SilkTest Features

Database testing capabilities SilkTest enables you to manipulate your
database directly using the Database Tester (DBTester). DBTester provides
direct access, using SQL, from a test script to any database supported by
ODBC drivers.

Full distributed testing You can test client/server applications in a
networked environment.

Additional features for
Web applications

The following features are available when testing Web applications:

Browser and platform independence SilkTest supports popular browsers
on various platforms. You can create tests against one browser and use those
tests on different browsers, enabling you to test whether your application
works properly on multiple browsers. With minor modifications your tests
can support different browsers and different versions of a particular browser.
See the Release Notes for information on supported browsers.

Technology independence SilkTest works seamlessly with the different Web
technologies used to develop browser-based applications.

Multiple testing options using browser extensions SilkTest allows you to
view and test Web applications in two different ways, depending on the
browser you are using and your testing requirements. Using the Document
Object Model (DOM) extension, SilkTest is able to query the browser
directly for information about the objects on the Web page.
