Now Based on Advanced Architecture, SilkCentral Test Manager Allows
Software Organizations to More Efficiently Manage Software
Projects, Accelerate Time-to-Market Segue Software (NASDAQ-SCM:
SEGU), the leader in Software Quality Optimization(TM) (SQO(TM)),
today announced the release of its next-generation test management
solution, SilkCentral(TM) Test Manager 8.0. SilkCentral Test
Manager is a comprehensive offering for managing software quality
activities throughout the entire application lifecycle. With
SilkCentral Test Manager, independent software vendors and software
development organizations can optimize software quality and reduce
development cycle time--even when applications span multiple
components, technologies and platforms. SilkCentral Test Manager
provides the quality platform necessary to define, measure, manage
and improve application quality from requirements through
deployment. Since SilkCentral Test Manager is fully Web-enabled, it
can support distributed, outsourced or centralized software quality
environments. Powerful Web reporting capabilities provide
up-to-the-minute visibility into the project test plan and progress
made against it, enabling more efficient and effective decision
making in areas such as resource allocation, schedule and overall
release readiness. By gaining visibility into application quality
status, development, testing and business teams can work in a
parallel and collaborative manner. SilkCentral Test Manager
facilitates adoption of iterative development processes, such as
Agile development, where it is essential to start testing early in
the development cycle and more frequently between builds, improving
quality and accelerating time to market. Version 8.0 includes
enhancements for Requirements Management, Test Planning, Test
Execution, Issue Management and Reporting capabilities. New
features include comprehensive, bi-directional support for
Rational(R) Requisite Pro(R), Borland(R) CaliberRM(R) and
integration with other requirements management solutions; deep
integration with SilkCentral Issue Manager and other defect
tracking systems such as IBM(R) Rational ClearQuest(R); a
hierarchical treeview for creating and managing test suites; a new
manual testing interface; and the ability to automatically
schedule, execute and view results of testcase runs. A centralized
common repository for all quality-related assets--to include
requirements, functional and performance test plans and test
results--gives application quality stakeholders access to
consistent data, versus the disparate, individual silos of
information still common in many organizations today. Utilizing a
single, central repository provides timely information needed to
prioritize quality efforts and resources in those areas that will
deliver the greatest return on investment. Sophisticated reporting
provides a dashboard view into overall project quality with the
ability to drill down into additional levels of detail, as desired.
SilkCentral(TM) Test Manager 8.0 is now based on the SilkCentral
Common Architecture(TM) (SCA(TM)) which provides a number of
inherent benefits including simplified access, simplified usage,
data visibility and consistency, integration and extensibility. The
SCA provides a series of core services such as a central data
repository, collaboration services, integration services, user
management services and workflow services for use by the various
SilkCentral platform modules. Based on J2EE and Web services
standards, the SCA provides an open and highly extensible platform
for integration with both Segue and third party tools and
platforms. "SilkCentral Test Manager provides us a single point of
control from which to manage all quality-related activities
throughout the application lifecycle," said Dan Young, automation
developer, Branch Banking & Trust, a Winston-Salem-based
banking and financial services firm. "With the central repository
SilkCentral Test Manager offers, all quality stakeholders can have
access to current, consistent information about application quality
status. This level of control and visibility enables us to make
sound business decisions about resource utilization, testing
priorities and overall schedule commitments. SilkCentral Test
Manager will return value to our business by allowing better
visibility of issues more quickly, resulting in higher quality
software applications delivered at a lower cost." SilkCentral Test
Manager offers support for five key quality management activities:
-- Requirements Management Module--Provides the framework needed
for test groups to capture, organize and document key business
requirements and then verify that they are testable. With shared
access to these requirements, development and testing teams can
work in parallel. As developers begin to build the features
specified in the requirements, QA can create a test strategy and
plan. -- Test Planning Module--Offers clear insight into which
features must be tested to meet key requirements, allowing quality
assurance personnel to design the most appropriate test--defining
the nature of the test (manual or automated), test type
(functional, operational or performance test), level of testing
(unit, assembly, integration or pre-production release), and
platforms, environments and technologies to be tested. -- Test
Execution Module--After aligning test schedule with business
requirements, the quality assurance organization executes and
manages its tests--identifying defects, bottlenecks and integration
issues along the way, while managing test coverage and progress
against the test plan. With SilkCentral Test Manager, tests can
also be traced back to requirements to prove compliance with
relevant industry regulations. -- Issue Management Module--Defect
management capabilities automatically record and facilitate the
resolution of defects encountered in the software development
process. -- Reporting Module--Delivers precise, consistent
information, providing management with ongoing visibility into
overall application quality trends, metrics and other information
critical to make confident release readiness decisions. "Software
applications have become increasingly complex, requiring
organizations to test multiple platforms, languages and browsers
under a seemingly infinite number of scenarios--and with the
constant time pressure to release," said Ian McLeod, senior vice
president of research and development, Lexington Development Lab.
"Business requirements, coupled with market demands and competitive
pressures to release software updates, can cause quality to
suffer--often deteriorating brand loyalty and even a company's
market valuation. SilkCentral Test Manager manages quality risks by
providing all project teams throughout an organization with easy
access to centralized and consistent quality metrics. SilkCentral
Test Manager facilitates the implementation of software quality
optimization initiatives, maximizing the potential for business
success and a solid return on software and technology investments."
