Can anyone please tell me the exact difference b/w Rational Functional Tester and Rational Robot.

IBM Rational Functional Tester:

* Support for testing of Java, Web and Visual Studio .NET WinForm-based applications.
* Choice of language - Java or Visual Basic .NET - for test script customization
* Native Java and Visual Basic .NET editor and debugger for advanced testers
* ScriptAssure technology to accommodate frequent UI modifications
* Automated data correlation and data-driven testing eliminates need for manual coding
* Multiple verification points with regular expression pattern matching support
* Advanced object map maintenance capabilities
* Linux test editing and test execution support
* Built-in test management solution, which enables test planning, execution and analysis of Rational Functional Tester –based test scripts


IBM Rational Robot:

* Simplifies configuration testing - Rational Robot can be used to distribute functional testing among many machines, each one configured differently.
* Tests many types of applications - Including HTML and DHTML, Java™, VS.NET, Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++, Oracle Developer/2000, PeopleSoft, Sybase PowerBuilder and Borland Delphi. For advanced testing of Java.
* Ensures testing depth - Tests beyond an application's UI to the hundreds of properties of an application's component objects - such as ActiveX Controls, OCXs, Java applets and many more - with just the click of a mouse.
* Tests custom controls and objects.
* Provides an integrated programming environment
* Helps you analyze problems quickly - Rational Robot automatically logs test results into the integrated Rational Repository, and color codes them for quick visual analysis.
