Análise de ferramentas usadas no processo de automação de testes a fim de explicitar cenários para melhor utilização

Abstract

Software and computational applications are becoming increasingly prevalent in daily life, being applied in various fields such as healthcare and industry. However, at the end of the development of these products, it is possible that flaws may arise and hinder customer usability. To proactively identify these defects, tests are conducted to highlight critical points. These checks can be performed manually or in an automated manner, using code and tools to carry out actions and validate results. In the context of test automation, the appropriate choice of tools is crucial to make the process efficient and less complex. This work aims to analyze relevant elements to indicate contexts and the most suitable tool. By studying Java with the Selenium framework, Python with the Robot framework, and JavaScript with Cypress, it was possible to identify ideal situations for the use of each tool. Particularly, considering technical knowledge, Robot may be suitable for initial levels, Cypress for the intermediate point, and Selenium from the previous level/advanced.
