Abstract
Introduc�on
About Oracle Applica�ons
The collision of technological change and rapidly emerging markets (growth) underpins the Oracle
Applica�ons. In this whitepaper Oracle Applica�on refer to both versions Oracle E-Business Suite and
Oracle Cloud Applica�ons (Fusion). Going forward, the term “Oracle Applica�on(s)” will be used for
both the applica�ons tes�ng strategy and its requirements. This paper will list the challenges business
users face while addressing the Oracle applica�on patches, upgrades, and releases and why business
organiza�ons using Oracle Applica�ons prefer automa�ng tes�ng? Resolving the tes�ng needs beyond
boundaries, how automa�on can be taken to next-genera�on and intensified using Opkey Oracle Applica�ons
accelerator. As Opkey consistently innovates to contribute automa�on tes�ng through its accelerator, the
pointers addressed in this paper will bridge the gap between the aspira�ons of the business users tes�ng
Oracle Applica�ons.
The globaliza�on tears down the geographic boundaries and market barriers, organiza�onal abili�es to
innovate and adapt to change have become a core business driver. Consequently, the so�ware market
size is es�mated to expand and grow, so does the market of the so�ware tes�ng. According to the
report12
, the global test automa�on market was valued at approximately USD 15.87 billion in 2016 and
is expected to reach approximately USD 54.98 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 23.01 % between
2017 and 2022. The key market drivers include increasing digital transforma�on ini�a�ves, the use of
DevOps and agile applica�on development methodologies, increasing automa�on tes�ng at a lower
opera�onal costs and premium quality assurance. This increased the Applica�on Programming Interface
(API) contribu�ng to the global digital economy.
Informa�on technology enabled business trends, profoundly altering the business landscape. The pace
of technological change and its adop�on since then has been applauding. At the same �me, the
technological changes are accelera�ng. Hence, as per the market research, three main areas need to
be given an a�en�on:
Oracle Applica�ons is a global level enterprise applica�on. Widely in prac�ce, with volumes of customers,
fulfilling various organiza�onal requirements of different industry ver�cals5
It provides the solu�on for the
several business applica�ons, few of them are listed below:
In order to keep customers sa�sfied, Oracle con�nuously makes considerable investments in Oracle
Applica�ons to help customers to be produc�ve in their opera�ons, providing the following exhaus�ve
services to their customers towards retaining business con�nuity:
The unpredictable undesirable effects on the business and its users mandates the so�ware quality
assurance (QA).

Therefore, tes�ng Oracle Applica�ons plays an important role. It helps to decide whether to release a
product or applica�on in the market, sustenance to the required quality and the compliance.
Oracle provides several business-cri�cal applica�ons (Finance, HR, ERP, etc.). To ensure applica�on
quality, Oracle does the following
An applica�on masquerades underlying applica�on complexi�es with an intui�ve responsive interface,
leading to challenges and compelling factors in front of the business users that can only be resolved via
catalysing tes�ng automa�on. Let's discuss few prac�cal concerns and challenges that mo�vate Oracle
E-Business suite users to embrace automa�on tes�ng1
and beyond.
Oracle Applica�ons (EBS  Fusion) consists of many major
business modules and several sub-modules, respec�vely.
This is the huge and complex applica�on next to impossible
for handling upgrades through manual tes�ng. Moreover,
execu�ng itera�ve tes�ng on a regression bed is almost next to impossible via manual tes�ng. Oracle
Applica�ons modules are highly integrated in nature and has got its own forms, official set-up of its own
forms is a daun�ng task and needs skilled exper�se (technical). Categorizing and priori�zing regression
and itera�ve tes�ng8
is again another challenge to tackle with.
Why Oracle Applica�ons need to be tested?
Challenge #1: HUGE AND COMPLEX
Opkey I ANALYSIS
Release upgrades (Op�onal on customer’s choice in case of EBS)
Feature upgrades. (In case of fusion it is mandatory  Quarterly)
One off bug fix.
Consolidated bug fixes (Consolidated patches).
Cri�cal patch updates (CPUs)
Solu�ons which increase the produc�vity
Technology upgrades
1. Frequent applica�on  infrastructure upgrades/patches in Oracle EBS
2. EBS R12 upgrades from 11i (driven by end of Premium Support for 11.5.10.2) Ongoing
patch cycles
3. Quarterly Mandatory  fixed calendar upgrade patches in Oracle Fusion
4. Integrated applica�ons built in heterogeneous technologies and with cri�cal business
flows to test
5. Handling mul�ple technologies (Web, Oracle Forms, JVMs, etc.)
6. Applica�on customiza�ons and integra�ons
''A complex business
processes can be replaced
with a business-specific
tailored system.
30–50-man month/year avg. �me spent tes�ng Oracle patch
and upgrade.
38% of organiza�ons delay EBS upgrade because of lack of
UAT bandwidth.
30% of �me get consumed in crea�ng and managing data,
during UAT cycle.
In-effec�ve  low 30-60% test coverage and regression
tes�ng during customiza�on.
Test script can be started only when SDLC of development
will get over.
In Oracle Fusion the customers face unforeseen produc�on
issues since the coverage of tes�ng is not complete due to
short release �me window and mandatory release by Oracle.
UNSTAINABLE FACTS
Ease of a single-click execu�on,
reduces �me tremendously improvising
customers' experience.

