    IBM Rational Functional Tester is good for automating thick applications.

    Spirent solution is well suited to qualify a Lan infrastructure bandwidth capacity or a device itself capacity such as a router or a firewall for example. But this solution in our case is also well suited to test a complex and numbered mpls environment. I would not recommend it to a small business as the solution is very expensive: châssis and card cost are expensive and the solution requires to be an advanced user in system, not only on network devices

    • No or very limited support of browsers outside of Internet Explorer.
    • Uses a lot of memory, can have memory issues on large tests.

    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.

    I wasn't able to specifically test other big products but I did use other free products in the past such as iperf, but free softwares don't allow the same level of support ans ease to use than Spirent

    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.

    • Allows to qualify a link or a project to validate end of this one
    • Allowed to detect various configuration issues that were fixed right after
    • Allow to use virtual machines for easy remote deploykents
    • Neharive: upgrade can depreciate products and newer products have sometimes better bandwidth capacity but less features
