Akamai CloudTest vs. Oracle Application Testing Suite (legacy)

We were designing an Airlines reservation system, where we wanted to check the maximum number if reservation our system can handle, this tool helped us to get the test results but the issue was from set up point of view, the initial set up took too much time. But we were able to achieve our Reservation system process.

The Oracle Application [Testing Suite] is used heavily in our organization for independent regions to perform Oracle upgrades. Baseline performance can be monitored before the upgrade and compared to a production query load, we are able to easily monitor server performance and make an accurate prediction of upgrade performance. DBA's are able to use the testing suite for ongoing validation of database performance during peak times.

• It was easy to configure selenium test scripts for executing automated tests for our client front end applications.
• Load and stress testing our payroll processing engine that experienced the highest traffic volumes became a breeze.

• Report generation is difficult
• Some graphs are not displaying accurate results
• More information are missing with respect to load testing

• The application is ideal for places that have already contracted with Oracle, however, OATS is much more expensive than other software available on the market.
• The setup and configuration for OATS requires a lot of technical expertise and in depth knowledge.

The bundle of features that other tools provide is much higher when compared to the one provided by Akamai CloudTest, this is something they need to focus on Priority. Most tools comes with default setup and ends to end testing scenario that can be covered, such as Regression testing. From Akamai CloudTest this is a missing features that can be added up soon.

We buy all things ORACLE in order to have a consistent experience and reduce the training and learning curve. We believe in ORACLE Corporation's commitment to quality and innovation and would not consider any other products. We are a large company and saving a few dollars on licensing is penny wise but pound foolish as we cannot afford unplanned downtime.

Incentivized

• System Hangs as where severe load testing is required
• Authentication is an issue when using OAUTH
• Scalability can be improved and also an on premise tool can be of great help

• Oracle testing suite had a positive ROI immediately, as our web application downtimes were reduced dramatically after we could do automated regression and load testing.
• The learning curve for OpenScript was steep for our team, and we had to spend a lot of work hours training staff and learning the product.
• After users were trained properly, we were able to leverage the benefits of the suite immediately.
