Hi all,

I am new here and I want to ask you for your opinions about software testing tools.
My goal is to choose one of them and install it in my company, unfortunatelly I know only Rational products. If you are so kind and make for me short list of avaluable products (most popular) and your opinion about them - or maybe there is some list like that avaluable? If so, please send me a link.

I know that my request could be funny for some of you, but asking you seems to be the best solution - I don't know where exactly I should search (internet searching isn't the most helpful).

Thanks for all answers,
Pawel.

If Rational works for you why not use them. Also look in the download section under whitepapers there is a tools evaluation there

Check out these sites too:
www.stickyminds.com
www.qacity.com


Or pick up a copy of Automated Software Testing, by Elfriede Dustin, et al. She's written quite a bit in there about how to select a tool.

Hi Pawel,

The above are great leads. Also try to get a copy of the book Automated Software Testing. There is an appendix (B) for "Tools That Support the Automated Testing Life Cycle". It could give you a starting point because it breaks down the activities and lists a variety of tools that are available.

And you're right - the internet is sometimes not the friendliest place to start a search if you don't already have some good URL's

Hi!
Many type of testing tools are available in the market. Compuware, Mercury Interactive & Seague are more competitive players in the test automation other than Rational.

Why are you want change...? Any reason for that..

We have only some licences of Rational. My company have many offices and each of them have different software solution. My goal is to choose the most suitable solution for entire company, so I want to compare few systems. That's why, I asked you for help.

thx all who answered my question - I have already seen some products :-)
and I know much more than 2 weeks ago.

Pawel.
