Borland jobs
Just after having celebrated Borland (BORL) 25th birthday, the famous company announced the resignation of Tod Nielsen as CEO, within hours, VMWare (VMW) announced the appointments of Tod Nielsen as COO. In addition to this news Borland is laying off 130 employees, or approximately 15 percent of its regular full-time staff. The stock price hovers just below $0.85. Will Borland survive another crisis?

Silktest jobs
Looks like job market for Silktest QA engineer shrank dramatically in the last few year. Based on this two years old post open position for test automation tool specialist, there was 184 open SilkTest position on Dice.com, and 17 Silktest jobs on sfbay.craigslist.org. Right now these jobs search engines offer just 54 and 4 Silk Test jobs respectively. Where did all the jobs go? One may think that most of these jobs were outsourced to भारत गणराज्य, but how about 104 results for Selenium jobs on dice.com and 23 open Selenium position in sfbay.craigslist.org. It seems despite Borland's efforts to revive SilkTest, more and more companies are looking for free open source test automation tool like Selenium. Perhaps Borland should start slashing SilkTest price ?

SilkTest Question 71: Does SilkTest support Chrome browser?
Today Google officially released a test version of its Internet browser called Chrome. It is definitely exceptionally early to expect that Borland would provide support for Chrome browsers in SilkTest in the nearby future. Keep in mind that Internet Explorer is still commands more than 75 percent of the world browser market. In mean time, download Chrome browser and became proverbial with new kid on the search-engine world. If you really believe that your company would expect quality assurance team to test application in Chrome browser, look at Selenium open source test automation tool. Not long ago, the creator of Selenium Jason Randolph Huggins was hired by Google, and I expect that support for Chrome browser would appear in Selenium much faster then in SilkTest. So download Chrome browser on your machine and take pleasure in more cross browser testing.
