Hello! I work as a tester, I really want to start moving towards automation. Now just a new project, we are testing a mobile backend written in C# and ASP.NET. What tools are used to automate mobile backend tests? I study java in my free time, is it possible to always write autotests in one language, regardless of the code language in which the project is written?

Answering the question "is it possible?" - can. But, as in experience, it is better to stick to the framework that the virgins use. Maybe the time will come - they will want to see your tests, well, it's clear that they will be able to read your code in java, but it will be more pleasant to be in "their own environment" =)
The tools are the same as for the web. You work with requests, be it http\s, ftp, udp, *-ql and etc. For a specific task - a specific library. We need specifics.

Usually, special tools are used to automate a product, especially UI. Selenium, IBM rational tester, etc.
Good autotests should be supported by developers. That is, the product must be written with the ability to test (coordinate the names of objects, add an API useful for testers).
