Enabling Java Software Developers to use ATCG tools by demonstrating the tools that exist today, their usefulness, and effectiveness

The software industry is expanding at a rapid rate. To keep up with the fast-growing and ever-changing technologies, it has become necessary to produce high-quality software in a short time and at an affordable cost. This research aims to demonstrate to Java developers the use of Automated Test Case Generation (ATCG) tools by presenting the tools that exist today, their usefulness, and their effectiveness. The main focus is on the automated testing tools for the Java industry, which can help developers achieve their goals faster and make better software. Moreover, the discussion covers the availability, features, prerequisites, effectiveness, and limitations of the automated testing tools. Among these tools, the most widely used are Evosuite, JUnit, TestNG, and Selenium. Each tool has its advantages and purpose. Furthermore, these ATCG-tools were compared to provide a clear picture to Java developers, answer the research questions, and show strengths and limitations of each selected tool. Results show that there is no single ultimate tool that can do all kinds of testing independently. It all depends on what the developer aims to achieve. If one tool is good at generating unit test cases for Java classes, another tool is good at testing the code security through penetration testing. Therefore, the Java developers may choose a tool/s based on their requirements. This study has revealed captivating findings regarding the ATCG-tools, which ought to be explored in the future.
