- 1. DATA SHEET SILK4J Product Overview Supporting Test Driven Development Silk4J™, SilkTest®’s powerful plug-in for Eclipse, is the most Creating enough tests to thoroughly verify your application’s advanced tool for automating the functional testing process of reliability can be a daunting task in today’s high speed development enterprise software applications. Silk4J’s powerful test automation environments. Silk4J has many features to promote rapid test capabilities make it the perfect solution for regression, cross- development, such as a Standalone Action Recorder for rapid test platform and localization testing across a broad set of application creation, customization and try runs of tests. However in a Test technologies including AJAX and Web 2.0, RCP or .NET and client/ Driven Development environment there may often be no GUI to server, within the confines of today’s short testing cycles. Designed record from. With Silk4J test scripts can be created in Java prior to, for realizing automation benefits even when applied to complex or alongside, code development to represent the workflow of the test cases, Silk4J brings true test automation capability directly to software. Code can be leveraged and enhanced to support a Test the Java developer’s preferred environment and helps you deal Driven Development approach. easily with changes in the Application Under Test (AUT). Silk4J’s Reliable and robust test automation powerful testing framework enables high reusability of tests across test projects, further increasing ROI. With less time spent building Critical to automating today’s applications built with AJAX and and maintaining testing suites, QA professionals can expand test other highly dynamic capabilities is their asynchronous behavior. coverage and optimize application quality. Normally this would require many synchronization points. Silk4J provides unique built-in fully automatic synchronization that By allowing you to create and run more tests for less cost, SilkTest completely eliminates the need for manual wait statements is a cornerstone of the Micro Focus Continuous Quality Assurance and delivers robust and reliable scripts out of the box. Web 2.0 approach which enables you to check the quality of systems as test scripts can be replayed against multiple browsers without they are changed. modification Key Benefits Also important for reliable test automation is the ability to react when systems fail while being tested.Silk4J offers unique features for Realizing the benefits of automated testing running tests in an unattended 24/7 mode. Should an error occur, such as an application crash, the error is logged and the application Silk4J delivers the efficiency and productivity benefits of is restored to its original base state. Subsequent tests can then functional test automation while mitigating the classic challenges continue to run and produce valid test results. of implementing automated testing, such as time, budget and resource constraints. Successful automation comprises manageable Maximizes test throughput development effort, reusable and easily maintained test assets, the ability to run the automation whenever and wherever it’s needed Today’s automated test cycles are often run during off hours to plus quick and accurate results analysis. Silk4J enables all of these check quality with short test windows. Silk4J’s text execution is elements to help you realize the benefits of your automated testing the fastest in the industry with optimizations based on native efforts. With Silk4J functional test automation leads to quality and implementation of search algorithms and sophisticated caching cost advantages: mechanisms. These optimizations allow you maximize test coverage and increase confidence in quality. Higher QA productivity and lower testing costs Ease of maintenance Higher test coverage A classic challenge of test automation is the fragility of test Consistent and repeatable test results scripts when Applications Under Test (AUT) are modified during development. Silk4J eliminates the risk of test scripts breaking Ability to create powerful testing frameworks and include Java developers in the testing process Reduced risk of defects and associated costs
- 2. DATA SHEET | Silk4J through its industry leading, robust object recognition approach. Product Specifications & System Silk4J’s object recognition decouples the hierarchy of the AUT’s graphical elements from the internal representation in the test Requirements scripts that shields scripts from the underlying changes. A powerful System requirements recorder greatly enhances the ability to create test automation frameworks that do not need to change as the application Your computer must meet the hardware requirements listed below: changes or is localized. This is due to built-in locator optimization, configurable object identification strategies and support for custom Platform attributes/properties and black/white list for attributes and values.
