On July 1st, Micro Focus announced the product obsolescence of SilkPeformer, the software performance and load testing tool. SilkPerformer customers who are under support have an upgrade path to the class-leading LoadRunner Professional performance testing tool.
While SilkPerformer has a rich history going back a couple of decades, this is an understandable move that has been expected for some time.
SilkPerformer was part of the Borland test tools suite that Micro Focus picked up in 2009. However, in 2017 Micro Focus purchased HPE and from that point on, the writing was on the wall.
Micro Focus will now focus its efforts on the already brilliant LoadRunner family of products; Developer, Cloud, Professional, and Enterprise.
