Automated Testing tools?

[AlanMacNeill]

Hi all,

So I've been tasked with presenting some options to improve our automation of our Cognos Object testing (and by "improve" I mean "Create something which doesn't involve touching every single object by hand when they want to verify outside changes didn't break a Cognos object")

I'm aware of Motio, but I need to present multiple options and the typical Cost/Advantage/Disadvantage of each...you probably know the drill.  I've searched for other tools, but all I'm finding is generic "Yep, this is a testing tool", without any discussion of use with/against Cognos objects.

I don't need the presentation written (although if there's a white paper out there I have not found, that would be lovely), but I do need some links to competing products in the automated Cognos object testing space, both for functional testing and performance testing.

Our client uses LoadRunner for testing of other things, but apparently years ago there were issues using Load Runner against Cognos...does anyone know if that's been dealt with now that cognos uses a more standard approach for it's presentation?

Any leads or links are welcome.

Thank you.
