OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback. For example, with Selenium, we used to have to inspect the path we needed to identify, but with OpenScript, we just click a button to record all our clicks, and it generates Java code automatically. When updates to the code are needed, we can do it manually using Java code. The best feature of this solution, compared to others, is that we do not need to worry about our test cases being executed in front of us. Even if we are sleeping or away from our computer, the solution will still run the tests and provide us with the results in the morning.

We had an issue where the image-based automation was not there. It was gone. Then after the review I gave and the coming releases, Oracle included that image-based automation as well. Oracle listens to its customers.

The most valuable feature is the object identification feature, the recording feature is the prime feature that open script has. I also like the connectivity with Oracle Forms, it is very compatible.

Application Testing Suite has a good interface with the Oracle application because of its accelerator libraries. There are three aspects of the tool; test management, automation, and performance. I've been working with this tool since the initial version came out and it has both automation and load-testing capabilities. Not many tools in the market have that capability, including LoadRunner or UFT. Having the two different kinds of nonfunctional testing happening in the same product is excellent and something that's not available elsewhere. OATS has good interconnectivity with Oracle applications. All of these can be automated using OATS because they share the same protocol. The solution has good accelerant libraries. I believe it's the best tool in the market and the only one that handles Oracle Forms.

We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.

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. There's also Oracle Test Manager, which helps you maintain all of your test cases and requirements. It's a management tool for testing activities and development activities.

With Selenium, you have to use another tool for management, another tool for reporting, and another tool for load testing. OATS has everything. When you run a script, you get a report that shows that the test passed, and you don't need to build a framework for that. It's easy to use because they have already implemented all these things inside this suite. You don't need a lot of technical knowledge for this. 

In Selenium or any free tool on the market, you have to do a lot of setups and need to be a technical expert to use the tool.

The Oracle Application Testing Suite comes with different items. Open Script is there. So is OTM, Oracle Testing Manager, and Oracle Application Administrator. There is a flow builder as well. Everything we need is here. 

The solution is scalable. 

It's stable and reliable.

Technical support is helpful. 

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

One feature that I find valuable and very useful is the ability to use a different version of the database for the repository other than the Oracle Lite DB that it comes with by default. This means you can make your database repository fully redundant and infinitely scalable.

Automation with recorded scripting: This is a nice feature, which allows customized testing scenarios to be created and edited depending on the testing needs at the time.

Openscript and Oracle Load Testing (OLT) as I worked on performance testing with this tool.

• Recording and playback
• Load testing 

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

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 features as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good.

It has a very good inbuilt reporting system.

1. Java as native supported language.
2. User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.
3. The initial kick of time of a functional test automation script is lesser than other popular tools like QTP. But not as quick as selenium :). But selenium supports of automation of only web applications.
4. Stable enough for Oracle EBS Applications and other products of Oracle, there are some components which are not recognized by other test automation products but are recognized by OATS ( Oracle Application Testing Suite )

Test Manager “TESTS”

The best feature of this and Load Test is simplicity. They are probably not as functional as the corresponding HP products, but you can start using them immediately after installation. Script development platform is based on Eclipse IDE and was much better and stable than LoadRunner VUGen 11.5 and earlier versions.

Load Test has perfect monitoring features. It fully supports JMX (we were able to monitor WebLogic internals in a couple of clicks), modern SNMP versions, flexible custom metrics, etc. We didn’t have any problems with collecting data we wanted from Windows, Linux, Solaris machines, and that’s really great. I can’t compare it with HP SiteScope (don’t have much experience with it), but it definitely beats standalone HP LoadRunner facilities.

I also liked the web interface of the Load Test controller. It supports remote test execution and provides quite convenient API. You don’t have to use separate solution as Performance Center or LoadRunner Analysis to create test reports and provide remote access to your test artifacts.

Robustness of Oracle Application Testing Suite to manage end-to-end testing of projects, especially in Oracle ERP implementation projects.

Oracle Application Testing Suite is very good for managing testing through Oracle Test Manager (OTM), automating test cases with Oracle Functional Test (OFT) and conducting performance testing in Oracle Load Test (OLT).

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

Apart from the dashboard, the interface is user-friendly.

OpenScript and several objects that can be used in scripting. Option to Iterate over scripts is good. It allows you to run the same script for different instances. The report that is generated is quite detailed and useful, only becomes too big (MB's) when running several scripts.

This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways. It has lots of features which are bundled together in a single package (e.g. OTM, OFT). We can use the same automated test script for functional testing. Lots of features are there in it. Best tool for automation on Siebel Object.

We were using OATS as part of an Oracle-EBS Implementation project in Middle East for an Oil Field Service Company.

We also used OATS in Automation and Functional/Performance testing for HRMS, Financial, Projects, and SCM modules

The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application. The Functional testing module called Open script is especially very useful in Automation Testing of any web-based application or Oracle Project.

It's user friendly and in-built API support makes it very easy to automate or develop an automation framework.

The most valuable feature is that you can play back to do the function test.
