Performance Evaluation and Comparison of Sahi Pro and Selenium Webdriver

Software testing is a crucial phase in software development life cycle that reduce errors, cut maintenance and overall software costs. Manual testing takes a lot of time and effort, so automation tools are used by testers. There are number of automation testing tools available, but to choose the appropriate tool for the task requires various parameters to be considered. In this paper an evaluation on web-based software testing tools; Sahi Pro and Selenium Webdriver, based on execution time, recording and playback efficiency, browser and platform compatibility, result reporting, ease of learning and cost has been presented. It will help testers to take informed decision to choose a tool according to their requirements and resources.
