Best test automation frameworks for enterprise projects

Looking at data on the automated testing software category page, Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright stand out as leading frameworks for large-scale enterprise projects. These tools are designed to deliver scalability, integration, and reliability across complex systems. See below for my top software list.

1. Selenium – is one of the most widely used open-source test automation frameworks for web applications. It supports multiple languages like Java, Python, and C#, runs across all major browsers, and integrates with CI/CD pipelines, making it ideal for enterprise teams with diverse tech stacks.
2. Cypress – is a JavaScript-based testing framework known for its speed and developer-friendly setup. Enterprises use Cypress for end-to-end testing, API testing, and unit testing, with real-time reloads and strong debugging features.
3. Playwright – developed by Microsoft, Playwright enables reliable end-to-end testing across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Its support for multiple programming languages and parallel execution makes it a powerful tool for enterprise-grade testing.
4. TestComplete – is a commercial framework that supports both script-based and codeless test creation. It is widely used in enterprises for automating functional and regression testing across desktop, web, and mobile applications.
5. JUnit – is a popular framework for unit testing in Java applications. Enterprises with large Java ecosystems rely on JUnit for test-driven development (TDD), regression testing, and integration with build tools like Maven and Gradle.
6. NUnit – is a framework for .NET applications, offering parallel test execution, assertions, and integrations with Visual Studio. It is a staple for enterprise teams building in the Microsoft ecosystem.
7. Tricentis Tosca – is a leading enterprise test automation platform that uses model-based testing rather than script-heavy approaches. It supports end-to-end testing across web, mobile, API, and packaged applications like SAP and Salesforce. Enterprises choose Tosca for its scalability, codeless automation, and strong integrations with CI/CD pipelines.
8. Appium – is an open-source framework for automating mobile applications across iOS and Android. It supports multiple languages and integrates with enterprise CI/CD pipelines, making it a strong choice for mobile-first organizations.
9. Ranorex Studio – is a commercial automation framework that supports desktop, web, and mobile testing. It is especially useful for enterprises that need codeless automation alongside advanced scripting options.
10. Katalon Platform – combines record-and-playback testing with advanced scripting. Enterprises adopt Katalon for functional, API, mobile, and web testing, thanks to its all-in-one cloud-based environment and enterprise integrations.

What do you think? Based on your experiences, are there other test automation frameworks that deliver better results for enterprise projects? I’d love to hear what the G2 community recommends.
