<span>Software testing is considered to be one of the most important processes in software development for it verifies if the system meets the user requirements and specification. Manual testing and automated testing are two ways of conducting software testing. Automated testing gives software testers the ease to automate the process of software testing thus considered more effective when time, cost and usability are concerned. There are a wide variety of automated testing tools available, either open source or commercial. This paper provides a comparative review of features of open source and commercial testing tools that may help users to select the appropriate software testing tool based on their requirements.</span>

<em>Software Testing is one of the critical activities in developing quality software. To enhance test efficiency and to improve repeatability of tests , several testing tools were developed and rolled out by proprietary commercial vendors like HP, IBM, etc., In the past decade, Proprietary software test automation tools dominated the automation market and were extensively adopted. But in recent past, Open Source test automation tools are acknowledged as reliable and are being adopted rapidly by IT companies. When companies started adopting Open source test automation tools, these tools were perceived as Competitive advantage to keep them abreast of technology developments, reduce cost, train testers, test in-house developed applications and so on. But today, we are witnessing Open Source test automation tools evolving as industry standard and have become a competitive necessity in IT Industry. This paper explores on how Open Source Test Automation tools have become a Competitive Necessity.</em>
