    Our lovely Tester is looking into automated testing; She knows little about it, is not particularly technical (i.e. not a dev) but is keen and smart. I have literally no experience of any testing tools, so I am hoping you lovely chaps will be able to recommend some you may have used, and give me a bit of an overview of what makes 'em good (or bad!) :)

        This[^] is a fascinating tool, me think :-D

          Depending on what tech is used to develop the systems you could also look into TFS Test Manager. And if you want to automate from there you can add TFS Lab Manager. Both also hook nicely into the source control and bug/task tracking subsystems.

          My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

            Testing is often a part of the IDE an/or the operating system. So developer can also do a good job on testing.

                                Testing is for sissies. Which might unfortunately apply literaly, given the description you provided.

                                Do not escape reality : improve reality !

                                  i have years of experience in test automation (even developed a test tool for ui automation myself) and i can tell you, that test automation is essentially software development. you develop software (sometimes with the help of powerful libs) to automate other software. most of the tools provide some capture replay functionality but to be honest capture replay does not work well. its like programming spagetti code ;) what you will want is dev know-how to write scripts/tests in a programming language. i can recommend ranorex as a very versatile tool with a very nice c# api.

                                    Thanks; I figured there's got to be some level of coding - even if it is 'only' some scripting. I hadn't heard of ranorex - I just gave the web page a quick squiz and it does look interesting... I may have to give our tester some programming lessons !

                                      well i think if you want to be productive in test automation you will quickly see recurring patterns emerge that you will want to encapsulate to increase productivity. well thats where programmings starts :) you will want to look into concepts like PageObjects to reduce the impacts changes have.

                                        Our lovely Tester is looking into automated testing; She knows little about it, is not particularly technical (i.e. not a dev) but is keen and smart. I have literally no experience of any testing tools, so I am hoping you lovely chaps will be able to recommend some you may have used, and give me a bit of an overview of what makes 'em good (or bad!) :)

                                        Testing? By a personage not involved in the coding? People do that? Ah, go on. You're having a giraffe. :laugh: Next you'll be telling me that level designers for Candy Crush actually play the game!
