in august 2005 Methods & Tools made a poll. Question asked was: Do you use tools to automate execution of functional software tests?
Participants: 147
result: 38% My organisation has no tool for functional software tests 36% I use tools for functional tests 26% My organisation has tools, but my project or I do not use them
In these results, you can see either a half-full or a half-empty glass. A majority of organisations have functional test tools, but a majority of the respondents do not use them. There are many good reasons for this, like the fact that these tools could be restricted to a specific environment within the organisation and that the respondents are developing software in a different context. In my experience, the problem is also often that managers had the budget to buy the tools, but did not take into consideration the budget and time needed to train people to the new tools and use them in real projects.
