SilkTest™ is the leading functional testing software for organizations looking to automate the time consuming and labor intensive activity of manually testing Web, Java, or traditional client/server-based applications.
With its ability to provide users of any skill level with the tools they need to be highly productive, SilkTest greatly 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.
The benefits - now more time can be spent creating new tests to uncover more defects or more quickly confirm that the product is ready for release .
