    IBM Rational Functional Tester is good for automating thick applications.

    You may want to consider this solution if you are already using HP ALM and HP UFT. It's a nice add on and encourages the team to think more on building small component based tests and promote lot of reuse. Also, if your team want business analysts or any non technical people build tests based on the flows, its probably the best solution available now. On the down side, the execution times if you have too many components are not great and on top of that you have to pay extra for the licensing. You can also build such frameworks using more open source solutions like bdd solutions.

    Pros
    IBM
    • An execution log in html format provides detailed information of the actions, verifications, and screenshots with timestamps.
    • Quick response and good support. IBM releases frequent updates to handle customer needs and fix issues.
    • A solid object inspector, extensive functional library and playback monitor.

    • Biggest advantage is - you can use the same components created for manual as well as automated testing
    • It has a nice little feature called extended capabilities where you can easily automate tests SAP and oracle type architectures.
    • Easy access library lets you create highly reusable and shareable components and the integrations is not that difficult

    Cons
    IBM
    • Installation or updates were not always perfect. Would have to clean previous installations or reinstall Java if there were errors.
    • No or very limited support of browsers outside of Internet Explorer.
    • Uses a lot of memory, can have memory issues on large tests.

    • If you are using components for automation testing, the time it takes to load a new component is too high and it sucks off the benefit of component based testing.
    • You want to have many components in a test and so a BA can also create automated tests easily but too many components takes too long to executed .
    • It comes with a cost. You can simply build a modular framework even without this framework and probably more efficiently.

    Selenium is similar to IBM Rational Functional Tester but is not as user friendly and does not support thick applications. Visual Studio Coded UI is newer so not as refined; the object inspector/management and execution log results is poor compared to IBM Rational Functional Tester.

    The idea for building a component based modular test framework is great and it would be great add-on to HP tools if the add-on efficiency is made high and the cost is low.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • Speeds up and broadens the testing cycle by using machine time for regression testing.
    • Frees up time for testers to focus on critical items outside the automated suite.

    • As the tool itself promotes re usability, we were able to cut down development and maintenance costs by good %.
    • More than cost savings, out no technical folks started building automated tests based on user flows very easily.
