Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ: BORL) (www.borland.com),
the global leader in Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM),
today announced Borland� Silk� 2009, a comprehensive Quality
Assurance (QA) solution designed to support the testing needs of
both Agile and traditional development teams by simplifying testing
activities, increasing the speed of test execution and integrating
with a customer�s existing test tools and frameworks to provide a
consolidated view of quality across the software delivery
lifecycle.
While many large enterprises are adopting Agile software
delivery practices to improve quality and accelerate
time-to-market, testing presents challenges that can impede
companies from successfully scaling their Agile implementations. To
do so requires a major QA paradigm shift where the entire
development team shares responsibility for quality, faster testing
is needed to support rapid development cycles, and the testing
infrastructure must support the existing tools and working
practices of Agile teams if they are to succeed. While test
automation is a critical component to succeeding at
enterprise-scale Agile, traditional commercial test products have
not evolved to support the needs of the Agile QA organization.
�During our own Agile transformation, we struggled to adapt our
QA practices. We not only wrestled with the cultural implications,
but our teams found that our own tools didn�t support the new
paradigm very well,� said David Wilby, Borland�s senior vice
president of products. �As a result, we�ve made significant changes
to our Silk line to better address the needs of all enterprises �
including those moving towards more Agile methods.�
Silk 2009 Speeds and Streamlines Testing, Increases
Visibility
To address these challenges, Silk 2009 includes new
functionality that makes it easy for both developers and testers to
create and automate tests, minimizing the dependency on specialist
skills while making testing a more scalable and efficient process.
Further, Silk 2009 includes unique advancements for tests that run
significantly faster than competitive products and are
easy-to-maintain even in rapidly changing Agile environments.
- SilkTest� �
Enabling everyone to test; Fast.
SilkTest with Silk4J�, Borland�s
functional and regression testing product, lets developers create
and automate robust functional and regression tests in pure Java�
within the Eclipse� IDE. It also allows testers to use �record and
play� functionality to create tests in pure Java. In addition, new
advanced dynamic object recognition and synchronization features
significantly speed testing to enable teams to test functionality
in rapid iterations even in the constantly changing conditions that
are common in Agile development. SilkTest�s dynamic object
recognition eliminates test-rework when code is changed or
refactored � no matter how many times the user interface (UI)
changes, the tests still work. Advanced synchronization
capabilities eliminate the need to modify test scripts to include
wait times, providing advanced automation for testing today�s
dynamic Web applications. Finally, SilkTest includes cross-browser
support that enables teams to record tests in one browser and then
run them in any.
- SilkPerformer�
� Because unit testing is not enough in the enterprise.
Enhancements to SilkPerformer�s load and
performance testing capabilities simplify the process of managing
testing environments, enabling fluid allocation of test resources,
and speeding the creation of performance and load tests. With Load
Test Resource Management, teams can control and provision test
environments from anywhere, enabling more and larger load tests
that require significantly less hardware, and have the ability to
test performance and load with each iteration (even those that do
not include an UI). Seamless integration with SilkCentral� Test
Manager� for Performance Trend Reports provides Agile teams the
fast feedback they need, reporting the results of performance and
load tests in real-time to enable teams to identify any potential
issues. Finally, SilkPerformer�s Eclipse and Visual Studio plug-ins
allow developers to create performance tests within their IDE, and
SilkPerformer can repurpose functional tests from SilkTest and unit
tests from JUnit and NUnit to be used as performance tests.
- SilkCentral Test Manager
� Collaboration and visibility within a single console
SilkCentral Test Manager is a unified
framework for managing quality and testing activities across all
projects. It integrates with an organization�s existing unit,
functional and performance testing tools and frameworks (commercial
and open source), and aggregates results into a quality dashboard
for a consolidated view of progress, metrics and trends across all
projects. SilkCentral Test Manager ships with more than 20
integrations to commercial and open source requirements management,
source code control and testing tools, including JUnit, NUnit, and
FitNesse. SilkCentral Test Manager supports the QA needs of both
Agile and traditional projects, and the 2009 version includes an
Agile test management template that integrates easily with Agile
project management tools for lightweight Agile test management that
is optimized for Agile workflow. The new release also includes
bi-directional integration with VersionOne�, a leading project
management tool for Agile development. Finally, SilkCentral Test
Manager�s Hybrid Test Definitions enable seamless transformation of
manual tests into automated tests � and back again � maintaining
all test results and historical data.
Vignette Corporation, a global provider of Web Experience
solutions, began its Agile transformation three years ago in order
to increase the productivity, quality and business alignment of its
development organization. However, as Vignette scaled its Agile
practices, testing and QA become a bottleneck. The company needed a
solution that would help drive efficiency through automation, while
supporting a paradigm where developers and testers with different
tools and skill sets share responsibility for QA activities.
�The flexibility of Borland�s Silk Solutions has helped us
streamline our testing and reduce the QA bottleneck,� said Subu
Subramanian, director of engineering at Vignette. �With its open
architecture, SilkCentral Test Manager can be the central console
that drives all test cases, including those developed in testing
frameworks such as JUnit, NUnit and Selenium. With one common
system for both testers and developers to execute, report on, and
analyze their tests, we expect to dramatically reduce our testing
time.�
To help customers transform their QA organizations, Borland has
developed an Agile testing services offering. Based on its own
transformation and experience helping thousands of customers
improve software delivery, Borland offers a pragmatic approach to
Agile adoption, which begins by evaluating a customer�s existing
tools and practices through an Agile Testing Assessment. Then,
Borland�s Agile Testing Process Framework outlines a path for
improvement, providing guidance on best practices and outlining
steps to achieving Agile testing success using Silk products.
