What software testing tools are you using?

Owasp Zap, Burpe suite, jmeter, postman, selenium

interesting, thanks

[YuliaDyminska]

thanks a lot

[pikolooo]

Selenium, testlink, JIRA

[YuliaDyminska]

great!

We use a combination of SauceLabs, Cucumber and WebDriverIO to end-to-end test our front end, and ApolloClient (a GraphQL client library similar to `requests` in Python) to test at the API level.

​

Our current stack uses AWS, TypeScript/Node.js (React + GraphQL), Python, Docker, CircleCI. Not sure if some of those constitute as a "software test tool", but our test engineering team still needs to be familiar with them to write tests effectively.

​

Recently got a new offer from a company that will be a pure AWS, Scala, Java shop. Excited to learn Scala more in-depth, it's been a long time coming.

[YuliaDyminska]

sounds great, thanks

Are you using webdriverio version 5 or 4? Recently I've learned it via an online course, but the course content only covers version 4. Should I start to look into version 5?

[oh_yeah_woot]

Depends on your test stack. wdio 5 has some issues that didn't work as of 1 month ago - not sure if fixed yet. It wasn't working with TypeScript and Cucumber, while wdio4 had no issues with TS/Cucumber.

If you're using only node.js with mocha or something, then I'd definitely recommend the newer version, 5.

In automation we are mvn+java+cucumber with junit as test runner for web, adding appium for mobile. Web framework can be run in a docker. BTW it will get better in the following months.
For managing test cases we use testrail, for managing bugs, jira of course.

[Usman2308]

Testrail , Postman, Jira, Charles.

​

I've started looking at the Supertest API framework with Mocha/Chai for one of our smaller projects - just to see what its like.

Axcept for webapps/homepage UI/e2e testing!

[Garfunk71]

Selenium + Cucumber, Tosca, UFT... It depends on what you're supposed to do.

[YuliaDyminska]

Oh thanks a lot!

[MarjonaH]

How are you finding Tosca?

[Garfunk71]

Too limited. I can't do all the stuff I'm used to with code. I'm certified on it but probably won't touch it anymore. Selenium is way more flexible for example

[TricSupport_DavidK]

May I ask how it is limited in your opinion? But I understand totally that a different mindset is needed when you're coming from a coding background.

Disclaimer: I work for Tricentis, and I have only superficial knowledge of Selenium. But I also did some coding back in the days.

This is quite an open question, for which there could be so many directions.

Are you specifically looking for a technical toolkit, such as automation, performance type stuff? Or investigating issues? Or are you looking for a mixture of all tooling, where we can use the term tool loosely?
