Anyone come up with a framework for testing Blackbaud, Inc products - Enterprise CRM, Raiser's Edge, etc.???

We use a product from Blackbaud Inc. called Enterprise Constituent Management System. Over the past few years we have looked at various automation tools including some record and playback tools for UI testing. Another QA colleage is training on Selenium Webdriver.

Thanks in advance for any input/insight provided.
