How to Select Automation Testing Tools

I don’t think there is one tool that all teams should use as their software testing technique. What you decide to choose should be based on your team’s unique needs.

I always recommend, regardless of what automation testing process or tools are selected, to do these:

  1. A two-week proof of concept (POC)
  2. Make sure the solution actually fits in with your team's development workflow.

Selenium WebDriver

Selenium Automation Logo | TestGuild

OK–this is a no-brainer. Selenium is now the leading open-source automated regression testing option for browser-based website automation.

But, Selenium is not a standalone testing tool.

Advantages

  • It’s an API that allows you to programmatically write tests using most programming languages to interact with a browser as a real user would.
  • This is probably one of the most popular website automation testing tools listed. In fact, you can't start a list of automation tools without having Selenium first.
  • It is also the quality software that started the Agile and DevOps automation revolution and is in most demand in SDET job descriptions.

Playwright

Playwright is a robust cross-browser automation library designed for end-to-end testing of modern web applications. Launched as a fork from Puppeteer in 2019, Playwright supports all major rendering engines like Chromium, Webkit, and Firefox, and it's compatible across multiple platforms. It's particularly praised for its ability to emulate native mobile browsers and its comprehensive set of features that prevent flaky tests, such as auto-wait functionality and web-first assertions.

A standout feature of Playwright is its out-of-process operation, which aligns with modern browser architectures, freeing it from the limitations typically associated with in-process test runners. This design allows it to handle scenarios that span multiple tabs, origins, and users, making it highly effective for complex, dynamic web applications 3 . Additionally, Playwright ensures test isolation and fast execution by creating a new browser context for each test, which is akin to a fresh browser profile for every run .

For developers and testers, Playwright offers powerful tooling like code generation through action recording, an inspector for page inspection and selector generation, and a trace viewer to capture all necessary information for investigating test failures. Its support for multiple programming languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, and C#, enhances its versatility, making it a preferred choice for teams with diverse programming skills.

Cypress.io

Cypress Automation Testing Framework | TestGuild

Compared to most of the other tools on this list, Cypress is a more developer-centric test automation framework that focuses on making test-driven development (TDD) a reality for developers.

Advantages

  • One of its design principles was to be able to package and bundle everything together to make the entire end-to-end testing experience pleasant and simple.
  • It has a different architecture than Selenium; while Selenium WebDriver runs remotely outside the browser, Cypress runs inside of it. This approach delivers more consistent results since it can understand everything that happens inside and outside the browser.
  • It also gives you native access to every object without requiring you to deal with object serialization or over-the-wire protocols. You’re pulling your application into Cypress. As a result, it can synchronously notify you of every single thing that happens inside the browser so that you have native access to every distributed object model (DOM) element.
  • Cypress also makes it easy to drop a debugger into your application, which in turn makes it easier to use the developer tools while you’re developing.

Of all the automation testing tools listed here, Cypress is the one that I hear most developers prefer to use.

Cucumber

Cucumber BDD Automation | TestGuild

Cucumber was not designed to be an automation test tool; it’s a tool that helps convert and removes ambiguity from requirements before your team invests time in writing code.

Advantages

  • Once you’ve created test scenarios, you can generate what they can “executable specifications,” using whatever automation library is supported by the programming language you use.
  • Although Cucumber’s main benefit is helping communication and collaboration, many teams use it simply as an automated testing tools framework.

If you decide to use Cucumber, I highly recommend reading The Cucumber Book: Behavior-Driven Development for Testers and Developers.

Serenity

Serenity Automation Tool | TestGuild

If you need an automated test tool Java-based framework that integrates with behavior-driven development (BDD) tools such as Cucumber and JBehave, and lets you keep your test creation at a high level while accommodating lower-level implementation details in your reports, Serenity BDD (formerly Thucydides) might be the tool for you. It's designed to make writing automated acceptance and regression tests easier.

Advantages

  • Serenity acts as a wrapper on top of Selenium WebDriver and BDD tools. It makes writing BDD and Selenium tests easier because it abstracts away much of the boilerplate code you sometimes need to write to get started.
  • Serenity also offers plenty of built-in functionality. This includes such as handling WebDriver management, managing state between steps, taking screenshots, running tests in parallel, facilitating Jira integration, and more—all without having to write a single line of code.
  • Serenity creates highly detailed reports. Out of the box, it creates living documentation you can use not only to view your Selenium BDD test results but also as documentation for your application.
  • It also has an extra annotation method called @Step. When used correctly, @Step gives you an extra level of abstraction that makes your tests more reusable and maintainable.
  • Serenity takes care of many things you would typically have to code from scratch if you were creating your own BDD framework. It’s one of the better open-source frameworks available, although I might be a bit biased; it’s the tool I use for my day-to-day test automation efforts.

John Ferguson Smart also wrote an excellent book on BDD in Action that includes tips and tricks for using Serenity and other automated testing process tools.
