SilkPerformer .NET Explorer

SilkPerformer .NET Explorer, which was developed using .NET, allows you to

test Web Services, .NET Remoting objects, and other GUI-less .NET objects.

.NET Explorer allows you to define and execute complete test scenarios with

different test cases without requiring manual programming—everything is done

visually via point and click operations. Test scripts are visual and easy to

understand—even for staff members who aren't familiar with .NET

programming languages.

Test scenarios created with SilkPerformer .NET Explorer can be exported to

SilkPerformer Workbench for immediate reuse in concurrency and load testing;

and to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET for further customization.

To launch SilkPerformer .NET Explorer:

If you have SilkPerformer SOA Edition, go to: Start/Programs/Borland/

SilkPerformer 2006 R2/SilkPerformer Workbench. Create a new project with the

application type .NET/.NET Explorer or Web Services/.NET Explorer.

SilkPerformer Add-In for Microsoft Visual Studio

.NET

The SilkPerformer Add-In for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET allows you to

implement test drivers in Visual Studio .NET that are compatible with

SilkPerformer Workbench. Such test drivers can be augmented with

SilkPerformer features that facilitate test organization, verification, performance

measurement, test data generation, and reporting.

Tests created with the Add-In can either be run within Visual Studio (with full

access to SilkPerformer's functionality) or within SilkPerformer Workbench (for

concurrency and load testing scenarios).

To launch SilkPerformer Add-In for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, go to: Start/

Programs/Visual Studio .NET/Visual Studio .NET and create a new

SilkPerformer Visual Studio project.
