When do you use Software QA Testing testing tools?

It's appropriate to use testing tools when:

* You need to test execution-based program response time and regression testing

* You need to accurately measure performance and workload

* You need to rerun a test four times or more

* You expect to use the tools on four or more projects

* You want to capture application knowledge for reuse after the application authors have left


When do you AVOID QA testing tools?

Testing Tools can actually hinder successful testing if they are used in certain engagements, such as:

* Manual only processes
* One-time tests
* Short project deadline
* Limited project budget
* No testing tool available
