We are about to get a canned package in that has been modified to our needs. I'm part of the team setup to prepare tests for it. It has an Oracle back end and I believe it's written in C++ .NET.
My question is what free or open source testing tools would you recommend.
Thanks

For regression testing of our applications I use a free tool called AutoHotKey http://www.autohotkey.com/. It is simple, batch configurable, and can work for virtually any application you have. Not exactly designed for black box testing, but a good free tool to add to your toolbox.
While there are a few good commercial applications for black box testing of applications (HoloDeck http://www.sisecure.com/holodeck/index.shtml, Cenzic Hailstorm http://www.cenzic.com/), the only open source applications that I know about only test network security (Spike http://www.immunitysec.com/resources-freesoftware.shtml, OWASP WebScarab http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebScarab_Project, and Nikto http://www.cirt.net/nikto2)
