Micro Focus has updated its Silk integrated testing suite.

The 2010 R2 release of Micro Focus's Silk integrated testing suite delivers capabilities including goal-based testing, configuration testing and extended support for an improved configuration suite, and support for additional development environments and web 2.0 applications, company officials said.

Among other improvements, SilkCentral Test Manager 2010 R2 provides code coverage analysis for .NET as well as Java, and adds test execution video capture.

SilkTest 2010 R2 gains support for Adobe Flash Version 4.x and Java AWT/Swing, and a 'no coding' approach to visual testing.

SilkPerformer 2010 R2 includes improved AJAX load testing capabilities and extended support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Citrix Online plug-in 12, Citrix Web Interface 5.3., Flex 4 and OpenSSL 1.0.0.a.

"It is hard to overstate the importance software testing has to the smooth running of a business," said Bruce Craig, general manager, Australia and New Zealand. "If applications fail, it costs organisations valuable time and money to fix the resulting problems. The Silk product line ensures that software is comprehensively tested and delivered to the highest quality standards, producing better applications in a faster timeframe."
