Borland and VMware Inc. have come together to provide unique application testing efficiencies as virtualisation becomes very popular.

Both companies will introduce product enhancers that can function with each other. Borland is launching its SilkCentral Test Manager 2007 software testing package and VMware is coming out with VMware Lab Manager 2.5.


"We've integrated with Lab Manager so that when a quality engineer using SilkCentral Test Manager as their test management interface wants to deploy a test on multiple configurations, they can do so with their virtualised environment by leveraging Lab Manager integration," said Brad Johnson, Borland director of product marketing for life-cycle quality management products. "They don't have to leave the SilkCentral Test Manager interface.

"What Lab Manager does is it sets up the environment for the test automatically, and SilkCentral can perform the tests," said James Phillips, senior director of software life-cycle automation at VMware.
