Abstract :In the software testing process, automation testing is generally required for obtaining better test results and saving time and money. Automation testing is beneficial, especially when web applications are being tested according to performance, vulnerability, security, load, and stress. Today, there are many web-based automated tools with various properties, which are developed by different producers. Some of them can only be used for specific purposes and produce pretty good results, while others can be used in a broader area but produce average results. Web-based automated tools differ from each other according to various criteria such as cost, license, technical support, language support, user experience, documentation, browser support, environment support, testing type, and hardware requirements. It is often hard to determine which web-based automated tool is appropriate for a specific testing process. Since many of these tools are licensed and costly, it is sometimes impossible to make trials and decide on the proper automated tool. Some studies in the literature address this problem by examining only a few tools and only a few comparison criteria. However, the comparison of automated tools is an important issue that needs to be addressed in more detail. In this paper, for the first time in the literature, 14 web-based automated tools are compared according to 20 different criteria, and the results of this comprehensive review are presented.
