Silk Test is a tool for automated function and regression testing of enterprise applications.^[1] It was originally developed by Segue Software which was acquired by Borland in 2006. Borland was acquired by Micro Focus International in 2009.

Silk Test offers various clients:

• Silk Test Workbench allows automation testing on a visual level (similar to former TestPartner) as well as using VB.Net as scripting language
• Silk Test Classic uses the domain specific 4Test language for automation scripting. It is an object oriented language similar to C++. It uses the concepts of classes, objects, and inheritance.
• Silk4J allows automation in Eclipse using Java as scripting language
• Silk4Net allows the same in Visual Studio using VB or C#

Main features of Silk Test

• Silk Test Client is an IDE for creating, maintaining and executing tests.
• Silk Test Agent: translates the script commands into GUI commands (User actions). These commands can be executed on the same machine as the host or on a remote machine.

Silk Test identifies all windows and controls of the application under test as objects and defines all of the properties and attributes of each window. Thus it supports an object-based implementation.

Silk Test supports both recording and descriptive programming methods to identify and verify the elements in the AUT. It also identifies any mouse movements and keystrokes, enabling testing against custom objects in the AUT.

Silk Test supports testing of different technologies: Mobile (iOS, Android) .NET (WinForms, WPF), Java (Swing, SWT), DOM, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, SAP Windows GUI.