Prac�cally, it is almost impossible to deploy the upgrades2
with the frequency of its updates and
releases. Aligning pace of tes�ng with the frequency of Oracle upgrades is a daun�ng project.
Tes�ng all types of test cases in a stereotypical manner leads to ineffec�ve outcomes. To meet
effec�veness of Oracle upgrades some be�er robo�c like tes�ng methods are required that can
efficiently automate, breaking the dependency of the �ghtly coupled forms (and objects).
Crea�ng automa�on tes�ng tool on top of the
available technologies in the market is highly
its stability is going to consume good amount of
�me, cost, and other essen�al resources. Opkey
labour-intensive and tedious task. The
inculcated cost and �me is a prac�cal
challenge worth introspec�ng8
.
Moreover, even if the tool is
developed, then establishing
automa�on tes�ng can instantly be
used in that case. With well-proven
past record and experiences, Opkey
oracle Applica�ons accelerator can
be set up and used from the first
day itself without any hassle.
Further, Oracle applica�on forms are �ghtly
integrated with its own inherited technology.
There is a paucity of readily available freeware
and commercial tool in the market that can
smartly handle the Oracle Applica�ons automa�on
tes�ng requirements. Even if, someone tries
crea�ng such tes�ng framework, then not
necessarily, they are duly equipped with the
expensive Oracle Infrastructure to prac�ce its
ground-level tes�ng.
Only a couple of tools are available in the market
that can automate Oracle Applica�ons (to name
a few: OATS, UFT, QTP, Ranorex, TestComplete,
and others). However, they are highly costly and
need technical exper�se to handle, further
escala�ng costs and �me. Opkey follows a
smarter (modular) approach. In this approach,
the objects are designed as an independent
en�ty (in a form of Oracle Applica�ons,
data-driven, generic opera�on-specific smart
re-usable keywords). These components can
easily be mounted and unmounted as per the
business users’ requirements.

Next challenge is se�ng up localized data. Handling regression bed w.r.t. localized data in a mul�-country,
mul�-lingual, mul�-culture environment is a big challenge. Hence, regression tes�ng cannot be performed
through manual tes�ng (Handling tes�ng on environment-specific Oracle upgrades based on country,
currency, tax, culture, and others, respec�vely). Such challenges can ONLY be mi�gated through robo�zed
automa�on tes�ng that Opkey accelerator does.
With the changing object proper�es and forms dynamisms, oracle
applica�on users face a lot of challenges. The pre-defined form objects
are stored with its proper�es duly stored for the future object fetching
and references. However, proper�es may get changed and users
observe the change in the performance of the respec�ve ac�on. Such
unpredictable challenge creates difficulty in maintaining the integrity
and accuracy of the ac�on and other related impera�ves. Opkey with
its Memory Friendly ability smartly handles this challenge. It enables
users to handle the challenge via comparing the old, saved property
with the current (changed) object property. Using Opkey’ s poten�al
SPY feature, such change of proper�es can be trapped, compared, and
verified with the exis�ng object proper�es, calling it from the object
repository (OR). With the observed changes, (accordingly) smart decision
is taken on �me by the concern business users/managers.

