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.

Experience effective testing with flexible licensing alongside pivotal insights on essential improvements

For non-functional testing, I focus on performance and security. For performance and security tests, I used REST API, SoapUI, and JMeter. These tools help us conduct thorough testing across these dimensions. I find ReadyAPI helpful especially in overcoming security issues, as we experienced slowness in the application after merging our JAR files. For instance, if a person wants to access a university database and encounters a timeout error, we learned through ReadyAPI that the issue was due to HTML protocol limits with the payload. We fine-tuned this process to display the expected data effectively. I consider ReadyAPI a cost-effective solution because it covers three verticals without needing to purchase separate tools for security, performance, or functional testing. ReadyAPI is a versatile tool for creating multiple testing frameworks and validating various parameters seamlessly. REST API is the tool I use to test all three types of articles, meaning I validate the APIs I send to my peers or clients for functional testing, and I also perform security testing to ensure the URL and data passed through multiple components adhere to policies and user privileges. This is done through functional security testing using the REST API tool, and for performance, I ensure that applications can be accessed simultaneously by multiple users without hindrance or slowness through thorough performance testing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helped in running performance testing cycles and identifying the bottlenecks of the application, helping our clients to run their application successfully and smoothly."

"Has good automation and load-testing capabilities."

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

"The function test feature is valuable."

"My advice to others is if they are using any Oracle Cloud Fusion-based or on-premise-based application, this is a good solution to use."

"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."

"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"The main advantage is that it could be integrated into different CI/CD tools, and that is something that is really valuable and helpful."

"This solution is very intuitive; once you finish your first few testing cases, you can change several parameters and create lots of testing cases, and you can use the same testing cases for different purposes such as automation, performance, and screen testing."

"The initial setup of ReadyAPI is straightforward."

"The most valuable features of ReadyAPI are its robust functionality and collaboration capabilities."

"My advice is that based on the flexibility of the application, the ease of use, and the price, it's definitely worth it."

"The feature I find valuable is project management, as it allows us to organize our test cases and suites inside the project and store variables as properties so they can be used across test cases and test suites at the project, test suite, or test case level."

"ReadyAPI is pretty straightforward and offers many helpful features, and many things automatically get integrated into it so it is quite a useful tool."

"ReadyAPI enhances my workflows by allowing us to use Docker containers based on the ReadyAPI test runner."

Cons

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

"OATS has some promising features that frankly we wish we could utilize, but so far we haven’t had much luck doing so."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

"Transaction handling was very simple and I’d say quite primitive."

"Room for improvement would be for the reporting features. If they could improve the dashboards, that would be helpful."

"Licensing policies could be more intuitive."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"WebForms works fine, but scripting in the EBS forms option isn't very consistent and stable."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"The content on ReadyAPI in SmartBear Academy is outdated."

"There is room for improvement in ReadyAPI, particularly in the user interface."

"Lacking flexibility of adding more custom verification for security testing."

"Areas for improvement include the security files, endpoints, and process sessions."

"We have an older version of ReadyAPI and it's not supporting our whole tests, so we have had to migrate some or we've had difficulties running them because they're very old script."

"ReadyAPI's customer support isn't that great, particularly their response time."

"It doesn't have connectors to the NoSQL database. This is one of the things where they do not have a very solid strategy today. Other solutions have an in-built mechanism where I can directly and easily connect. An API is more around a user submitting a request on the frontend. It then hits the backend, puts the data, and responds back. If I am hitting MongoDB or NoSQL databases, I do not have ready-made inbuilt solutions in ReadyAPI that can easily help me in automating it faster. In our organization, we deal with NoSQL databases, and therefore, we need Groovy. We just cannot have a connector from ReadyAPI to do that. I have to write Groovy scripts. If you have themes that are predominantly using MongoDB, it leads to more maintenance and support activity because we are introducing more code into our commission. In terms of additional features, it can have cloud support. This is one of the things where we are getting into cloud support. We'll see how it works, but it is one of the doubts that we still have."

"The initial setup could be less complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

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

"It is expensive. Each user needs to be licensed, and there are different licenses within the product. It starts with 750 euros for a single user per year, but for the full product features, you need to pay a lot more. There are three versions. This cost is for functional testing, and then there is a cost for load testing and virtual services. If you want to use these areas with the functional test license, you are limited. You hit some limits in these functions. If you have all three licenses, then you have full functionality for the API."

"The cost of a license is probably around $1,000 to $2,000. Accounting is done by my leadership. I am more into implementations and making sure all things and processes are taken care of and the frameworks are maintained and managed."

"The price was around $6,000 for one license, but I don't remember exactly. It is definitely expensive. Our organization was planning on having multiple licenses for this year."

"The pricing is very competitive."

"The thing with ReadyAPI is that you have to buy different licenses for different purposes."

"The solution is dynamically priced so you only pay for what you use."

"There are costs in addition to the licensing fee. For example, if you want to add the load testing you would pay more."

"If I remember correctly, ReadyAPI costs between $5,000 to $7,000 for five thousand virtual users running it at a given point in time. Other tools, for example, Apache JMeter, can run millions of users at a given time. ReadyAPI is a tool that requires you to pay more money if you want more users to run it for performance testing. For functional testing, each ReadyAPI license costs $1,000, and you do get basic testing, and it's inclusive of one hundred users. In my company, if there's a need for more than one hundred users, my team uses Apache JMeter because it's futile to end up paying $5,000 or $6,000 annually just for performance testing, which can be done in Apache JMeter as well. Given the circumstances, my team does performance testing only towards the end of the fiscal year when the regulatory testing of applications takes place. If I have to run ReadyAPI just for two days or just for ten or fifteen odd days, then it's not worth paying $5,000 for the license with the small number of users provided by ReadyAPI."
