Re-inventing Oracle E-Business Suite Testing using Oracle Flow Builder

Principal Product Manager, Oracle


Current Reality

The rate of change in technology & business is accelerating

The complexity of the applications & technology stack is increasing

Implementation windows are getting shorter

IT budgets are stretched

What it means

Most IT projects are rolled out with inadequate testing

Typical Scenario


Way Out

Manual testing is expensive & error prone

Business users do not have time, IT staff lacks domain expertise

User fatigue results when users are asked to test repeatedly

Automation allows you to

Test repeatedly without fatigue

Reduce test lead time & effort

Encapsulate business knowledge

Reliably compare testing across various phases

Automation of Testing


Automation Challenges

Higher up front investment

Difficult to find technical resources for test automation

Good Automation experts who have both tool & application knowledge are

hard to find

Constant business process changes render test assets obsolete

Scripts needs to be maintained/recreated after changes to the applications

Who should own it: IT or business?

So Why Arent More People Leveraging Test Automation?


Some Myths

I do not automate testing as I dont have enough resources

I do not need to invest in testing because

Why spend all that money for something I need for just a few months

Oracle Functional Testing

Allows you to automate testing by recording user actions (flows)

The recording mimics a series of user actions on the application

The recording can be extended with verifications, can be

parameterized to for example enter different data into the application

Script may also be extended using JAVA code

Supports web, SOA and Oracle applications through dedicated

accelerators

Automation Challenges

Higher up front investment

Pre-built content helps you get started with low upfront investment

Difficult to find technical resources for test automation

Non-technical resources can also develop automated tests

Constant business process changes render test assets obsolete

Rework effort reduced due to flexibility of framework

Who should own it: IT or business?

Both business & IT users have shared ownership leveraging their areas of

strength
