How will you choose a tool for test automation?
Depends on type of testing. suppose if you want to functional testing then you will use the WinRunner and if you want to management tool you are using the Test Director , if you want to server performance then you should use the LoadRunner.
Depending on the environment, Budget, Time and the type of Testing a suitable tool can be selected.
Choosing a right tool for test automation is like choosing the right kinda girl for marriage. I admit I have not found the later, but incase of former - there are many criterias.
First, is the budget.Second is customability, u sure would want to go for a tool that is easy to adopt, and customize. Test automation is not just record and playback, 70% of automation involves in customizations and writing scripts. And, a tool can also be project specific.
Functional, regression etc testing can be manual till date, but imagine in performance testing……100 testers sitting on 100 workstations and ready to press “return” key…whenever someone shouts “go” is impossible. So as far as I think, performance testing should be automated, say with a LoadRunner. Also, everything is project specific. Not to mention much. But if u guys have any queries, u can contact me on prithvideb@yahoo.co.in
How will you choose a tool for test automation?
Choosing a tool for test automation, is really a challenging problem.
It depends on the type of testing to be carried out,
e.g. For Functional and Regression Testing, we should you tools such as WinRunner, Quick Test Professional, SilkTest, Rational Robot.
For Performance Testing, We should use, LoadRunner, Rational Robot - VUScript
For Maintenance of Test Cases - We should use Test Director, Test Manager etc.
What is the main purpose of Test Director other than bug reporting?
How will you choose a tool for test automation?
1)Will check whether the tool is recognizing objects on the GUI.
2)Compability of tool with application under test.
3)how much time and effort i/team have to take for laerning the tool.
What is the main purpose of Test Director other than bug reporting?

In regards to my question # 10.
I mean to say what is the different features of WinRunner, Loadrunner and Test Director - ofcourse these are products of Neptune Mercury.
To be specific : Can anyone define the usage of the above three - I assume each one has different special features…
Thank you

Regarding question #10/11
The main difference between Winrunner, Loadrunner and Test Director is
1. a)Winrunner is a Functional testing tool,
b)Loadrunner is Performance tool and
c)Test director is Management tool.
a) Winrunner: 1.you can record the script automatically or manually you can write scripts.
2.This is mainly use for Regression testing.
b) Loadrunner: 1. This tool is mainly used for Performance testing.
2. we can also use this tool for Load testing and Stress Testing
c) Test director: 1. This is a Management tool.
Test director tool contains: 1. Test Plan
2. Test Cases
3. Time estimation
4. Shedule documents
5. Bug Lists
I think this is sufficient for the question #10/#11

Selecting a effective automation tool is a tough job than automating application. So take your time and take a wise decision. Before buying a license of any automation tool
1. Check your requirement
2. Budgeting
3. If possible, then take a evaluation version of tool before finalization of the same and check the feasibility whether this is the effective tool for your application and then make a decision accordingly. There are lot many other things which we can discuss but again what is the requirement. . . .
1. What are the basic things to start Load Test / Per.Test / Stress Test.
2. What are the things we need to Focus / Report