Other than crea�ng and managing test data for user acceptance tes�ng, op�mize test coverage
and regression tes�ng was another challenge faced by the SMEs and managers (while deploying
customiza�ons).
The available commercial tes�ng tools in the market, generally do not support auto-switching while
playing back recoding between web-based applica�on, mobile applica�on, desktop applica�on10
, and
Oracle applica�on. So, tes�ng has to go through a split between the transforma�on points of the
applica�on environment change. Business users were looking for a SINGLE-FLOW recording embedded
methodology that can do auto-switching between such environment changes. Opkey’s smart Oracle
applica�on recorder automates the en�re test recording at one go (recording in a single-flow), making it
convenient for the business users. It easily switches and transforms between desktop, mobile, web-based
applica�ons (users barely realizes transforma�on, as it is being managed internally in a Single Flow by
Opkey).
Usually, business users face the constraint of limited object covered in a test case. In the dynamic object
environment, to bypass such constraint and design, customize (object coverage) test case is a real challenge.
Opkey's smart SPY feature handle this challenge intelligently3
by providing this flexibility to the user,
allowing them to select and de-select objects as per the users' test requirements
The business components are not user-friendly, its modifica�on needs a technical exper�se. The SME,
Business Analysts, func�onal managers have to depend on the tes�ng team exper�se for patch/bug/
new release and other updates. While planning for Patches and upgrades, the biggest concern was
provisioning those expert’s �me. Gradually it became difficult to use and maintain. The test automa�on
Opkey accelerator is highly user-friendly and easy-to-use. A bliss for the non-technical users, Opkey is
purposely designed keeping such factors in mind. Hence, with Opkey any non-technical or novice user
can easily operate and run the related test case with ease.

Opkey accelerator is a business enabler. It is a script-less/Zero automa�on tes�ng framework. Let's see
how these challenges can be handled efficiently through Opkey Accelerator.
Opkey balances the cost and risk of defects across the overall costs and tes�ng dura�on. The objec�ve
is to maximize the value from the executed tes�ng, minimizing the tes�ng effort, and dura�on up to an
acceptable level of risk. Hence, Opkey test automa�on introspects 3Ws (namely WHY, WHAT and
WHEN factors) customized feasibility study:
Intelligently designed, Opkey iden�fies the category of the pla�orm through its intui�vely designed
keywords, providing following implicit poten�als:
Poten�al #1: Opkey is smart in handling offline automa�on tes�ng, where tes�ng automa�on can be
started at Day-Zero. This efficiently manages the upgrade/patch �me, tremendously saving the business
people �me, reducing total cost of the opera�ons9
and maximizing ROI.
Poten�al #2: Highly cost effec�ve. Compara�vely, Opkey’ s automa�on tes�ng is very economical
embedding competent tes�ng automa�on capabili�es. It saves not only a training cost but also the
cost of hiring the tes�ng expert.
Poten�al #3: Highly modular re-usable business components (KEYWORDS). Business users can re-use
the business components in other related cases, as Opkey house the hierarchy of the object proper�es
intelligently in the object repository. Each property can be iden�fied and fetched6
, allowed to be
re-used in another test- cases. This saves �me, cost, and effort, enabling test automa�on efficiency

Exhibit #1.1: Adding Element Objects into Object Repository for Future use (Time Saving)
Assume, the business user using Approve Bu�on, now. However, user may require other (remaining)
bu�on (ac�ons) or elements in the future. So, for now user can add objects of those elements using
SPY Tool and can make use of them later as per the requirements.
All you need to do just press control bu�on and navigate over the required element and click on Add
Object of Spy Tool.
You will observe that new object with name 'Shipment Bu�on' gets added at the Object Repository
[Ref. Exhibit 12].
Poten�al #4: Efficient record-play engine with SPY (ing) property as seen above, the SPY is a modular
approach to tes�ng where the user can easily mount and unmounts the object. Even the non-technical
users can easily handle these controls and perform modifica�ons, efficiently. Further, the business
organiza�on can easily observe and resolve the change in the ac�on proper�es using SPY feature of
Opkey. Intui�vely, Opkey is able to recognize the changed proper�es4
, observing the change in the
behaviour of the ac�ons performed on the objects. Accordingly, the object can be filtered and handled
to meet the tes�ng requirements.

