Mobile application automation tool

If you are looking for an automation tool for your mobile application you should definitely check out SeeTest. It supports Android, iOS, Blackberry and Windows operating system.
It is a bit pricey ($2500 per user per OS), but in my opinion it is one of the best automation tools that are available on the market at the moment.
I personally like the ability to run your scripts from QTP and TestComplete.
It uses real device and not a simulator.

Unable to configure JDBC data source in SoapUI

I am using SoapUI tool to do accomplish some of our web services testing. As one of my goals, I wanted to  compare value(s) a given service returns with the actual data in MSSQL 2005 via SoapUI.
Came across an issue, where I wasn't able to connect to SQL (we use name instances and windows authentication).
After several hours of research came accross a solution. Sharing it with you, hopefully it will save you time!

From SmartBear forum (don't have the URL).

1) Download the latest driver from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... n&id=21599

2) Unpack, copy 'sqljdbc.jar' or 'sqljdbc4.jar' (copying both resulted in a could not connect exception) to /bin/ext
Then, copy 'sqljdbc_auth.dll' to /bin

Use following connection string if using named instances:
jdbc:sqlserver://;instanceName=;databaseName=;integratedSecurity=true;

Use following connection string if using server port:
jdbc:sqlserver://:;databaseName=;integratedSecurity=true;
