Well there a lot of things on the market. For our company, we use junit within eclipse and a lot of custom jython code for unit testing.

For more functional testing we use the Mercury suite.

I should point out that we do a lot of SOA and BPM type of work. Different types of products may need different tools.

I got a new project which requires software testing, and I dont really have the time or resources to recruit a temp just for that, so I am thinking of learning and doing it myself.

I ve ordered the book, lets see how it goes :up:

Mace, are you into software testing?

Not personally, but we have a group at work that does that.

Well, I should say I do add junit cases for anything I contribute myself. Of course my developers rewrite anything I send them anyway. :)

But functional testing is done by a certain group with certain protocols.
