Borland SilkCentral Test Manger

SilkCentralTM Test Manager is a powerful, open software test management solution for both agile and traditional development projects. It provides an integrated framework for improving productivity, traceability and visibility for all types of software testing. Its openness, flexibility and powerful traceability make it the preferred solution for agile or traditional delivery approaches looking to implement a continuous approach to software quality.

SilkCentral Test Manager enables quality teams to continuously synchronize requirements with test plans and cases to keep quality teams up to date on all testing. A sophisticated risk model and reporting system means that quality managers can visualize and balance their resources against business priorities, minimizing risks even when resources are constrained. SilkCentral’s requirements synchronization and risk based testing software make it easy for delivery teams to justify a ‘go or no-go’ release decision based on business priorities.  

As software organizations take up agile development and agile software delivery transformations, test management tools need to support traditional functional testing as well as new agile approaches to testing. New types of stakeholders need to participate in quality assurance without the burden of logging into a new tool to track work. SilkCentral Test Manager is the only solution that provides automatic capabilities to include the tests and test results for both developer oriented test automation and exploratory testing.  SilkCentral’s agile testing capabilities give agile teams a smooth transition to agile quality practices.
