In this chapter, we looked at and understood some of the chief tools used for quality engineering on a daily basis. We started with the CLI and looked at some of the commonly used commands. Then, we explored what Git is and familiarized ourselves with basic Git commands to initialize and make changes to a code repository. We continued to review common test automation frameworks and their high-level architecture. We gained a solid understanding of the purpose of each of these tools/frameworks. In the concluding section, we reviewed the tool selection criteria for various kinds of testing and some common factors that influence testing tool selection.

Based on the contents of what we have seen in this chapter, you should be able to comfortably work on the CLI and should also feel ready to contribute via Git. You also gained a thorough understanding of the commonly used test automation frameworks and the analysis that goes before adopting one. In the next chapter, we will dive...
