Evaluating Automated Functional Testing Tools
This is the first document in the "Automated Functional Testing Tools" series.

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)
Forrester evaluated automated functional testing tools to tease out the differences between offerings in this relatively mature market. Our findings? Mercury Interactive's QuickTest Professional is the most capable tool on the market today, with IBM Rational Functional Tester close behind. In the middle of the pack are Compuware and Segue Software, which are both well-established players, as well as Empirix and RadView Software, which are vendors of specialized Web testing tools. Because buying an automated testing tool is necessarily a long-term commitment, users should care not only about a tool's current capabilities, but also about where it's going. And when it comes to strategy, no one outranks IBM Rational, which has big plans for Functional Tester and is well-positioned to execute on those plans.
