The Forrester Wave™: Functional Testing Solutions, Q3 2008
HP Leads, While IBM, Borland, And Compuware Offer Competitive Alternatives
by Carey Schwaber, Mike Gualtieri
with Mike Gilpin, David D'Silva
Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)
Forrester conducted an evaluation of six functional testing solutions vendors across 96 criteria. Our findings? HP's leadership of the functional testing market continues unabated since its 2006 acquisition of Mercury Interactive. IBM has expanded its solution's support for packaged applications, and its road map for the future looks promising indeed. Borland Software and Compuware have doubled down on serving their target users: more and less technical testers, respectively. Empirix and Seapine Software offer less-costly but also less-capable solutions, with notably limited support for applications and technologies. Overall, the strength of functional testing solutions continues to improve not just to keep up with changing technologies but also to better deliver improved support for activities like manual testing, test management, and test automation.
