I give the solution an eight out of ten. The solution doesn't require any maintenance, but the scripts we are automating do. Those scripts need to be updated frequently because the solution is getting updated. However, if we have set the solution up for the first time and we don't change those settings, then maintenance every three or four years should be fine. When we upgrade the tool, then our scripts need to be upgraded too. Oracle applications need automation, regardless of whether they are cloud-based or not. Oracle Forms applications need Oracle Application Testing Suite for compatibility. If our applications are only web-based and simple, Selenium is a good, free option.

This is a mature tool, it's been on the market for 11 years. With other solutions, we have to build everything from scratch, even a framework. OATS is very easy for us to install and use. I would recommend using OATS before other tools particularly if you are a test automation engineer or performance test engineer working with Oracle applications. Oracle provides full support. I rate this solution eight out of 10.

I would rate the solution as eight out of ten. My advice is that if a company doesn't have a lot of technical capability, then they need to hire someone for the setup. When you buy OATS, they also provide a product called Oracle Flow Builder as part of a bundle. They already have business flows stitched and everything. You provide your data and it will start running and doing all the testing. If you have Selenium, you need a technical team because of the reporting and inbuilt features. You need a technical person to do all the setup for the framework. If some changes are needed, it won't work. You'll need to change everything, including reporting. Selenium isn't that stable, but you need to continuously work on Selenium if you want to do testing.

I would recommend this tool as long as your company can afford the pricing. I'd advise new users to understand the flow. There are components in the Oracle Testing Suite that users need to be very familiar with. It's not just, "Click on .EXE file." They need to be aware of how this tool works. If needed, I'd advise new users spend some time going through the learning documentation and understanding the product. Don't just download and install it. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's a really good product.

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. I rate Oracle Application Testing Suite an eight out of ten.

Any organization looking to use Oracle Application Testing Suite needs to understand the kind of application they want to automate. If it's automatable, or if it's a web application, I would suggest open source tools like Selenium. If you want to use Oracle Application Testing, which has a number of features, then it can be helpful. It will record, and deal with the performance testing and load testing. I would rate the solution a six and a half out of ten.

Overall, Oracle Application Testing Suite is very easy to use and you can create a good framework for developing and testing. If the dashboard were improved then it would be perfect. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

It's really a very good tool. My advice to somebody considering this solution is to speak to the vendor, make sure to make your requirements clear and have clear answers from the vendor's side. Ask what support is available and what the scalability terms are and what features are available to integrate with CI/CD tools. The tool is very good. There's no doubt about it so. In terms of the properties or object identification media, there could be some more or better documentation, a better knowledge base or better enhancements should be available. I would rate it a seven out of ten.
