    Prabhakar,



    Slightly re-phrasing Jose's answer: what are the best vehicles on the market to deliver me from point A to point B? Please do not provide the full list of cars, trucks, bikes and motobikes, sport cars and special vehicles like bulldozers, excavators, etc. Please list only popular ones.



    Any automation tool is just a means that help you to do a certain job better. There is no best tool like there is no best hummer - you will need a jackhammer if you need to demolish a concrete wall but it will help you very little if you need to work with jewelry ring.



    You need to establish your requirements first (considering not only what application types you will need to test, but also the budjet, experiance of the available resources, etc.) and only after that either look for the available tools yourself or ask questions like "can this tool do this and that" on the forum(s) dedicated to the given tool you are interested in.
