Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 6, 2025

Akamai CloudTest and Oracle Application Testing Suite compete in performance and load testing applications. Akamai appears to have the upper hand in pricing flexibility and support options, while Oracle offers a broader feature set that suits enterprises using Oracle products.

Features: Akamai CloudTest is known for scalability, real-time analytics, and effective web application stress testing. Oracle Application Testing Suite provides comprehensive tools for functional, regression, and load testing, alongside application lifecycle management, making it a robust solution for complex testing environments.

Room for Improvement: Akamai CloudTest could enhance its offering with more extensive integration capabilities and reporting features. Its user interface could also be more intuitive. Oracle Application Testing Suite might improve with quicker deployment options and more competitive pricing. Additionally, enhanced support for non-Oracle environments could broaden its appeal.

Is user-friendly and offers live monitoring

Extending the same cloud tool to make it app native so that it can help with device performance testing towards HTTP requests and responses. If you can have a front-end tool like Google's Core Web Vitals, it would be great. If you have some integration with Google's Core Web Vitals, it would be great. I want the tool to have IP spoofing because whenever you do load testing, you will have a little bit of static IP based on a particular load generator. If we have an option of just making the real-time scenario, like having IP spoofing, and the range of IPs dynamically gets changed with the request just to mimic the real-time user behavior, then it would be a good improvement. Having integration to APM tools, like Dynatrace or AppDynamics, the way we have in the load tools, would be good.

Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy

Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool is very user-friendly, so you can save a lot of time in terms of your preparation activities."

"The level of support is quite good and the integration is also very flexible."

"From my own experience, if you're talking about load testing and performance testing then definitely you should go for CloudTest. Because when we compared CloudTest with Performance Center, cost wise it was a better solution. It is easy to use as well, and you can definitely get an automation engineer or a performance engineer with very little exposure to any programming or scripting language such as JavaScript. I would definitely recommend this solution and would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten."

"The solution is very stable."

"This is an awesome performance testing tool for web based applications, able to generate load multiple geographies, dynamic ramp-up to any levels of virtual users."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."

"The function test feature is valuable."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

Cons

"In terms of improvement, I think integration of these tools with the leading EPM tools would be good. It would help to seamlessly integrate to Dynatrace or AppDynamics to understand what the profiling looks like when generating a load."

"It's a manual process to whitelist respective internal IPs in coordination with web operations team to access Soasta. Availability of any standardized tool from Soasta will make setup process easy."

"The test clip should be more user-friendly."

"Akamai cloud test integration into our current CI/CD pipelines (i.e.) identify and resolve the issues during the sprint phase which helps in delivering an absolute product and reduces time to market/release."

"If we have an option of just making the real-time scenario, like having IP spoofing, and the range of IPs dynamically gets changed with the request just to mimic the real-time user behavior, then it would be a good improvement."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"I would like to see better dashboards."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is at an intermediate level. When you compare it with other enterprise load testing tools, it falls under the average category."

"We have a yearly license, and I would give it a rating of three out of five."

"Running cost is very low."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
