Ok maybe I don’t really know which are best or not, I’ve personally only used a couple, but if you want to know what to learn next to get into Automation Testing, this is a good starting point, and you don’t have to learn them all. Learn one and learn it well.
Based on my experience, the most common ones being Selenium, Cucumber and Test.ai from job openings I’ve seen recently and if you want to do Automation in mobile testing learn Appium.
