Micro Focus , the leading provider of enterprise application modernization, testing and management solutions, on Wednesday launched Silk Central 12.0 and Silk Performer 9.0, the company’s latest test management and application performance solutions. 

The Silk product portfolio now provides a fully integrated framework to improve productivity, traceability and visibility for all types of software testing, helping organizations to achieve quality goals and meet aggressive service level agreements (SLAs).

From functional testing to cloud based performance testing, it is critical for organizations to have the right tools to spot and correct defects rapidly across the application portfolio. With the new releases of Silk Central and Silk Performer, software development teams can now fully align standard and mobile application testing efforts.

The real time visibility and collaboration provided by Silk Central’s new dashboard combined with Silk Performer’s extended support for Web and native application testing, enables development teams to catch and drive out defects earlier in the development lifecycle. With increased control and improved productivity, organizations can focus resources where they deliver the most value.

 “By connecting the tools with processes, Silk now provides the critical, customized control over what, how, when and where teams conduct testing”, said Archie Roboostoff, Borland Solutions Portfolio Director at Micro Focus.

Silk Central is a powerful, open, test management solution for both agile and traditional development projects that improves productivity, control and visibility for all types of software testing. With its new personal dashboard, Silk Central provides users with a fully customizable, collaborative UI that serves as the jumping off point for testers and test managers.
