These tools make the testing more efficient &amp; effective and by providing elaborate, reliable, consistent results. The reusable test scripts and separate data files of these tools make them ideal for retesting &amp; regression testing of software. The organizations look for the automation testing tools that fit the iterative development procedures like agile scrum. They choose the automation testing tools with multi-platform, cross-browser, distributed environment testing capabilities with no human intervention.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/courses\/advanced-qtp-online-training-course-details\/\">UFT<\/a> (Unified Functional Testing) tool, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2kinfosys.com\/courses\/selenium-webdriver-junit-training-course\/\">Selenium<\/a>, IBM Rational Functional Tester are popularly used among the automation testing tools.<\/p>\n<p>The UFT (Unified Functional Testing) tool is a commercial automation testing tool from Micro Focus (has taken over HP). The features like broad technology support, continuous testing in integration with Jenkins, 1-click manual to automation, API &amp; web services testing, mobile first, keyword or script-based testing, collaborative testing, visual test flows, image-based object recognition, simple scripting language like VB (visual basic) makes <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/UFT\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFT<\/a> automation testing tool popular among software testers.<\/p>\n<p>Selenium available since 2004 has increasingly gained its likes in the industry. It is a free and open source. It can test web applications on various browsers and platforms. Selenium is known for its flexibility and extensibility of testing web-based applications. Selenium is composed of many software tools Selenium IDE (Integrated Development Environment) &#8211; an easy to use Firefox plugin for generating automated test scripts, Selenium 1(RC or Remote Control) &#8211; not actively supported as of now, Selenium 2(Selenium WebDriver) &#8211; a merger of Selenium &amp; WebDriver provides the features to test cohesive and object-oriented API, Selenium Grid &#8211; allows the software testers to run many tests in parallel on different remote machines. The programming languages like Java, C#, python, ruby, PHP, pearl and JavaScript are supported.
