SilkTest is Segue Software’s offering for automated functional testing. It supports the testing of client-server and browser-based applications, as well as standalone programs. Users begin by recording actions against the GUI of the application being tested. The test script that results can be customized to utilize data from files and databases as test inputs. Validation steps can also be added. In SilkTest, users modify automated test scripts using a proprietary, object-based programming language called 4Test. SilkTest scripts can also directly access databases to execute SQL commands and perform verification of database content. One useful feature of SilkTest is the built-in Recovery System that automatically restores an application to a user-defined initial state after the execution of each individual test, thus allowing tests to be run unattended. If a series of tests is scheduled to be executed and the application being tested crashes while one test is being run, subsequent automated scripts can still be successfully executed because the application’s initial state will be restored by the Recovery System. SilkTest integrates with other Segue testing products such as SilkPlan Pro for test management and SilkRadar for defect tracking. |

I've been using Silktest since last 1 year and it's not difficult to learn this tool. This tool is purely based on the Object oriented architecture (Classes, Objects and functions) and provids a clear distinction between the test scripts and the functions wriiten in Silktest.

Too complex for me as a QA Automation engineer Name: Amol Date: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 Rating: Comments: Excellent. SilkTest is developed from a programmers point so may be quiet difficult to use from tester prespective. But considering automation as a software development project,this is the Best tool to do it.

Name: John Date: Thursday, November 23, 2006 Rating: Comments: By far the best testing tool on the market. It has unique features that is not even close to be matched by any of the other tools. Especially the fact, that it is true object-oriented gives a lot of advantages on maintaining the test suite.

Name: Kent Date: Thursday, July 06, 2006 Rating: Comments: I have used both WinRunner and SilkTest for at least 5yr, but i can see SilkTest is alot more stable and easy to use and implement. SilkTest provides the same level of features as WinRunner and the price is just half of it. We use it extensively in functional testing and returns a good result for us. So far, we have no regards on it. Name: vaishali Date: Friday, June 30, 2006 Rating: Comments: We use SilkTest extensively, especially its ability to validate database transactions. Not too many tools alllow you to do it as easily. Its nice to have this ability when you are testing business processes that involve complex database insert and update statements. Name: Razi Date: Thursday, April 13, 2006 Rating: Comments: I will be happy it can help me to learn Name: Tony B. Date: Friday, March 31, 2006 Rating: Comments: Does not always recognize objects - this is an issue I spend much time on when creating the test scripts. You may have to purchase an optional add-on, or multiple ones depending on what kind of system you are testing, so that Silk Test does not have as many problems with the objects in your application. Name: Robert N. Date: Friday, March 31, 2006 Rating: Comments: silktest has a good error recovery that comes in handy if you are running a series of tests one after another. if the system that is being tested crashes while one of the automated tests is being executed, you can set silktest to restore it to its original state, so that the next test is able to run properly. obviously, they way you structure your tests will also affect your ability to do this. Name: Jimmy Date: Thursday, March 30, 2006 Rating: Comments: The test suites we've created using Silktest have been more easy to maintain over the course of multiple product releases than they were when we were using other tools in the past. Even after our application was modified to be compatible with a new version of Windows, the silktest test scripts did not need much modification. Name: Gerald W.

Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Rating: Comments: Make sure you also purchase SilkCentral Test Manager if you want to be able to schedule test runs and also if you want to be able to create snazzy reports that document your testing effort for management. Name: Dale Date: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 Rating: Comments: SilkTest has a good IDE with a lot of useful functionality. It didn't take me long to learn the 4Test language, and the tool did a fairly good job helping with our testing effort, although it had trouble recognizing some objects. |
