Segue Segues SilkCentral Into Quality Assurance
04/28/2004
Segue Software (NASDAQ-SCM: SEGU), a software quality optimization program, says it has “advanced and extended” its Silk product line into a new quality optimization platform.
Segue offered these details:
SilkCentral is designed to centralize control and management of software quality throughout the entire software application lifecycle. SilkCentral serves as the foundation for Segue’s technology direction and incorporates all of the existing Silk family of products, as well as those from other companies, into one cohesive platform. The underlying foundation of SilkCentral is the Silk Common Architecture™ (SCA), providing a set of common services and interfaces that enable the various SilkCentral modules to integrate with other Silk products and/or third party tools. SilkCentral consists of three product modules which span the application lifecycle: SilkCentral Test Manager™, for overall management of the pre-deployment testing effort; SilkCentral Issue Manager™, for the tracking and reporting of defects; and SilkCentral Performance Manager™, for the on-going monitoring of applications, post deployment.
Segue’s complete Silk product line is fully integrated into the various components of SilkCentral, each product serving as an engine to drive a specific quality function within the platform. Functional testing and load testing is provided by Segue’s flagship products, SilkTest® and SilkPerformer®, respectively. Modules can be installed individually or combined to realize the full efficiencies of software quality resources and processes. Additionally, the open interfaces provided by the SilkCentral platform also allow third party applications to be driven by SilkCentral and to supply quality-related data to the SilkCentral repository and reporting engines.
“For years, the groups within an organization responsible for software development and quality assurance and the IT Systems people that deploy and manage the applications have worked as though they were completely separate entities,” said Larry Fortune, performance manager, ACS State Healthcare, in Atlanta, Georgia. “With Segue’s new SilkCentral Quality Optimization Platform, organizations have complete visibility into quality issues throughout the software quality process. Quality becomes an iterative process of collaboration and resource leverage across the entire enterprise and throughout the software application lifecycle.”
