Choosing the right tool

  1. Take time to define the tool requirements in terms of technology, process, applications, people skills, and organization.
  2. During tool evaluation, prioritize which test types are the most critical to your success and judge the candidate tools on those criteria.
  3. Understand the tools and their trade-offs. You may need to use a multi-tool solution to get higher levels of test-type coverage. For example, you will need to combine the capture/play-back tool with a load-test tool to cover your performance test cases.
  4. Involve potential users in the definition of tool requirements and evaluation criteria.
  5. Build an evaluation scorecard to compare each tool's performance against a common set of criteria. Rank the criteria in terms of relative importance to the organization.
