Borland SilkCentral Integrates With VMware

By Jeff Feinman

July 15, 2007 — Borland Software was expected to announce on July 9 the newest version of its automated software test management tool, SilkCentral Test Manager 2007, which will add the ability to integrate with VMware Lab Manager.

SilkCentral Test Manager 2007 delivers support for virtual lab environments, and allows a user to run a test across multiple configurations in an automated fashion, while VMware Lab Manager provides the ability to create a test run that works across multiple platforms and configurations, without the need to set up multiple virtualized images. The combination of the two is meant to reduce the time and cost constraints of maintaining test labs.

The newest version of SilkCentral Test Manager also offers enhanced requirements-based testing capabilities that improve the tool’s usefulness with Borland’s Caliber requirements management software, according to Brad Johnson, director of product marketing for Borland.

Johnson said that with Borland’s “Open ALM” approach—the ability to use any combination of life-cycle tools and catering to a broad range of platforms—the company is trying to help customers improve efficiency and costs within the delivery of software.

“Other companies do offer virtual lab management software in the marketplace, but VMware is the leader,” Johnson said. “About 70% of our customers have told us that they’re using VMware, and we figure if we go after that percent of our market that has VMware in their environment, I think we’re going to do very well.”

Borland restructures, expects layoffs after Nielsen departure Tod Nielsen and Peter Morowski are leaving Borland, and the company faces low quarterly earnings and impending layoffs. An analyst comments on these matters and the rise of former CFO Erik Prusch to acting CEO and president.

Zeichick's Take: Borland back in the frying pan VMware is happy about taking in Tod Nielsen, but what about Borland, the company he is leaving behind? All signs point to trouble with the former software development powerhouse.

Short Takes: February 1 Our editors take a look at what Tod Nielsen accomplished at Borland, consider trying out the Windows 7 beta and observe the growing popularity of Ruby when compared to Apple.
