HP Quality Center is Hewlett-Packard’s software quality management product, part of the company’s application lifecycle management (ALM) software suite. | |
IBM Rational Performance Tester is a productivity benchmarking tool that simulates different levels of user load, thereby enabling you to bring test conditions closer to real. This tool uses the current loads to predictively assess the possible future loads. | |
IBM Rational Functional Tester is a comprehensive automated testing tool designed for functional, regression, GUI, and data-driven testing. It offers automated testing capabilities for a wide spectrum of applications, including web-based, .NET, Java, Siebel, and SAP. | |
A phase in software testing where individual units are combined and tested as a group. It exposes faults in the interaction between integrated units. Occurs after unit testing and before validation testing. | |
A client-server program ("generator" of TCP / UDP traffic), is designed to test the bandwidth of an Internet channel between two computers. It is particularly useful when experiencing network speed issues, as you can use iPerf to determine which server is unable to reach maximum throughput. | |
A BDD framework for JavaScript testing (for browsers and Node.js), aims to run on any JavaScript, Python or Ruby-enabled platform, have easy-to-read syntax. Jasmine borrowed many features from RSpec. | |
Mocha, Chai, Jasmine, Jest, Karma, Cucumber, Ava, Sinon, Enzyme, Testdouble, Istanbul, Protractor, Nightwatch, Phantom, Casper, Blue-Ridge, SugarTest, FireUnit, JSLint, QUnit, JSpec, JSLitmus, Selenium, Watir, Sahi | |
BDD framework that helps automate acceptance tests and supports the development process in BDD style. In this framework, business requirements and their acceptance criteria are described in the form of so-called user stories. | |
A JavaScript unit testing framework provided and used by Facebook. It allows to test all JavaScript code including React applications. Sits on top of Jasmine, so the API is nearly identical. | |
A load testing tool used for analyzing and measuring the performance of web services, also it covers categories of tests like functional, regression, etc. Currently it is capable of performing load tests for JDBC connections, FTP, LDAP, SOAP, JMS, POP3, IMAP, HTTP and TCP. | |
An automated Java software testing and static analysis product. It includes technology for Data-flow analysis Unit test-case generation and execution, static analysis, regression testing, runtime error detection, code review, and design by contract. | |
One of the most popular Linux distributions in the community of computer security experts and hackers. The main reason for this is its ability to test for unauthorized access and the provision of hacker software. | |
A testing tool for JavaScript that runs on Node.js, allows to execute JavaScript code in multiple real browsers, it is highly configurable, integrates with popular CI packages. The main goal for Karma is to bring a productive testing environment to developers. | |
Katalon is a comprehensive platform tailored for low-code automated testing across web, API, mobile, and Windows desktop applications. By reducing the need for extensive coding, Katalon is crafted to enhance team efficiency in the software development life cycle and bolster quality assurance efforts. | |
Kobiton is a mobile testing platform designed to help businesses and dev teams test their mobile applications on a wide range of real devices. It provides tools for manual and automated testing, as well as performance testing, to ensure that mobile apps work reliably across different devices, operating systems, and network conditions. | |
TestMu AI (Formerly LambdaTest) is a cross-browser testing platform. It provides cloud-based testing infrastructure that allows developers and testers to perform automated and manual testing of web applications across various browsers, operating systems, and devices. | |
JMeter, NeoLoad, LoadRunner, LoadUI, Siege, Gatling. | |
A type of performance testing used to determine a system's behavior under load conditions, allows subjecting a network or application to a work level approaching the limits of its specifications. | |
A utility for automated load testing. The program can perform testing of various applications, as well as sites of different levels of complexity. When testing, emulates the parallel operation of a large number of virtual users who perform various actions on different scenarios. | |
A load testing tool that provides complex load tests and allows to test the performance by dragging the different components, it focuses on flexibility and usability through its visual interface. | |
Manual testing is a type of Software Testing where Testers manually execute test cases without using any automation tools. Manual Testing is the most primitive of all testing types and helps find bugs in the software system. | |
An extension introduced along with Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010. It is used to create and organize test plans and test cases, and execute manual tests. | |
A JavaScript test framework running on Node.js and in the browser. Runs tests serially, mapping uncaught exceptions to the correct test cases. It creates an environment in which we can use our favorite assert libraries. | |
An open source Java-based testing framework used for effective unit testing of Java applications, allows the creation of test double objects (mock objects) in automated unit tests for TDD or BDD. | |
A software testing technique where the user tests the application by providing random inputs and checking the behavior. These actions do not require any special skills, but sometimes they help to successfully find even complex bugs. | |
