Test Governance at Poste Italiane

Silk Central is ready to use in less than two hours for basic operation, from initial installation on server to first test run by tester.

In less than 30 minutes you can create a new project, create or import a test list from Excel, set up user permissions, create integration to internal or external defect management, setup email notifications for defect status change, create an execution plan, run a manual set, and produce standard reporting.
