Access real time analytics and reporting

Make metrics and analytics reports accessible to all, using email, intranet, or a portal. Uncovered issues are fully traceable, with result files and progress status available in a format you can view online, printed or exported to a PDF. Video and Screen Capture of test activities improves reproduction of issues for development teams.

Highlight risk mitigation and quality goals

Silk Central helps testers prioritize, execute, and demonstrate how test efforts respond to initiatives such as risk-based testing and requirement-driven testing. Quality goals create measurable criteria to objectively measure quality and track progress. Reports illustrate how testing has responded to these defined quality goals, ultimately enabling the critical go/no-go decisions.
