Abstract: Software testing is essential and most important for any application to work correctly under customer requirements. Proper testing techniques must be adopted to suit the application and so as to enhance the performance and ease the maintain ability. In this paper, we present agile methodology of testing which is the most popular now since it takes into consideration the changing customer needs. A comparison of agile testing with V model is also presented. Automation testing using the Open source tool Selenium is compared with manual testing techniques which were used earlier. Test Automation today is developing as a separate discipline and organizations are now thinking towards automating application, to have a better cost benefit in the long run. But there are many challenges which an organization has to face when they want to automate their application.
