Introduction
A tool has been a tester's friend from day 1. Be it a tool to
remember the passwords or to make notes, a good tester has
always made the best use of different tools. We have tools for
many activities. A good tester not just understands the
importance of tools but also knows the limitation of each
tool.

Just like there are no best practices, there are no best tools.
There are tools suited for each activity and the same tool
might not be the appropriate one in another instance.

It is therefore very important that a tester knows at least 2-3

tools from each category.

We welcome you to enjoy our collection of tools along with an

inspiring quotation on each page.

Conclusion
It is not just the number of tools that you know, but it is very
important that you always have the urge to search for more
tools. Tools also have an expiry date and hence we suggest
that you should have atleast three tools for every category.
Know the tools, its strengths, limitations and the bugs.

A good tool applied correctly can help you save a lot of time,
and a bad tool could cost you hours of effort.

Happy Hunting!

If you have your favorite tools, let us know. All the best.
