COMRAHENSIVE SOFTWARE TESTING TOOLS

I started searching for Most sophisticated Software testing tools and to my surprise there are virtually unlimited number of tools available. After digging down further i found that there are merely 500+ good tools available for various level of testing. I am sure, that there are tools much more than these now occurred. Because the amount of the tools was so large, I had to restrict them and to take up only the most interesting once.

Being a tester and knowing what other tester wants, i have taken tools based on following criteria.

Design, GUI (Graphical User Interface), Functionality, Load and Performance, Management, Implementation, Evaluation, Static Analysis and outside of inspection: Bug/Defect Tracking, Web Sites and Miscellaneous.

Let me try to explain you what the heck all these groups: Well Let me put it short and simple.

Test Design Tools:
Tools that help you decide what tests need to be executed. Test data and test case
generators.

GUI Test Drivers:
Tools that automate execution of tests for products with graphical user interfaces.
Client/server test automation tools, including load testers, also go here.

Load and Performance Tools:
Tools that specialize in putting a heavy load on systems (especially client-server
systems). These tools are often also GUI test drivers.

Test Management Tools:
Tools that automate execution of tests for products without graphical user interfaces.
Also tools that help you work with large test suites.

Test Implementation Tools:
Miscellaneous tools that help you implement tests. For example, tools that
automatically generate stub routines go here, as do tools that attempt to make failures
more obvious (assertion generators, etc.)

Test Evaluation Tools:
Tools that help you evaluate the quality of your tests. Code coverage tools go here.

Static Analysis Tools:
Tools that analyse programs without running them. Metrics tools fall in this category.
