Software Testing
Smoother software testing from Borland Silk
The Borland Silk Family of software testing tools addresses every challenge across the testing segment of the software delivery lifecycle. Built for every user in the software development ecosystem, Borland Silk ensures that products get to market faster and deliver higher quality.
Consumers of commercial software now expect sub-second response times, applications working flawlessly out of the box, and new products every three months. And looking at these demands within the context of the expanding number of platforms, browsers, mobile devices and operating systems, it’s easy to see why software testing teams are under such pressure. And why it is tempting to compromise on the testing process.
Most software testing tools are too complicated, incomplete, or restrict software tests and validation to late in the delivery cycle – with consequences for the SDLC and the development budget. The development and quality assurance teams can be forced to make difficult choices regarding quality and planned release dates. Borland recognize that building quality into a release earlier in the process saves problems further down the line.
The Silk Family of software testing is different. Designed for use early and often, throughout the software development organization, the Silk Family allows collaborative working that unites managers, business analysts, QA engineers, and developers to solve functional and performance challenges. Software testing requires cross-browser and cross-platform testing, both manually and through automation. The Silk Family delivers test automation, test management and performance testing across the SDLC for mobile, on-premise, cloud, enterprise applications and SAP. Whatever their methodology, the Silk Family provides organizations with a ’one stop shop‘ for all their software testing needs.