re-adding it and hence saving memory.
Previous shown proper�es for ''Approve button, say are as follow (as shown in the Object Repository)
However, at another instance this ac�on found changed (due to any reason), in such scenarios user can
verify these altera�ons in the object (ac�on) proper�es, simply pressing Ctrl bu�on and hovering
mouse over the respec�ve component using SPY tool as follows: [Ref.Exhibit 3].
Shown above is a default opening of a Opkey Smart Recorder

In the above snapshot, [Ref.Exhibit #4] observe that while selec�ng 'SPY' Op�on no proper�es of (any)
elements are displayed at the beginning, as nothing has been done �ll now.
Let's observe and verify (if any) change happened in the Approve bu�on proper�es: [Ref.Exhibit #5]
Note the changes in the said proper�es. The user can verify the change with the Opkey smart recorder
/spy tool under Proper�es Tab.
Poten�al #5: User-friendly, convenient and can be easily adapted. The func�onal managers, business
analysts, and other concern users can easily understand and operate. Hence, no extra technical skill is
required, saving a training cost. Even a general user can conveniently handle the required tes�ng skills6
for instance, while performing playback, the opera�on in run (ac�on/object) gets highlighted
promp�ng the status of the running ac�on [Ref.Exhibit #6].

Poten�al #6: Timesaving, as tes�ng can run parallel to the development of the applica�on modules,
Opkey test automa�on accelerates the tes�ng.
Poten�al #7: Easy Maintenance, update test scripts incorpora�ng altera�ons to Oracle EBS, leveraging
reusable business components, aligning test data, and handling errors/excep�ons.
Opkey provides smarter automa�on tes�ng solu�on with secure valida�ons, ease of use, and completeness,
such that the business users can enjoy instant data access. Providing compelling experiences across
automa�on tes�ng, Opkey’s next giant leap provision accelerator11
with an intelligent automa�on
poten�al like augmen�ng object property based on prompt-name, fetching object independent of
constantly changing object locator's proper�es. The func�onal flow diagram of Opkey’s Oracle applica�on
accelerator is depicted in Exhibit #8.
Opkey Oracle automation accelerates the entire
upgrade/release process of Oracle Applications
be it EBS or Fusion. It's a smarter way (as depicted
in Exhibit #7) to transform the manual testing and
effective decision-making through automation
testing, customization, and accelerator. Based on
our customer's past experience, it has been
observed that all those business organizations
who adopted from manual testing to OpKey’ s
test automation are able to reap the results
faster. Further, the industry vertical who is
subscribed to Opkey accelerator have successfully
coped with the business needs as a new normal
and able to retain the business continuity

Let's have a glance at few more Opkey unparalleled poten�al features of automa�on tes�ng:
Auto-Switching: The pla�orm-driven keywords are intui�vely designed to sense the pla�orm and auto
-switch accordingly. For instance, the Keyword Win_ClickOnText can easily capture the Window
handle recognizing the technology and iden�fying the control on which it has to work.
Execution Synch: Every object wait is handled internally via Opkey, instead of handling explicit wait
leading to effec�ve �me-saving automa�on tes�ng9
Object Identification: The dynamic proper�es of the object present on oracle forms are trapped via
shi�ing the locus of proper�es. The object proper�es are fetched based on Prompt Name - Light
weighted property) unlike tradi�onal way of trapping xpath, id, class, CSS, etc. This ensures rapid
object fetching, without ge�ng affected by frequent change.
Most business organiza�ons do not automate User Acceptance Tes�ng, involving high dependency on
visual UI elements. Opkey resolves such problem with its poten�al automa�on tes�ng capabili�es.
OpKey’s automa�on test designs, workflow management and process orchestra�on reduce test efforts
by 60%. The poten�als like automa�c orchestra�on of business processes, auto-capturing of test
outcomes, test scripts auto-crea�on and customized func�onal tes�ng incorporates customer-proven
accelerated test automa�on.
Self Healing Test scripts Oracle Fusion comes with regular quarterly updates. The updates involve
changes in the exis�ng func�onali�es and also addi�on of new func�onali�es. Customers find it
difficult to test the en�re length of the applica�on within the span of 2 weeks. Opkey with its feature
of Self healing can analyse the impact on the exis�ng test cases due to the changes by the upgrade and
automa�cally modify the scripts based on the new release with minimum or nil of manual interven�on.
Security Role Validation One of the most important  cumbersome SOX compliance requirements is
the segrega�on of du�es. The customers find it very difficult to understand the changes that happens
in the standard roles during any patch applica�on or upgrades. Opkey provides the differences
between Func�on/Data Security policies across all of applica�ons Seeded/Custom Roles.
Change Impact Analysis for Configurations One of the challenges that is faced by the Oracle applica�on
customer is to understand the changes in configura�on between instances. Opkey has the feature of
“Change Impact Analysis” which showcase changes located between configura�ons on 2 different
instances. Also, automa�cally making located changes to the pre-built test scripts as well using the
‘Self-Healing Engine.

