New SilkTest Version Leverages Software Quality Optimization In
Multi-Platform Environments Segue Software (NASDAQ-SCM: SEGU), the
leader in Software Quality Optimization(TM) (SQO(TM)) today
announced the release of SilkTest(R) 7.6, featuring support for
Motif(R)-based applications running on Sun(R) Solaris(TM) UNIX(R)
and Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux(R) platforms. With SilkTest 7.6,
Segue(R) extends the depth and breadth of supported environments
for functional testing activities. SilkTest 7.6 is available
immediately. SilkTest enables organizations to quickly and
cost-effectively automate the functional testing of applications on
several leading platforms--including several versions of Windows
and now Linux and UNIX. With SilkTest, users can conduct
simultaneous, cross-platform testing of applications in a number of
different environments, using one set of test scripts. For example,
a customer developing software on Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris
UNIX can now use a single test script, running in parallel, to
verify the quality of all supported platforms. SilkTest 7.6
eliminates the need to invest in separate functional testing
solutions for each supported environment or to rewrite multiple
scripts customized for each platform. Additionally, the ability to
run tests on all platforms simultaneously can dramatically reduce
test cycle times. SilkTest 7.6 introduces support for the following
environments: -- Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 2.1 and 3.0 -- Sun
Solaris 9 and 10 -- Motif 2.1 and 2.2 In addition to these new
platforms, SilkTest also supports applications developed in
ActiveX, Java, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic and XML on Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server
2003. "Many companies today develop applications that run on
multiple platforms. Or, an enterprise may utilize multiple
operating system environments to support different processes
critical to business operations," said Andre Pino, chief marketing
officer, Segue Software. "Up until now, it has been resource
intensive and costly to test applications on a variety of
platforms. Individual operating systems typically require separate
testing solutions to support functional testing activities. We're
pleased to expand SilkTest's support to the Linux and UNIX
operating systems. Now companies running applications on multiple
platforms can consolidate their testing solutions for greater
efficiency and higher return on investment." About SilkTest
SilkTest is the industry-leading automated tool for testing the
functionality of enterprise applications in any environment. It
enables organizations to thoroughly verify application reliability
within the confines of today's short testing cycles by leveraging
the accuracy, consistency and time-saving benefits of Segue's
automated testing technology. Designed for ease of use, SilkTest
includes a host of productivity-boosting features that let both
novice and expert users create functional tests quickly, execute
them unattended and analyze results instantly. With less time spent
on testing, QA staff can expand the depth and breadth of test
coverage, optimizing software quality. In addition to validating
the full functionality of an application prior to its initial
release, users can easily evaluate the impact of new enhancements
on existing functionality by simply reusing pre-existing test
cases. Due to its object-oriented architecture, tests developed in
SilkTest are easily maintained and reusable from one build to the
next, as well as from release to release. About Segue Software
