perl interface to testdirector??

ramjr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My company is considering purchasing a test management and integration tool from Mercury Interactive called TestDirector. The documentation online (such as there is: very little) for this product states that there is an 'open API' that allows third party products to work with it. Unfortunately, you don't get the API specs unless you purchase the product ;-(

Has anyone had experience with this product, built scripts to talk with it or otherwise have any input that would help in analysing whether it's of any value for us, particularly regarding interfacing with perl?

Thanks.

Worst case is that you'd have to build your own Perl interface using XS or Inline::C. I have a hard time believing they wouldn't provide a C interface. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply]

Ask the company. I see people time and time again asking third parties for information they should get straight from the horses mouth. I am confident if you ask the company they will provide you with all the information you need.	[reply]
