This chapter offers a comparison of five formal quality evaluation tools and shows in what ways such tools can be integrated into the translation workflow. The functional features of the tools are compared, their user-friendliness, their efficiency and their cost. Examples are given that illustrate in what ways the choice of QA tool for a specific translation project is determined by the project settings.
