Pros
"The solution is scalable.""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""Has good automation and load-testing capabilities.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.""We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing.
