Borland plans call for further integration of SilkTest with Borland products such as the StarTeam change management offering. It already can work with Borland's Caliber package for requirements management.

Telelogic on Monday will debut updates to its System Architect enterprise architecture and modeling tools, featuring a version of the product tuned for use on the Web.

System Architect/XT (Extended Team) is a Web-based version of the product, intended for communications among a distributed workforce. The XT version features templates for use by less-technical members of a team, such as business decision makers.

System Architect 10.4, meanwhile, is the more feature-rich Windows client version of the tool. It features a new user interface and upgraded generation of BPEL (Business Process Execution Language), with more patterns. "It has more detail in the generation," said Jan Popkin, chief strategist at Telelogic.

The System Architect/ERP module being introduced allows for autodiscovery of system tables in ERP applications, for inclusion in the System Architect repository. This capability provides for visualization and analysis.
