Populating systems under test with data is often done by cleaning and inserting data directly into databases using SQL scripts. Whilst this technique is simple, it can have several drawbacks for automated tests.
Venus.js in an open source software testing tool developed by LinkedIn that allows you to organize and run your entire JS testing system with a single tool using Node.js. Venus eliminates repetitive tasks and friction points and lets you focus on writing tests instead of running them.
eBay’s European quality engineering team has broad experience implementing end-to-end test automation in different software development environments (agile, waterfall, co located , outsourced, distributed).

Automating tests is an investment that is valuable as long as the investment is not too great. As such investing in automated testing tools can be great or bad depending on if your company really needs to automate. We want to get to the payback more quickly. The true investment is not only the cost of creating and maintaining automated tests. Watir is a family of libraries for testing web applications. Watir reduces the cost of creating automated tests that are maintainable. If we spend too much time fixing and debugging, we will never get the new features created, or we will abandon the automated tests temporarily.
