Day 9 of [30 days of ecommerce testing](https://dojo.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/lessons/30-days-of-e-commerce-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? [https://saucelabs.com/blog/outfitting-a-testing-tool-belt](https://saucelabs.com/blog/outfitting-a-testing-tool-belt) I will admit, I completely forgot about logging/monitoring tools which I would guess are of huge importance in this area. ---

I can think of 1. Some performance testing tools like Jmeter etc. to monitor load at the time of sale/clearance/offers. 2. Security testing tool like Burrp suite to test for security related stuff like SQL injections etc. 3. Usability testing tools- may be something for responsive design like browserstack ---

> [@heather\_reid](#): > > you three favourite tools for testing ecommer 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.

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. ---

I would say: - GUI : Selenium + Framework, Selenium IDE, RobotFrameWork - Performance/Load/Stress testing: Locust, Jmeter, Blazemeter or Taurus - Responsiveness : Galen Framework, Appium or Saucelabs/ Crossbrowser testing as an external provider ---

Thanks for your hints. There ist a website listing some tools clustered by category: [https://www.testtoolreview.de/en/](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: 1. Of course, Selenium, which I am just now learning 2. Any tool that I want to make in Python, because [Python is awesome and can automate anything.](https://automatetheboringstuff.com/) 3. 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! My thoughts: [https://www.supertestingbros.com/blog/2018/5/14/30-days-of-e-commerce-testing-day-nine](https://www.supertestingbros.com/blog/2018/5/14/30-days-of-e-commerce-testing-day-nine) ---

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 😄 [Next page](https://club.ministryoftesting.com/t/30-days-of-ecommerce-testing-day-9-tools/13873.md?page=2)
