Segue Extends SilkTest Functional Testing Support to Linux and UNIX Platforms

Segue Software (NASDAQ-SCM: SEGU), the leader in Software Quality Optimization(TM) (SQO(TM)) today announced the release of SilkTest(R) 7.6, featuring support for Motif(R)-based applications running on Sun(R) Solaris(TM) UNIX(R) and Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux(R) platforms. With SilkTest 7.6, Segue(R) extends the depth and breadth of supported environments for functional testing activities. SilkTest 7.6 is available immediately.

SilkTest enables organizations to quickly and cost-effectively automate the functional testing of applications on several leading platforms--including several versions of Windows and now Linux and UNIX. With SilkTest, users can conduct simultaneous, cross-platform testing of applications in a number of different environments, using one set of test scripts. For example, a customer developing software on Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris UNIX can now use a single test script, running in parallel, to verify the quality of all supported platforms. SilkTest 7.6 eliminates the need to invest in separate functional testing solutions for each supported environment or to rewrite multiple scripts customized for each platform. Additionally, the ability to run tests on all platforms simultaneously can dramatically reduce test cycle times.

SilkTest 7.6 introduces support for the following environments:

-- Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 2.1 and 3.0

-- Sun Solaris 9 and 10

-- Motif 2.1 and 2.2

In addition to these new platforms, SilkTest also supports applications developed in ActiveX, Java, PowerBuilder, Visual Basic and XML on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

"Many companies today develop applications that run on multiple platforms. Or, an enterprise may utilize multiple operating system environments to support different processes critical to business operations," said Andre Pino, chief marketing officer, Segue Software. "Up until now, it has been resource intensive and costly to test applications on a variety of platforms. Individual operating systems typically require separate testing solutions to support functional testing activities. We're pleased to expand SilkTest's support to the Linux and UNIX operating systems. Now companies running applications on multiple platforms can consolidate their testing solutions for greater efficiency and higher return on investment."
