SilkTest

Meet time-to-market & quality goals of enterprise applications

SilkTest is the industry-leading automated tool for testing the functionality of enterprise applications in any environment. It lets you thoroughly verify application reliability within the confines of today's short testing cycles by leveraging the accuracy, consistency and time-saving benefits of Borland's automated testing technology. Designed for ease of use, SilkTest includes a host of productivity-boosting features that let both novice and expert users create functional tests quickly, execute them automatically and analyze results accurately. With less time spent testing, your QA staff can expand test coverage and optimize application quality. In addition to validating the full functionality of an application prior to its initial release, users can easily evaluate the impact of new enhancements on existing functionality by simply reusing existing test cases.

Benefits:

• Accelerate time-to-market by automating the functional testing process
• Maximize application reliability by increasing test coverage and consistency
• Improve productivity with workflow bars and wizards for creating and customizing tests quickly and easily
• Avoid costly redevelopment by finding and fixing bugs early
• Minimize the risk of undetected errors by running tests unattended 24x7x365
• Shorten the testing cycle by distributing tests over multiple computers
• Optimize application quality through accurate results analysis

SilkPerformer

Test the limits of your enterprise applications

SilkPerformer^® is the industry's most powerful - yet easiest to use - automated load and performance testing solution for optimizing the performance, scalability and reliability of mission-critical enterprise applications. With SilkPerformer, you can accurately predict the "breaking points" in your application and its underlying infrastructure before it is deployed, regardless of its size or complexity. SilkPerformer has the power to simulate thousands of simultaneous users working with multiple computing environments and interacting with various application environments such as Web, client/server, Citrix^® MetaFrame^®, or ERP/CRM systems - all with a single script and one or more test machines. Yet its visual approach to scripting and root-cause analysis makes it amazingly simple and efficient to use. So you can create realistic load tests easily, find and fix bottlenecks quickly, and deliver high-performance applications faster than ever.

Benefits

• Increase application deployment success:
  • Performance, scalability and reliability metrics that meet business goals
  • Acceptable service-level thresholds
• Shorten project cycle times and reduce project costs while improving quality:
  • Reduce defect and bottleneck repair costs
  • Efficient use of available QA resources (staff and equipment)
• Eliminate over-investment in IT infrastructure:
  • Adequately sized server systems
  • Optimal application performance and scalability
