• QCTO is a tool that automates the process of building &
running tests for Oracle PL/SQL program units
• Rather than write test code & manually verify results, you
describe the expected behaviours of a program
• QCTO stores those behaviours as test cases in a
repository
• It generates the test code as a PL/SQL package
• It runs your tests & automatically verifies results

Database Monitoring for Oracle

21. 38 Confidential Database Performance Monitoring
Challenges that Customers Face with Database
Performance Monitoring
• Database Administrators and Managers are challenged with establishing
consistent visibility across heterogeneous database environments, as
well as delivering deep insight into transaction analysis.
• The Major pain points include:
– Lack of visibility into the health of the database environment
– Inability to diagnose and analyze real time and historical performance issues
– Being Proactive - fixing problems before they affect users
– Clear and consistent reporting (automated)
– Proving that the source of problems is not tied to the database (if a problem isn’t in
the database)
– Productivity of the staff (cross training DBAs across multiple platforms)
– Each database platform is monitored by a separate tool
– Native tools are real time only and cumbersome
– Ensuring consistent service levels

22. 39 Confidential Database Performance Monitoring
• Database Performance Monitoring solutions enable
database administrators to gain control of their
database environments through:
– Complete visibility into the health of the environment
– Diagnostic capabilities into performance problems
– Delivering a proactive approach to fixing problems before they affect the
users
