There are two types of Functional Tester processes.
The application under Test (AUT) processes are known as Functional Tester server
side processes. The recorder, playback, objects inspector, and the IDE (Eclipse
or Visual Studio .Net) processes are known as Functional Tester client
side processes. A shared memory inter process communication (IPC) layer complements
the high-level components of the Functional Tester process
model.