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 1 Abstract Introduc�on About Oracle Applica�ons Thecollision of technological change and rapidly emerging markets (growth) underpins the Oracle Applica�ons. In this whitepaper Oracle Applica�on refer to both versions Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Cloud Applica�ons (Fusion). Going forward, the term “Oracle Applica�on(s)” will be used for both the applica�ons tes�ng strategy and its requirements. This paper will list the challenges business users face while addressing the Oracle applica�on patches, upgrades, and releases and why business organiza�ons using Oracle Applica�ons prefer automa�ng tes�ng? Resolving the tes�ng needs beyond boundaries, how automa�on can be taken to next-genera�on and intensified using Opkey Oracle Applica�ons accelerator. As Opkey consistently innovates to contribute automa�on tes�ng through its accelerator, the pointers addressed in this paper will bridge the gap between the aspira�ons of the business users tes�ng Oracle Applica�ons. The globaliza�on tears down the geographic boundaries and market barriers, organiza�onal abili�es to innovate and adapt to change have become a core business driver. Consequently, the so�ware market size is es�mated to expand and grow, so does the market of the so�ware tes�ng. According to the report12 , the global test automa�on market was valued at approximately USD 15.87 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach approximately USD 54.98 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 23.01 % between 2017 and 2022. The key market drivers include increasing digital transforma�on ini�a�ves, the use of DevOps and agile applica�on development methodologies, increasing automa�on tes�ng at a lower opera�onal costs and premium quality assurance. This increased the Applica�on Programming Interface (API) contribu�ng to the global digital economy. Informa�on technology enabled business trends, profoundly altering the business landscape. The pace of technological change and its adop�on since then has been applauding. At the same �me, the technological changes are accelera�ng. Hence, as per the market research, three main areas need to be given an a�en�on: Oracle Applica�ons is a global level enterprise applica�on. Widely in prac�ce, with volumes of customers, fulfilling various organiza�onal requirements of different industry ver�cals5 It provides the solu�on for the several business applica�ons, few of them are listed below: In order to keep customers sa�sfied, Oracle con�nuously makes considerable investments in Oracle Applica�ons to help customers to be produc�ve in their opera�ons, providing the following exhaus�ve services to their customers towards retaining business con�nuity: The unpredictable undesirable effects on the business and its users mandates the so�ware quality assurance (QA). 1. Return on Investment (ROI) of test automa�on tools 2. Adop�on of test (business) process improvement models and 3. Tes�ng services enhancements Oracle Financials. Oracle Supply chain management (SCM). Oracle Customer rela�onship management (CRM). Oracle Human capital management (HCM). Oracle Procurement. Oracle Projects. Oracle Lease and Finance Management.

