Oracle Application Testing Suite (legacy) vs. Rapise

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's] well suited when there is someone with some degree of programming comfort.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Simple recording front-end and easily captures UI objects for later interaction
• Flexible programming interface provides a multitude of manners in which to interact with learned UI objects
• Javascript based IDE is easy to learn

• 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.

• For tests that require specific approaches it is necessary to have advanced knowledge of programming in javascrip, which sometimes the QA team does not have experience
• Sometimes I have noticed that when using object dragging errors occur intermittently
• The integration with some tools (Dynamics) is only with the basic functions from my point of view

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.

The main reason for choosing Rapise was that the other two options that we had tried at that time only served us for web applications and with Rapise we have greater versatility without changing the solution. In addition to the compatibility with other libraries that are familiar to us and easy application by our team

• 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.

Incentivized

• The primary objective of the institution is a service to the public, so everything that improves response times to the public helps us to achieve it.
• As a department in charge of the development of systems and applications, our objective is fulfilled by delivering quality products and tools such as Rapise help us greatly
• The return on investment can be more than justified by fulfilling the primary objectives
