Seeking testing software (like QTP, Selenium) for ArcGIS platform (Desktop and Web)?

I think that the question is not complete at all. I mean, testing what with what purpose? When you want to benchmark the performance of a tool, you have to specify a concrete task to do. This output is usually compared with the performance for the same task but with another tool, i. e. ArcGIS Desktop vs QGIS or gvSIG.

A particular use case for testing could be running a terrain model for a particular region, reprojecting all points of a huge shapefile or doing some 3D rendering with flythroughs. Usually you count the time that it takes to do each task and then decide which tool is better.

So the thing is, choosing a task to do and see the performance, if not, you have to go to a general testing. Considering you do not want to do a general sw testing, what do you expect from ArcGIS for Desktop?

This presentation has a list of tools on page 14, though it doesn't go into how they are used and for what purpose:

• Test Design
  • AETG
  • PICT
• Automation tools
  • Python
  • SilkTest
  • JUnit
  • XTest
  • C#
  • Selenium
  • Visual Studio Team Test

For ArcObjects unit testing, see this question, as well as this article for some suggestions.

Regarding ArcGIS Server performance/load testing, this presentation suggests an additional set of tools, and offers up some pros/cons for each:

• LoadRunner
• Silk Performer
• Visual Studio Team Test
• JMeter

Selenium is a great open source framework to do test automation but it suffers from problems due to flaky tests, not being updated on a regular basis (since it is open source) and the need for technical resources to write automation code.

Below are good alternatives to Selenium and are currently popular-
