Answer 1

Hi
See my answers below
1) Will we be able to re-use our 8.2 scripts (Functional and Load Testing) in 8.5 or 9.0, or will they require re-writing?
You can reuse the scripts as long as they don't have any VB in them, as the VB engined has been removed
2) Will we be able to continue to write our scripts in Functional Tester and play them back in the load tester (thin client) as we have been doing.
No OpenScript separates both scripts you will not even be able to see the script in the e-load interface
3) Are we forced to learn OpenScript and use OpenScript (either for 8.5 / 9.0 or in a soon upcoming release)?
Yes, e-tester support will end soon and will be replaced with OpenScript, OpenScript has been developed by the same team that did e-tester so changing from one tool to the other should not be difficult.
4) Will scripts created in OpenScript for Functional Testing, be usable in Load testing or will we need to create seperate scripts again.
No, there may be support for that in the future but not now.
