Good Things about RFT:

  1. Flexibility in terms of full access to object properties, controlling those properties in a very meticulous way which gives the ability to override unwanted recognition errors and increase application's immunity to changes in your AUT that should not be considered as fails. RFT is doing great here
  2. Since it works under eclipse, you have virtually unlimited ability to integrate useful java classes that recording and playback cannot do. Such as database accessibility, necessary looping and switching and even adding a nice sleeky UI.


Concerns about RFT:

  1. Unexpected crashes of the framework. This happened three times in less than 8 months. It happens in response to an eclipse update.
  2. Eclipse version effect on new scripts: New Scripts may not run until eclipse is update.
  3. Competition with other products such as QTP and open source tools such as Selenium and Selenium grid, which i am starting to like more and more.
  4. Flash and Flex plug-ins. Flash and flex support is available only in version 7 and above. My version is 6.1. Why isn't there a plug-in to support this?!
