Day 9 of 30 days of ecommerce testing is:
Share your three favourite tools for testing ecommerce products on The Club
I’ve not gotten the opportunity to properly test any ecommerce sites myself so I can’t offer any tools myself. I’m hoping the community inspires me
What are you three favourite tools for testing ecommerce products?

Same here
Perhaps webdriver, appium or something like this? Both suits for ecommerce applications too.
I’m wondering if this one from SauceLabs might inspire?

I will admit, I completely forgot about logging/monitoring tools which I would guess are of huge importance in this area.
Talked about:
New Relic monitoring
BugMagnet for data input
Chrome Dev tools for responsive testing and throttling,
Mentioned a couple of others that I’m interested in but don’t know enough about.

Hi
my reference list:
Chrome Dev Tools, in particular ChroPath plugin
Any derived tool based on Selenium (e.g. Katalon plugin for Firefox)
For performance test Apache JMeter
In case that I need a Cloud testing solution I adopt Blazemeter where I can reuse both Selenium and JMeter test case.
Regards

Hi, I also have no knowledge in testing ecommerce-sites and no intensive experience in test-tools, but i think “Selenium Webdriver” for GUI and “Apache JMeter” for performance are suitable.
Also you should use a tool so that you can test what happens if thousands of customers access the shop and make an order at the same time. (I don’t know if JMeter covers this)

Yes JMeter provide facilities to simulate hundreds of customer access in concurrent manner.

I also think of the same tools that you mentioned already – Selenium for GUI, JMeter for performance, EndTest/Saucelabs for cross browser testing.

Thanks for your hints.
There ist a website listing some tools clustered by category:
https://www.testtoolreview.de/en/
Maybe it’s helpful for newbies (not only ) to get an overview of tools.

Off the top of my head I would also name:
performance tools such as JMeter
API tools, if interfacing with other systems that expose an API
accessibility tools (may be required e.g. in consumer to administration models where the government body is obliged to ensure that impaired users can also use a service)

Performance: Jmeter
API testing: Postman
Browser: Bug magnet and Chrome Dev tools (spend a lot of time on the console and network tabs )

Since I haven’t done any e-commerce testing, I can’t legitimately list any favorite tools, except perhaps to say:
Of course, Selenium, which I am just now learning
Any tool that I want to make in Python, because Python is awesome and can automate anything.
The 3 pounds of squishy matter I carry around inside my skull, which is marvelously adaptable, does processing in parallel, and is even quite scalable, but which comes with a rather high overhead and maintenance costs.

No idea of tools for ecommerce testing, since manual testing lifelong
I think lots of the tools us ‘non-ecommerce’ testers use would be just as valuable for ecommerce!

What I used:
Firebug (I think now is no longer an active tool)
Selenium IDE (for the beginners in automation as myself)
Chrome Dev tools
Photoshop (for designs received)
EditThisCookie (for deleting or changing cookies in site)
CSSViewer (provides info about the UI elements in a page)
Wasp Inspector for analytics
LinkMiner - identifier of broken links
Browserstack and real devices for mobile testing
Postman for API requests
SOAP UI
and a lot more, but it takes me a day to write them down