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 2 Therefore, tes�ng OracleApplica�ons plays an important role. It helps to decide whether to release a product or applica�on in the market, sustenance to the required quality and the compliance. Oracle provides several business-cri�cal applica�ons (Finance, HR, ERP, etc.). To ensure applica�on quality, Oracle does the following An applica�on masquerades underlying applica�on complexi�es with an intui�ve responsive interface, leading to challenges and compelling factors in front of the business users that can only be resolved via catalysing tes�ng automa�on. Let's discuss few prac�cal concerns and challenges that mo�vate Oracle E-Business suite users to embrace automa�on tes�ng1 and beyond. Oracle Applica�ons (EBS Fusion) consists of many major business modules and several sub-modules, respec�vely. This is the huge and complex applica�on next to impossible for handling upgrades through manual tes�ng. Moreover, execu�ng itera�ve tes�ng on a regression bed is almost next to impossible via manual tes�ng. Oracle Applica�ons modules are highly integrated in nature and has got its own forms, official set-up of its own forms is a daun�ng task and needs skilled exper�se (technical). Categorizing and priori�zing regression and itera�ve tes�ng8 is again another challenge to tackle with. Why Oracle Applica�ons need to be tested? Challenge #1: HUGE AND COMPLEX Opkey I ANALYSIS Release upgrades (Op�onal on customer’s choice in case of EBS) Feature upgrades. (In case of fusion it is mandatory Quarterly) One off bug fix. Consolidated bug fixes (Consolidated patches). Cri�cal patch updates (CPUs) Solu�ons which increase the produc�vity Technology upgrades 1. Frequent applica�on infrastructure upgrades/patches in Oracle EBS 2. EBS R12 upgrades from 11i (driven by end of Premium Support for 11.5.10.2) Ongoing patch cycles 3. Quarterly Mandatory fixed calendar upgrade patches in Oracle Fusion 4. Integrated applica�ons built in heterogeneous technologies and with cri�cal business flows to test 5. Handling mul�ple technologies (Web, Oracle Forms, JVMs, etc.) 6. Applica�on customiza�ons and integra�ons ''A complex business processes can be replaced with a business-specific tailored system. 30–50-man month/year avg. �me spent tes�ng Oracle patch and upgrade. 38% of organiza�ons delay EBS upgrade because of lack of UAT bandwidth. 30% of �me get consumed in crea�ng and managing data, during UAT cycle. In-effec�ve low 30-60% test coverage and regression tes�ng during customiza�on. Test script can be started only when SDLC of development will get over. In Oracle Fusion the customers face unforeseen produc�on issues since the coverage of tes�ng is not complete due to short release �me window and mandatory release by Oracle. UNSTAINABLE FACTS Ease of a single-click execu�on, reduces �me tremendously improvising customers' experience.

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 3 Prac�cally, it isalmost impossible to deploy the upgrades2 with the frequency of its updates and releases. Aligning pace of tes�ng with the frequency of Oracle upgrades is a daun�ng project. Tes�ng all types of test cases in a stereotypical manner leads to ineffec�ve outcomes. To meet effec�veness of Oracle upgrades some be�er robo�c like tes�ng methods are required that can efficiently automate, breaking the dependency of the �ghtly coupled forms (and objects). Crea�ng automa�on tes�ng tool on top of the available technologies in the market is highly its stability is going to consume good amount of �me, cost, and other essen�al resources. Opkey labour-intensive and tedious task. The inculcated cost and �me is a prac�cal challenge worth introspec�ng8 . Moreover, even if the tool is developed, then establishing automa�on tes�ng can instantly be used in that case. With well-proven past record and experiences, Opkey oracle Applica�ons accelerator can be set up and used from the first day itself without any hassle. Further, Oracle applica�on forms are �ghtly integrated with its own inherited technology. There is a paucity of readily available freeware and commercial tool in the market that can smartly handle the Oracle Applica�ons automa�on tes�ng requirements. Even if, someone tries crea�ng such tes�ng framework, then not necessarily, they are duly equipped with the expensive Oracle Infrastructure to prac�ce its ground-level tes�ng. Only a couple of tools are available in the market that can automate Oracle Applica�ons (to name a few: OATS, UFT, QTP, Ranorex, TestComplete, and others). However, they are highly costly and need technical exper�se to handle, further escala�ng costs and �me. Opkey follows a smarter (modular) approach. In this approach, the objects are designed as an independent en�ty (in a form of Oracle Applica�ons, data-driven, generic opera�on-specific smart re-usable keywords). These components can easily be mounted and unmounted as per the business users’ requirements. Challenge #2: TIGHTLY INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY Challenge #3: STABILITY FACTOR Opkey TARGETS Repe��ve, Mundane and Tedious Tasks Decision-based workflows Mass Email Genera�on, Archiving Extrac�ng Periodic Repor�ng, Data Entry and Data Analysis Conversion of Data Formats Graphics of ERP Transac�ons Process Lists File Storages Form-filling, Invoicing Mul�-applica�on Switching Opkey’s KEY Highlights Mul�-tool execu�on Mobile test automa�on support Business process tes�ng support Collabora�on and enterprise features Integra�on with CI tools Commercial like features with open source Integrated data management Integra�on with ALM, JIRA, and HP Integra�on with cloud Support Gherkin Unwavering customer support PROFIT-ABILITY NO or Minimum setup NO Technical Challenge NO Maintenance Overhead Highly Cost-Effec�ve

