Oracle Cloud/Fusion Applications Testing Challenges
- Quarterly Cloud/Fusion Application releases by Oracle require upgrading and regression testing at least 4 times/year
- New functionalities and features in each release requirefunctional and technical analysis for each Cloud/Fusion Application release to understand impact on the environment.
- New functionalities and features require regression testing prior to upgrading the production environments
- Upgrade testing requires 3-6 weeks of planning and significant time commitments from dedicated Business and IT personnel
- Testing scenarios manually is time consuming and requires many clicks, data entry and navigation through multiple screens that may take hours to test just one test scenario!
- Testing reports and logs are created manually and typically only a limited number are tested
- High risk of errors due to limited testing time and coverage
Test Automation Benefits
- Automated testing helps SQA teams run tests 24/7
- Business process tests can be executed more efficiently and much faster compared to manual testing
- Test automation enables execution of thousands of different complex test cases during every test run providing coverage and scale that is impossible with manual testing
- Unlike manual testing, bugs can be detected early during the development phase in automated testing, saving a lot of time and life-cycles
- Scripts can be reused with zero or minimal changes
- Automated tests can be executed on multiple devices, which is extremely difficult in manual testing
- Because Test Automation accelerates the QA process, fewer SME’s are required for testing- they can focus on more productive activities
