As the scale of software projects increase, the time allocated to development of software increases that testing of software quality is becoming important depending of this situation. Software test teams take some responsibilities to reduce time of project development and make particular planning to shorten completion of project as well as the time of maintenance. At this point of view, various automated test tools are widely used to reduce project effort and time. The most common area of using automated test is web based software. Thanks to automated tests, errors can be detected which available in web based software and all transactions are saved. Owing to running of these test tools on the basis of object oriented languages and provided libraries that enable to user controlling these tools are considered as the reason of selection. This study presents a framework that provide controlling of test tools and analyzing test data statistically. The innovation of statistical analysis which performed on software test area has been depicted.