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 4 Next challenge isse�ng up localized data. Handling regression bed w.r.t. localized data in a mul�-country, mul�-lingual, mul�-culture environment is a big challenge. Hence, regression tes�ng cannot be performed through manual tes�ng (Handling tes�ng on environment-specific Oracle upgrades based on country, currency, tax, culture, and others, respec�vely). Such challenges can ONLY be mi�gated through robo�zed automa�on tes�ng that Opkey accelerator does. With the changing object proper�es and forms dynamisms, oracle applica�on users face a lot of challenges. The pre-defined form objects are stored with its proper�es duly stored for the future object fetching and references. However, proper�es may get changed and users observe the change in the performance of the respec�ve ac�on. Such unpredictable challenge creates difficulty in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the ac�on and other related impera�ves. Opkey with its Memory Friendly ability smartly handles this challenge. It enables users to handle the challenge via comparing the old, saved property with the current (changed) object property. Using Opkey’ s poten�al SPY feature, such change of proper�es can be trapped, compared, and verified with the exis�ng object proper�es, calling it from the object repository (OR). With the observed changes, (accordingly) smart decision is taken on �me by the concern business users/managers. Challenge #4: TEST LOCALIZATION Challenges #5: FETCHING OBJECT PROPERTY Opkey can be deployed on Enhance level of agility Increase efficiency, security and compliance Reduc�on in test crea�on �me by 80% Job scheduling Focus on tes�ng scripts not in script crea�on Maximum test coverage Automate repetitive tasks and complex processes Periodic reporting and data entry Mass email generation/archiving/extracting Authen�cate valida�on Managed file transfer Enhance scalability Enhance management abili�es High degree of flexibility Sa�sfying customer experience KEY BENEFITS * SMART HACKS * For successful test automation (TA) Strategize a test plan Start small and build out Focus on maintenance

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 5 Other than crea�ngand managing test data for user acceptance tes�ng, op�mize test coverage and regression tes�ng was another challenge faced by the SMEs and managers (while deploying customiza�ons). The available commercial tes�ng tools in the market, generally do not support auto-switching while playing back recoding between web-based applica�on, mobile applica�on, desktop applica�on10 , and Oracle applica�on. So, tes�ng has to go through a split between the transforma�on points of the applica�on environment change. Business users were looking for a SINGLE-FLOW recording embedded methodology that can do auto-switching between such environment changes. Opkey’s smart Oracle applica�on recorder automates the en�re test recording at one go (recording in a single-flow), making it convenient for the business users. It easily switches and transforms between desktop, mobile, web-based applica�ons (users barely realizes transforma�on, as it is being managed internally in a Single Flow by Opkey). Usually, business users face the constraint of limited object covered in a test case. In the dynamic object environment, to bypass such constraint and design, customize (object coverage) test case is a real challenge. Opkey's smart SPY feature handle this challenge intelligently3 by providing this flexibility to the user, allowing them to select and de-select objects as per the users' test requirements The business components are not user-friendly, its modifica�on needs a technical exper�se. The SME, Business Analysts, func�onal managers have to depend on the tes�ng team exper�se for patch/bug/ new release and other updates. While planning for Patches and upgrades, the biggest concern was provisioning those expert’s �me. Gradually it became difficult to use and maintain. The test automa�on Opkey accelerator is highly user-friendly and easy-to-use. A bliss for the non-technical users, Opkey is purposely designed keeping such factors in mind. Hence, with Opkey any non-technical or novice user can easily operate and run the related test case with ease.

