Hi All,
When we test any script or module in particular
environment for functional and regression testing then we
use these automation tools. for example in regression
testing if we found any bug and reported to developer for
fixing it. after fixing it we have to see that this fixed
bug doesn't affect any other function or module..... for
that we don hv much time to check whole application, so for
saving our time due to repeatable testing we need automation
tools. and these tools also create Vusers(virtual users)
like 1000 and more...

Answer / padmas
The best way to choose automation tool is,
Going through the feature list of both automation tool and
application under test.
Then evaluating the tool over the testing process over the
manual testing effort.
Manual test effort reports vs cost.and scope of the testing
vs human resources effort.Schedule vs.Complexity involved in
training the automation tool.etc.will help in choosing the
appropriate automation tool .

We use automation only for version wised projects, means if
the project comes up with different versions. Once we write
the scripts for one version, we can use these scripts with
mulitple versions with minor chages.
So the main advantage of automation is:
1. Saves the time.
2. Saves money.

Answer / raghu
Say for example we have an application where the versions
may be changing...In this case we can have a script that
can be reused and repeatble inorder to test the application.
We can reduce the time,cost efectiveness...
