[. . . ] DATA SHEET MICRO FOCUS SILKTEST Product Overview Micro Focus SilkTest® is the most advanced tool for automating functional tests for enterprise software applications. SilkTest's powerful test automation capabilities make it the perfect solution for regression, cross-platform and localization testing across a broad set of application technologies ­ including AJAX and Web 2. 0, Java or . NET and client/server ­ within the confines of today's short testing cycles. [. . . ] Reliable and robust test automation Critical to automating today's applications built with AJAX and other highly dynamic capabilities is their asynchronous behavior. Normally this would require many synchronization points but SilkTest provides unique built-in fully automatic synchronization that completely eliminates the need for manual wait statements and delivers robust and reliable scripts out of the box. Web 2. 0 test scripts can be replayed against multiple browsers without modification. Also important for reliable test automation is the ability to react when systems fail while being tested. SilkTest offers unique features for running tests in an unattended 24/7 mode. Should an error occur, such as an application crash, it is logged and the application restored to its original base state. Maximizes test throughput Today's automated test cycles are often run during off hours to check quality with short test windows. SilkTest's text execution is the fastest in the industry with optimizations based on native implementation of search algorithms and sophisticated caching mechanisms. These optimizations allow you maximize test coverage and increase confidence in quality. Ease of maintenance A classic challenge of test automation is the fragility of test scripts when Applications Under Test (AUT) are modified during development. SilkTest eliminates the risk of test scripts breaking through its industry leading, robust, object recognition approach. This decouples the hierarchy of the AUT's graphical elements from the internal representation in the test scripts that shields scripts from Key Benefits Realizing the benefits of automated testing SilkTest delivers the efficiency and productivity benefits of functional test automation while mitigating the classic challenges of implementing automated GUI testing such as time, budget and resource constraints.
