⟩ Do you consider testing tools to be valuable during the testing process – why/why not?
Testing tools are very important to assist the tester in their work. Using tools can also potentially make the tester more efficient in their work – they are able to run more tests (using regression testing for example). Or they can quickly compare 3 reports (comparison tool).
The tools in themselves however do not make good testers and also should not be considered if the test process is in ‘chaos’.
