
    • Backup tools must be kept ready, just in case a certain tool fails to deliver.
    • The chosen testing tool must be discussed with the involved team and other third parties involved in the project.
