IBM Rational Functional Tester is good for automating thick applications.

If you are making system upgrade project and you have existing system working and you want to imitate messages that are going in production but without making any data loads or switch it’s very suitable and convenient software. It serves well in manual test scenarios but wouldn’t be as good in case of mass tests.

  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • I actually like SoapUI as it is, I have not found things to improve, except for the speed of response is very complex services.

Alternatives Considered
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.

SoapUI Open Source is free, which is good for light use or simple things here and there. There is a Pro version that makes things more user-friendly. I also like that custom code can also be used for doing more complicated tasks. I like that SoapUI can have a process/flow (conditional/loop/waits/etc.) set up for scripting purposes, which is good for beginners and light users. However, I think the user interface has room for improvement.