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 7 Exhibit #1.1: AddingElement Objects into Object Repository for Future use (Time Saving) Assume, the business user using Approve Bu�on, now. However, user may require other (remaining) bu�on (ac�ons) or elements in the future. So, for now user can add objects of those elements using SPY Tool and can make use of them later as per the requirements. All you need to do just press control bu�on and navigate over the required element and click on Add Object of Spy Tool. You will observe that new object with name 'Shipment Bu�on' gets added at the Object Repository [Ref. Exhibit 12]. Poten�al #4: Efficient record-play engine with SPY (ing) property as seen above, the SPY is a modular approach to tes�ng where the user can easily mount and unmounts the object. Even the non-technical users can easily handle these controls and perform modifica�ons, efficiently. Further, the business organiza�on can easily observe and resolve the change in the ac�on proper�es using SPY feature of Opkey. Intui�vely, Opkey is able to recognize the changed proper�es4 , observing the change in the behaviour of the ac�ons performed on the objects. Accordingly, the object can be filtered and handled to meet the tes�ng requirements. Exhibit 2.1 Exhibit 1.2

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 10 Poten�al #6: Timesaving,as tes�ng can run parallel to the development of the applica�on modules, Opkey test automa�on accelerates the tes�ng. Poten�al #7: Easy Maintenance, update test scripts incorpora�ng altera�ons to Oracle EBS, leveraging reusable business components, aligning test data, and handling errors/excep�ons. Opkey provides smarter automa�on tes�ng solu�on with secure valida�ons, ease of use, and completeness, such that the business users can enjoy instant data access. Providing compelling experiences across automa�on tes�ng, Opkey’s next giant leap provision accelerator11 with an intelligent automa�on poten�al like augmen�ng object property based on prompt-name, fetching object independent of constantly changing object locator's proper�es. The func�onal flow diagram of Opkey’s Oracle applica�on accelerator is depicted in Exhibit #8. Opkey Oracle automation accelerates the entire upgrade/release process of Oracle Applications be it EBS or Fusion. It's a smarter way (as depicted in Exhibit #7) to transform the manual testing and effective decision-making through automation testing, customization, and accelerator. Based on our customer's past experience, it has been observed that all those business organizations who adopted from manual testing to OpKey’ s test automation are able to reap the results faster. Further, the industry vertical who is subscribed to Opkey accelerator have successfully coped with the business needs as a new normal and able to retain the business continuity [Watch Video #1].

    WHITEPAPER www.pathinfotech.com/opkey/ 11 Let's have aglance at few more Opkey unparalleled poten�al features of automa�on tes�ng: Auto-Switching: The pla�orm-driven keywords are intui�vely designed to sense the pla�orm and auto -switch accordingly. For instance, the Keyword Win_ClickOnText can easily capture the Window handle recognizing the technology and iden�fying the control on which it has to work. Execution Synch: Every object wait is handled internally via Opkey, instead of handling explicit wait leading to effec�ve �me-saving automa�on tes�ng9 Object Identification: The dynamic proper�es of the object present on oracle forms are trapped via shi�ing the locus of proper�es. The object proper�es are fetched based on Prompt Name - Light weighted property) unlike tradi�onal way of trapping xpath, id, class, CSS, etc. This ensures rapid object fetching, without ge�ng affected by frequent change. Most business organiza�ons do not automate User Acceptance Tes�ng, involving high dependency on visual UI elements. Opkey resolves such problem with its poten�al automa�on tes�ng capabili�es. OpKey’s automa�on test designs, workflow management and process orchestra�on reduce test efforts by 60%. The poten�als like automa�c orchestra�on of business processes, auto-capturing of test outcomes, test scripts auto-crea�on and customized func�onal tes�ng incorporates customer-proven accelerated test automa�on. Self Healing Test scripts Oracle Fusion comes with regular quarterly updates. The updates involve changes in the exis�ng func�onali�es and also addi�on of new func�onali�es. Customers find it difficult to test the en�re length of the applica�on within the span of 2 weeks. Opkey with its feature of Self healing can analyse the impact on the exis�ng test cases due to the changes by the upgrade and automa�cally modify the scripts based on the new release with minimum or nil of manual interven�on. Security Role Validation One of the most important cumbersome SOX compliance requirements is the segrega�on of du�es. The customers find it very difficult to understand the changes that happens in the standard roles during any patch applica�on or upgrades. Opkey provides the differences between Func�on/Data Security policies across all of applica�ons Seeded/Custom Roles. Change Impact Analysis for Configurations One of the challenges that is faced by the Oracle applica�on customer is to understand the changes in configura�on between instances. Opkey has the feature of “Change Impact Analysis” which showcase changes located between configura�ons on 2 different instances. Also, automa�cally making located changes to the pre-built test scripts as well using the ‘Self-Healing Engine. Opkey I INSIDE STORY What Else?
