Oracle Application Testing Suite (legacy) vs. Progress Test Studio

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.

The product is easy to learn and any customer making web based application will greatly benefit from a product like this and cut down on testing time. As new code builds go out it's an excellent tool for regression testing. The load testing feature has a great benefit as well and lets us test the limits of the application on different platforms and allows us to tweak the certain area and test again.

• Plugins can be integrated easily with visual studio.
• Takes less time to run all the test scenarios, [and] also generates graphics report for all the tests.
• Keeps bugs [out of] the production.

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.

• 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.
