This solution adds value because we are able to get the right information at the right time, which helps us to make the right decisions. We have more than one hundred and sixty users each day, and we manage more than one hundred projects. This results in a large volume of data that we can collect in real time.

This enables us to determine the status and risk of critical items, and supply this information to management. From there, each point is considered and decisions are made with respect to how to proceed in production. For example, testing may be halted or restarted depending on results contained within the reports. It adds real value for project management.

Before using this tool, we had many different Excel templates and used email to keep track of defects. This was very chaotic. The impact of adopting this product was very large.

1) Directional reporting based on baseline (daily target of tests passed, set by test manager) with custom view of test results and defect resolution speed. Very good support for decision making.

2) Release management, cross projects, and directional reporting based on custom attributes set to any execution plans to join any current test activities (test, run, and defect) for platform/application, release (year/month) and test level (system-functional/system-integration/uat). Provides drill-down to single projects. This allows us to identify critical projects with impact on others and general release, at an early stage where you can drive decisions to reduce risks.

We are in the process of wide spreading test automation skills to the teams of our organization. With the ease of use that Silk Central provides, our teams have a smooth learning curve in test automation.

We've seen improvements to our organization in terms of the configurability and the stability of our product. With this solution, for example, configurability is no longer a risk factor for SCTM bugs.

It helps us to manage the test cases efficiently, and it also supports integration with Jenkins. We can trigger a build on Jenkins and come back to see the test results on Silk Central.

With SilkCentral, I can have a macro-view of all my tests. I can also have detailed reports about all projects.

We have automated 5000 test cases and reduced lot of manual effort which resulted in cost cutting of the project.
