Micro Focus launches new suite of testing software
New Delhi: Micro Focus, a provider of Enterprise Application Modernisation, Testing and Management solutions, today announces the availability of SilkTest 2009 R2 and Silk4J 2009 R2 from Borland Software Corporation (a Micro Focus Company). The new suite of applications testing software enables customers worldwide to maximise return on investment (ROI) will minimising time expended on the critical testing process. As organisations recover from the economic downturn and launch new services and applications, the testing process will be key to ensure the smooth integration of these new services and applications into the business. SilkTest is the proven quality choice of customers worldwide for functional and regression test automation. This latest software release continues on the theme of openness and technical excellence with improvements in test creation, execution and maintenance and provides support for new technologies and the Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems. SilkTest 2009 R2 provides functional and regression test automation for a number of important technologies like Web 2.0/RIA, Java, and Microsoft technologies in a seamless fashion, which enables the testing of workflows that span multiple applications or multi-technology applications. SilkTest 2009 R2 also supports testers and developers by offering a robust and powerful environment that improves effectiveness by allowing different stakeholders to build true test automation frameworks and maximise ROI. "We've focused on continuing to provide industry-leading testing solutions to our customers and SilkTest 2009 R2 is the latest example of this," said Joachim Herschmann, Product Director Test Automation at Borland (a Micro Focus Company). "Early adopter customers have already noticed the speed and automatic synchronisation enhancements provided by this new version. SilkTest 2009 R2 allows customers to reduce the cost, risk and complexity of testing state-of-the-art applications, increasing confidence in the quality of their applications. In addition to the SilkTest interface, which has proved very popular with Quality Assurance professionals, the Silk4J Eclipse plug-in is bringing testing capabilities to the developer environment." The new version of SilkTest also includes improved Open Agent Technology, which allows Dynamic Object Recognition for a decoupling of an application's Graphical User Interface (GUI) object hierarchy from its representation in test scripts, resulting in significantly lower script maintenance. Advanced synchronisation capabilities eliminate the need to modify test scripts to include wait times, providing advanced automation for testing today's dynamic Web applications. SilkTest now provides completely automatic synchronisation for testing Web2.0 applications on Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 as well as Internet Explorer, 6, 7 and 8 through its open agent technology. The SilkTest Open Agent also now uses dynamically allocated ports. The dynamic port allocation feature for the open agent makes it possible to leverage the supported technologies for SilkPerformer 2009 R2 GUI value unit tests.
