Borland organizes test results in Silk 2009

By Jeff Feinman

July 20, 2009 — Borland Software has updated its Silk quality assurance suite with new test recording and result provisioning capabilities.

Silk 2009, released today, is geared toward agile and traditional software development teams. Silk tries to make it easier to write and automate test results and test performance with each iteration, Borland executives said.

SilkTest licenses start at US$4,000, while SilkPerformer starts at $10,000 and SilkCentral Test Manager licenses begin at $1,700.

SilkTest, the suite’s functional and regression tester, now lets developers write tests in Java using an IDE. There is also a new feature that records test transactions and generates test scripts.

“What you’re doing is running through your environment, typically in a browser, and in the background what our recorder is doing is it’s creating the test script in native Java, which means it’s highly maintainable by other people who have Java skills,” said David Wilby, Borland’s senior vice president of products.

The SilkPerformer performance and load tester has improvements for provisioning testing environments for agile teams. SilkPerformer also can now repurpose unit and functional tests as performance tests, and there are Eclipse and Visual Studio plugins for creating performance tests within a developer’s IDE.

The third main piece of Silk, SilkCentral Test Manager, allows developers to combine results from unit, functional, performance and manual tests. SilkCentral Test Manager brings integration with the VersionOne agile software project manager, as SilkCentral Test Manager coordinates tests and agile user stories.

“As someone is creating a user story in VersionOne, SilkCentral Test Manager is creating a template that says, ‘You need to make sure you’ve built out a solution that answers this user story,’” Wilby said.
