G2 Grid® Scoring

Software Testing Tools Definition

Software testing software gives development teams the methods and tools to determine the quality of their software creation and improvement projects. Development teams use software testing tools to assess whether software is usable, performs properly, meets development team goals, and meets overall requirements. Software testing tools also include other test management solutions like bug tracking software and project management software. Some solutions include features that support collaboration between software testers and developers. To monitor testing activities and analyze results, most solutions offer reporting and dashboards, with pre-defined metrics and KPIs.

Integration with other testing tools or with software development solutions is also provided. Such integration is important for other activities that are part of the development lifecycle such as build automation software, continuous delivery software, and continuous deployment software.

To qualify for inclusion in the Software Testing category, a product must:

• Include options for different testing methodologies such as waterfall or agile
• Provide iterative testing processes to find new or related issues when a problem is fixed
• Allow for different types of testing such as functional, performance, scalability, and usability
• Deliver reporting and metrics on tests, which can be used to evaluate the quality of the solution
• Integrate with third-party software development solutions and platforms
