Software testing is one of the most important phases in software development lifecycle (SDLC). Software testing is the process of evaluating the software product with the intent to find whether it satisfies the user requirements or not. It involves identifying bug, error, or defect in a software product without correcting it. There are various automated tools, which help as to test the software products with accuracy. This paper analyses some of the test management, functional and load testing tools.

Software testing is the process of verifying and validating the user’s requirements. Testing is ongoing process during whole software development. Software testing is characterized into three main types. That is, in Black box testing, user doesn’t know domestic knowledge, internal logics and design of system. In white box testing, Tester knows the domestic logic of code. In Grey box testing, Tester has little bit knowledge about the internal structure and working of the system. It is commonly used in case of Integration testing.Load testing helps us to analyze the performance of the system under heavy load or under Zero load. This is achieved with the help of a Load Testing Tool. The intention for writing this research is to carry out a comparison of four load testing tools i.e. Apache JMeter, LoadRunner, Microsoft Visual Studio (TFS), Siege based on certain criteria  i.e. test scripts generation , result reports, application support, plug-in supports, and cost . The main focus is to study these load testing tools and identify which tool is better and more efficient . We assume this comparison can help in selecting the most appropriate tool and motivates the use of open source load testing tools.

Recent years have brought the rise of importance of quality of developed software. Web applications should be functional, user friendly as also efficient. There are many tools available on the market for testing the performance of web applications. To help you choose the right tool, the article compares three of them: Apache JMeter, LoadNinja and Gatling. They were analyzed in terms of a user-friendly interface, parameterization of the requests and creation of own testing scripts. The research was carried out using a specially prepared application. The summary indicates the most important advantages and disadvantages of the selected tools.
