Borland SilkTest 2006 is "Available"
Submitted by Brent Strange on Sat, 16/09/2006 - 23:59.SilkTest 2006 has been released... to customers; and in this release they have one baked feature:
Integration with Borland® StarTeam
SilkTest 2006 supports integration with Borland's StarTeam 2005 that enables
you to manage and share your SilkTest project files, test scripts, custom include
files, and data files.
The SilkTest source control integration with StarTeam supports file check-in, check-out, get-latest-version, and other functions typical for source control systems.
also included in this release is the unbaked, beta release?? feature:
SilkTest TrueLog
TrueLog is a powerful technology that simplifies root cause analysis of test
case failures via visual verification. The results of test runs can be examined in
Silk TrueLog Explorer. When an error occurs during a test run, Silk TrueLog Explorer
enables you to easily locate the line in your 4Test script that generated
the error so that the issue can be resolved.
Silk TrueLog Explorer for SilkTest 2006 is a beta release.
I can see the TrueLog feature being pretty helpful for troubleshooting post run. Read more info here.
SilkTest has a lot of competition now days and in comparison can be a tad spendy at $6500. Hey, did you know that the SWEA and NUnit automation solution will cost you a whopping $59.00? I've used both SilkTest and SWEA for web page testing and I prefer SWEA. Yes, SilkTest is capable of a lot more, but if you're looking for plain ol' web page automation make sure to give SWEA a test drive.
