Explain Integration Testing Tools in brief | Software Testing Tool

In this article, you will get to know about the various Integration testing tools along with their features. 

Integration testing tools are used in testing the module interface. The bugs that might occur due to multiple module integration. The main purpose of this tool is to make sure that each module is working properly as per the client's requirements. 

The tools used in Integration testing are:

Citrus: It is the most popular integration testing tool. It is a test framework written in the JAVA programming language. It takes the request and response from both the client and server-side. It authenticates the XML, and JSON files. It uses various protocols like HTTP, SOAP, and JMS to pull off the end-to-end use case testing. 

Features of Citrus:

• It is a low-cost solution because it is open source and licensed. 
• It receives and sends messages as well.
• The database can be easily validated.
• It generates responses and validates responses. 
• Advanced logic is used in test cases. 

FitNesse: It is an open-source tool. It does not need any separate installation, just download the Jar file and directly use it. It is written in the Java programming language along with other different languages such as C++, C#, Ruby, and so on. 

Features of FitNesse:

• It verifies the actual need of the software application for any software project.
• It runs the test to verify the real output to the expected output. 
• Wiki web server can easily be used through this tool. 
• It supports the other types of testing such as black-box testing, regression testing, and acceptance testing. 

Tessy: It is a very important tool for the integration testing and unit testing of the embedded system. It takes deep care for the complete testing levels with all the requirements, test management, and coverage management. It helps in finding the code coverage of an application. 

Features of Tessy:

• It has floating license applications rights. 
• It has three primary features such as TIE(Test Interface Editor), TDE(Test Data Editor), and workspace. 
• It verifies the interface of the function and defines the variables used by those functions. 
• It supports C++ and C programming languages.

Protractor: It is an open-source end-to-end testing framework. It is specifically designed for AngularJS and Angular applications. It wrote in JavaScript. The NodeJS program is used to find the web elements in the AngularJS application. Once the application runs in the real browser, then it tests the test cases. 

Features of Protractor:

• It executes the instances of the applications. 
• It performs the test very well from the end-users perspective.
• It helps in writing the end-to-end test cases. 
• It tests dynamic web applications.

Rational Integration Tester: Earlier we were called a ‘Green Hat’, but after it was acquired by IBM its name was changed to Rational Integration Tester. It provides a scripting-free environment for developing process integration projects and tests SOA messaging as well.

Features of Rational Integration Tester: 

• It permits the tester to perform functional, regression, and integration testing.
• It uses constant integration in the software development life cycle.
• It tests the build from the requirements.
