SilkTest

PowerTest can help you evaluate, purchase and implement SilkTest.

SilkTest by Borland Software (Segue) facilitates the transition from manual testing to basic automation and onto more sophisticated automation infrastructures. Workflow bars, project workspaces, visual programming aides, as well as a highly portable and maintainable scripting language, combine to deliver high ROI automation that can be run unattended and distributed 24x7x365 with minimal maintenance needs. SilkTest's powerful features allow for shortened test cycles and greater test coverage, since less time is spent maintaining existing automation and waiting for test execution results.
