Hi, QTP certainly does work as required but licensing costs are a major issue therefore I am trying to address the significant licensing costs associated with QTP by scoping out the benefits of Open Source tools.
I understand that Watir is designed for driving Web Browsers but I had hoped that there would be an "add-in" a la the QTP add in to drive the green screens which are effectively the same in many respects as imputing data via a browser window. There are two other issues involved 1. We have a large number of Winrunner Scripts that will need to move to a new platform we have looked at WinQuick which is not 100% and this again makes me seek another alternative. 2. We also test a variety of browser based software this is currently done via QTP therefore strategically any move I would contemplate would demand that so far as is possible all testing should be on a single platform with a single scripting language. Id be grateful to hear if others are in a similar situation and how this is being approached.
