Automated testing is the future of software testing. The introduction of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment have added a lot of importance to automated testing since both aim to minimize the time to market of the product and its features. Manual testing has not yet vanished completely, but it is going to. With various tools popping up every day, it’s easy now to test and deliver your software with speed.

The question is when to choose the automated testing.

According to John Overbaugh, a senior SDET lead at Microsoft, 'It only makes sense to use automated testing tools when the costs of acquiring the tool and building and maintaining the tests are less than the efficiency gained from the effort.'

Additionally, you can use automated testing when you are embracing DevOps in your organization, if you have frequent regression testing iterations, if you have a microservices architecture, and if you're working on an exceptionally large project.

That all being said, there are lots of automated testing tools to choose from. Here are seven that you should keep an eye on in 2017.
