It is impossible to do the whole testing procedure automatically,
which was my point initially. My apologies if I didn't stress that
enough. I didn't mean to say they didn't used it *at all*.

Though, to make you happy, here's 3:

Oracle, Microsoft, CA.

All of these employ QA engineers who are just monkeys who manually go
through scripts to test GUI, or write the context
information/description, or do the failure testing.

None of which can be automated properly.

My apologies for the arrogant and unnecessary remark in my previous email.
