ORLAND

Borland: quality in an age of change As Gartner noted when awarding Borland software a Magic Quadrant “Leader” status in its Integrated Software Quality Suites report 2014 – for the third successive year – “Testing is a key process in software development but technology changes … and this can complicate vendor evaluation for testers and test managers.” In other words, testing remains as important as ever, but is becoming more challenging all the time. The ongoing proliferation of platforms and devices – and the demand for greater application functionality – means that it isn‟t going to get easier any time soon.

It‟s a problem Borland understands and is always looking to address. By continuing to innovate the Silk Portfolio, Borland‟s comprehensive quality and performance tools for desktop, web, cloud and mobile is keeping its clients ahead of the curve.

With the most recent updates addressing intranet load testing through VPN, web page optimisation and cross- browser testing for web and mobile web applications, we‟ve put the means to succeed in the hands of the people who need it.

Borland‟s commitment to a continuous stream of innovation in the software quality space aims to deliver on the ever-changing needs of its customers, where quality is about much more than functionality, right across the software supply chain.

Its rich feature-set and wide integration capability with third party tools enables Borland‟s customers to validate quality across any application, running on any device. The end result is applications that work, perform and deliver a strong user experience. In awarding Borland this hat-trick of appearances, Gartner noted Borland‟s “ability to execute” and “completeness of vision”. It‟s not been lost on its customers, either.

Test Automation for Desktop, Web and Mobile Applications What kind of application do you need to test? Is it installed on the Windows Desktop? Does it run in a browser? Is it used on Smart Phones or Tablets? It does not matter which platform your software is developed for. Ranorex provides a cost-effective and comprehensive test automation tool to create reliable automated tests for any kind of application technology. Due to its ease-of-use, increased testing accuracy and low cost-per-seat, Ranorex is an excellent choice for software teams of virtually any size or level of sophistication, and is now used by hundreds of enterprise and commercial software companies around the world. Reduce Test Maintenance and become agile Not only software development teams move to agile methodologies. Also testing teams need to become agile too. Automated testing is one of the key factors to deliver in time and to ensure high software quality in today‟s fast moving world. In processes like this, robust and reliable tests scripts are absolutely essential. There is no time left to spend days for test script “reanimation”. Ranorex tools assist you in being prepared. A modern, object based test automation approach separates your logical test case structure from the technical identification layer. Moreover, addressing UI elements on your desktop, in the browser or on your mobile device is done by the powerful RanoreXPath, allowing your test scripts being robust against UI changes in the system under test. Working in Teams – Not Everyone has to be an Expert! Seriously, test automation is more than Capture&Replay, right? – You are right! At same time, we know that not everyone in a test team has the skills to implement automated test scripts. For this reason, the Ranorex tool set offers different test automation approaches making it easier to work in teams. Ranorex Studio assists testing teams working together on a test automation project. While domain testers might focus on which test cases have to be automated, automation experts concentrate on preparing reusable automation modules (key words). You don‟t have any experts? No problem. Ranorex Recorder is perfect to get started with Ranorex. Integrated in Ranorex Studio Ranorex Recorder is a lot more than classic Capture&Replay. It allows users to simply creating flexible and reusable automation modules without hitting the „Record‟ button.
