Test Automation

Can anyone please let me know how to automate the manual testing process?
what are the open source tools used to test email secuirty etc., and also what are the open source
tools that can be used for bug tracking? And I appreciate if any one could provide me the open source
tools used for load testing, performance testing and stress testing.

There are lots of tools for automating the manual testing process.

Again it depends on the application that you are using and the language you are expertise with.

If you consider Perl,

You can automate the stand alone applns using Win32::GUITest module

For web applications, you can use Win32::IEAutomation module.

If you want to use Similar to Silk test or QTP or Winrunner, there are lots of automation tools that you can get in sourceforge.net, but those open source tools will be with some limitations.
