Micro Focus SilkTest supports traditional and Agile testing and continues the tradition of enabling strong, robust functional testing against the latest technologies:

• The fastest recording and execution of functional test scripts available today, in both Java® and 4Test®

• Optimized testing for developers and testers in traditional and agile environments

• Extended support for .NET development and cross-browser recording and playback

• Advanced dynamic object recognition and synchronization for fast, clean, efficient, quality testing

Micro Focus has also expanded the recording capabilities of Micro Focus Silk4J™, an Eclipse plug-in that allows you to create and execute Java test scripts using Micro Focus’ advanced Open Agent technology. Micro Focus Silk4J is available as a standalone license.

With the new standalone recorder, you can record, playback and then create scripts in either Java or 4Test.

Functional Testing of Web Services

Functional testing of Web services in Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) requires the ability test without a user interface. Micro Focus delivers this capability with Micro Focus SilkPerformer® SOA Edition.

Micro Focus SilkPerformer SOA Edition and .NET/Java Explorers support the testing of Java or.NET Web services by testing the following key criteria:

• Unit/component validation: assures individual services work properly in the developer’s environment

• Functionality: ensures that services actually meet business expectations and deliver value from an end-user perspective

• Performance: makes certain that Web services perform well under heavy, concurrent usage

• Interoperability: makes sure that Web services continue working as designed when combined with other services individually or under load conditions
