Perform advanced test scripting by exporting your test scripts to Borland's Silk4j, Silk4Net, jUnit, nUnit, C#, MSTest, Python or Perl. Now your tests can be run as part of your continuous delivery processes or your existing test automation suites.
Use advanced scripting to extend the synchronization, control and management of all of your scripts. Adopting a data-driven approach to testing will ensure reusability and enable users to parameterize their data and use external data sources.
Integrate with Silk Central
Integration with the Silk Central Test Management Solution delivers control and collaboration of your Silk Mobile scripts. Control, plan and execute your advance mobile test scripts through the Test Management tool to deliver complete traceability back to initial requirements.

Read the guideAway from the Silk Mobile solution, we offer rigorous mobile performance testing with Silk Performer.
Silk Performer fully supports performance testing for mobile web applications and native apps, with profiles for all popular mobile devices and application types.
Many web applications look different on a mobile device. Application performance testing of mobile versions of web pages must be treated as separate applications, even though they might share some back-end components.
Silk Performer can record and simulate a variety of mobile browsers on Android, iOS, Windows Phone and Blackberry.
For unrivalled accuracy directly record traffic from a smartphone or tablet over the air via the Silk Performer proxy.
Don’t have access to specific mobile devices? Use a device emulator to record browser-based or native applications.
Accurately simulate mobile network connections with pre-defined profiles for phone standards like GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+, and LTE.
Simulate massive traffic of mobile devices from different parts of the world and validate the impact these might have on your new or existing applications.
