"Are IBM's New Test Tools Worth Considering?"
 

Abstract


IBM has recently released two new products. The first one which they call IBM/Rational Functional Tester is intended to replace the venerable Rational Robot. The second called IBM/Rational Manual Tester is intended to smooth the path from manual to automated testing. How do they work? What will they do for the average QA department? Is IBM serious about this market? This talk will at least provide partial answers to these questions.
