Oracle Application Testing Suite includes tools like OpenScript, Oracle Load Testing, and Oracle Test Manager. OpenScript allows users to easily create automated test scripts to simulate end-user transactions and execute functional and regression testing. It can also be used with Oracle Load Testing to test application performance under heavy loads. Oracle Test Manager provides a web-based solution to plan, organize, document and manage the entire application testing process.

Is there a Competitive Edge?

11. OpenScript § Technology

12. OpenScript § Scripting Supported

13. OpenScript § Tree view / Java Code

15. Make scripts re-playable
• Replace input values with values from databanks
• Add unique string
• Define global variables using libraries

16. Make scripts re-playable (cont.)
• Perform action only if object exists
• Add mandatory wait time – delay() vs think()
• Add information, warning or failure messages

17. Make scripts re-playable (cont.)
• for{} loop to perform action several times
• while {} loop to wait for activity to be completed

18. Make scripts re-playable (cont.)
• Select test data from database

19. DRY principle in test scripts
• Don’t Repeat Yourself – create scripts for test utilities

20. Sample test utilities (EBS specific)
• Switch responsibility by responsibility name
• Navigate to application form by given path
• Return to application initial condition
• Exit application
• Close all browsers
• Get request ID from the dialog message
• Check request result
• View request output
• Check if message appears in status bar or dialog box

21. Structure test scripts
• Create launch script to get application to the initial condition
• Split functional tests by simple business activities
• Start / end functional test in the application initial condition
• Create masterdrive script to call functional tests
• “izvērtēt unikālās vērtības”
Benefits
• Only the masterdrive test script should be playback to execute
all tests for the module
• Results for all tests are stored at masterdrive test

22. Cost drivers
• Changes in recorded test scripts are expensive:
• Testing of test scripts after corrections is time consuming!
• Replace input strings with variables or databank values –
evaluate necessity of unique or test run specific input values
• Test scripts after changes done should iteself be tested!

23. Oracle Test Starter Kit
• Sample test scripts from Oracle E-Business Suite QA group
• Test scripts against an EBS Vision Demo database
• Previous versions created for HP WinRunner and HP QTP testing
tools
• Oracle Test Starter Kit for E-Business Suite R12.1.1 for
OpenScript
Oracle Functional Testing Accelerator for Oracle EBS
Test Starter Kits for R12.1.1

24. Summary
• OpenScript is suitable not only for testing Oracle eBusiness-Suite
• Can test web-based applications
• User friendly GUI also for testers not keen on coding in Java 
• Test results are well presented
