Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Reliable with excellent support but needs better source control integration and versioning
Source control integration and versioning could be better. Currently, StresStimulus does not natively support any form of change control management. Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement. Multiple sets of analysis results can be opened in the user interface at the same time, and comparison reports can be generated to compare some aspects of pairs of test runs. However, the interface that displays the multiple sets of results only allows a single result set to be viewed at any one time & uses tabs to switch between the individual result sets. It would be useful to have the ability to view multiple tabs at once, either side by side in the interface or by snapping tabs out of the interface into their own windows to be viewed together with others. Graphing (collect PerfMon data as part of the tests and then have the ability to create different graphs with that data after the test completes to help with analysis) could be better. Graphs and their contents have to be defined before tests are run. Often, as a result of running tests and viewing the results collected, it is necessary to have graphs showing/comparing different metrics collections than those specified before the run. Other tools collect metrics that are not tied to pre-defined graphs & allow the metrics to be used to construct graphs as required by subsequent analysis & investigation. Nested tests/test case groups/test solution files (ability to build a hierarchy of test cases/test case groups/solution files) are required. Within a StresStimulus, tests are organized in just two levels, test cases, and test case groups. As is possible with other tools, it would be helpful to have a hierarchy with multiple levels of nested test cases/test case groups (or even the solution config files themselves). It would make it easier to manage multiple sets, combinations of tests, load profiles & test mixes if a high-level solution file (or test case group) could run a collection of lower-level ones, which in turn end up executing multiple different base-level test case groups and individual test cases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, Oracle Application Testing Suite is very easy to use and you can create a good framework for developing and testing."
"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."
"The solution is scalable."
"The best feature of this and Load Test is simplicity."
"Now I feel its the best tool to automate any of the Oracle Products, which include Oracle EBS Applications, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Siebel, Adobe Flex, ADF applications, etc.."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"Technical support is great."
"Designed to be a modern testing tool, StresStimulus made it easy for us to upgrade from an older deprecated testing tool and adapt to Agile DevOps testing principles by shifting left with performance testing."
"Compared to other tools, there is not a whole lot to Stress Stimulus UI. This makes it easy to use, be it while scripting, executing, or having to train someone new to the team."
 

Cons

"I think that licensing policies could be more intuitive; when we installed this application for the first time, we couldn't understand why there were only two users."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"WebForms works fine, but scripting in the EBS forms option isn't very consistent and stable."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"Improvements can be made in a number of protocol support areas, including enhanced Citrix support."
"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."
"Result analysis (snap-out tabs for side-by-side comparisons) need improvement."
"We run tests on SQL statements and stored procedures directly, even before integrating with UI. I wish there were a way to connect to my application DB and run SQL queries using a JDBC connection."
"Analyzing results from test runs is proving to be challenging."
"StresStimulus has a dedicated blog where users of the tool can log new feature requests or enhancements to existing features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
