Business Wire
Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ: BORL) (www.borland.com),
the global leader in Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM),
today announced that Blackboard Inc. (www.blackboard.com), a global
leader in education technology, has implemented Borland�
SilkCentral� Test Manager�, an open and flexible automated software
test management solution, to support every stage of its agile-based
software quality assurance lifecycle.
As online learning tools have become mission-critical for many
organizations, Blackboard has updated its quality assurance
framework to support a uniquely demanding, innovative product
development environment with a fast-paced delivery schedule. By
adding Borland SilkCentral Test Manager to its testing framework,
which already leverages Borland SilkTest� for functional and
regression testing, Blackboard seeks to further enhance the
productivity of its agile development and testing processes to
support the rapid delivery of its software products. Core to the
Borland Lifecycle Quality Management (LQM) solution, SilkCentral
Test Manager automates and streamlines all of the critical software
testing phases within a single, scalable, Web-based testing
system.
"Blackboard invests heavily in a quality approach with product
releases bound to measurable testing and quality criteria, not
timelines," says Marc Nadeau, senior director of QA, Blackboard.
"The openness and flexibility of Borland's quality management
products help us reduce our testing time and saves over 200,000
hours of testing in one year."
In addition, Blackboard has expanded its use of Borland SilkTest
after evaluating other tools with claims of quicker testing. With
its new scripting versatility and renowned object-oriented
approach, SilkTest provides a flexible, robust and maintainable
functional testing platform that seamlessly supports the company's
shift from waterfall to more agile development approaches. To
support countless combinations of operating systems, databases and
browsers for its online learning tools, Blackboard now uses the
product to achieve up to 600 hours of automated testing a day.
Blackboard�s local and remote testing staff uses the scalable,
Web-based testing system to share information and execute test
processes. Borland SilkCentral Test Manager also integrates
seamlessly with Borland SilkTest, as well as the company's
home-grown and open-source tools, ensuring a smooth, efficient
software testing process across current and new product lines.
"Borland SilkTest and Borland SilkCentral Test Manager support
the rapid pace of change from our agile development approach,� said
Nadeau. �Borland provides flexible engineering tools that are
invaluable in enabling us to continue to deliver innovation and
quality products as Blackboard continues to grow. In addition,
Borland's outstanding services and collaborative approach make them
the best strategic solutions partner for our evolving QA
needs."
