What is the modern approach to web application testing?

Question

Software testing

In the web development team, which does not yet have a full-time tester, the question arose of the competent organization of the testing process (tablets are no longer a cake).
In this regard, I would like to understand the successful experience in the following issues:

1. Test management systems
   
   • To what extent do testers favor/use such tools? What do you recommend?
     
   • Interested in the experience of their use by project managers - who used which ones, which ones did they like?
     
   
   
2. To what extent should a tester be related to automated testing tools?
   
3. In what format and who writes cases for testing - a manager, a developer, a tester himself based on a common TOR?
   

I will also be grateful for intelligible articles on the topic (there are fragments on Habré, nothing modern).

Answer 1

1. BDD tools. Sorry, it's convenient. But some TDD tools are used in this role. There are projects without tests, but such projects do not last long, they quickly rot. I would call the expediency of using tests in 2-3 man-months for ordinary web projects.
2. Must have a direct relationship.
3. If story bdd, then all three. If spec is bdd, then developer and testers.
