Automated testing tools for Oracle Finanacials

Hello all,
We are planning an upgrade to R12 and in order to save time we are wondering if an Oracle or 3rd party tool exists to input user data in various Oracle products - AP,PO, GL. The problem lies in getting our users to find time to input data into the forms every time we do an upgrade or large patch. If it was automated, we could run the automated scripts and the users could checkthe output. I've noticed one posting on HP's LoadRunner, but is this an option. I don't know what the cost would be, but we're hoping it is not too prohibitive. Does anybody use or know of tools available?
Thanks,
Alex.

Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

All,
I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
Functional Testing:
* Use of shortcut keys
* Navigation between fields
* Screen organisation (filed locations)
* Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
* Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
Performance Testing:
* carry out tests for fixed user load
* carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
* automated collection of log files and metrics during test
So far I have:

Thanks in advance for your response.
Mathew Butler
Configuration:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

Testing Tools for Oracle Developer Server

Hi,
Are there any existing Automated Testing Tools to simulate load for the Oracle Developer Server.
Lemme know.

Oracle has an internal testing tool that can be used to do this called Intercept Server.
You can ask your local consulting office to carry out the load test for you using Intercept Server.
If you would like to do this task yourself then you will need to purchase a load test tool from Mercury called LoadRunner, last thing I heard they supported Forms 4.5 and were about to support Forms 6.0

Testing Tools for SAP & SAP BIW

Hi Forum ,
will any body pls let me know what are available testing tools for SAP and SAP BIW? Which tool is popular and mostly used? Does any one provide training for this tools?
Regards
Suhel

Hi,
For SAP R/3 we use CATT and ECATT tools.
Both are very useful tools and generally used for automated functional testing.Reduces a large amount of cost and human effort.
Even you can convert or call external tool scripts like mercury QTP etc from ECATT and run from ECATT itself.Also you can use these tools with solution manager to get awesome effortless testing and test plan management.
Check my weblogs.
Part-1:Shows how to create a Parameterize CATT script.
/people/community.user/blog/2007/02/05/create-and-migrate-catt-to-ecatt-part-1
Part-2:Shows how to migrate CATT to ECATT script.
/people/community.user/blog/2007/02/06/create-and-migrate-catt-to-ecatt-part-2
1./people/community.user/blog/2007/01/02/integrating-ecatt-mercury-qtp-part-1
   This one shows the minimum configuration required for QTP and ECATT integration on client and server side.
2./people/community.user/blog/2007/01/15/integrating-ecatt-mercury-qtp-part-2
   This one shows the standalone mode.e.g.mercury script is created and uploaded to ecatt and then executed from ecatt itself.Also,It is now possible to call this script from Solution manager.
3./people/community.user/blog/2007/01/22/integrating-ecatt-mercury-qtp-part-3
   This one shows the integration mode which is most powerful as we can run QTP scripts from ECATT,Upload & download modify existing etc.
Please reward points.

Load Test Tools for CC&B 2.2?

We are evaluating four load test tools for CC&B 2.2. JMeter (Free), BadBoy (Free), TheGrinder3 (Free), Selenium (Free) and Loadrunner 9.5.1.
1) Does anyone out there have a load test success story to share? If so, be sure to mention which tool or tool combination.
2) Can anyone recommend another solution we might want to evaluate?
3) It appears none of these tools work "out of the box" with CC&B. GUI rendering mode fails ajax calls. Does anyone have a trick for working around/through this issue?
At this point, it appears the best options are:
1) Use a combination of JMeter and BadBoy. We record the gui navigation in BadBoy and run the script in JMeter. JMeter doesn't support https GUI capture, but it seems to be the better tool for running the scripts and analyzing the results. BOTH TOOLS ARE FREE.
2) Loadrunner VuGen. Fails on replay due to the ajax calls. Manual scripting is the only workaround found so far.
TheGrinder3 has no GUI replay. You can't watch the replay. Also, passwords are clear text.
Selenium only works with Firefox. LVVWD doesn't use/support firefox.
I should also mention that our criteria assumes minimal load testing in the near future and are trying very hard to avoid spending big $$$ for upgrade and maintenance fees.

My company used AppLoader to run tests through NRG Global. We didn’t have a lot of people to dedicate to the testing, so we paid NRG a consulting fee to do it for us (for surprisingly less than we thought!). We had them test a Citrix & .net client/server application (with 300 users) and an Apache web application with Ajax (150 users). AppLoader is protocol independent, so it worked just fine with both. Also, it tests from the front end, so you can watch the GUI replay. They also have password encryption, although we didn’t use it for our tests.
They were able to run the tests & get the data back to us quickly. We ended up with some failures & errors, but they gave us a detailed report with screenshots, logs & graphs which enabled us to find the problem, get it fixed and get our application up quickly. Turns out we had a memory leak. It was a relief to have the test done so fast, thorough & without the huge price tag. I spoke with the consultant there directly. She was very nice & helpful walking me through the results. Hope that helps. Good luck!

CM Tool for Forte

Hello all,
We are in the process of evaluating software Configuration
Management tool, named Perforce. We are exploring the possibility of using
it for Forte based projects too. Is anyone out there have currently using
this tool with Forte, or have any experience with the possibility of using
any CM tool with Forte development.
Any input in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charu.

Text based configuration management
Scripts to export/import
Repository creation tools from frozen source set (taken out of CM)
And policies to force users to checkout a full plan (for locking reasons)
when having to change a single class.
There's still the issue where stuff is checked out in CM and as well
in the workshop => inconsistency risk
Cheers,

Objet: Re: (forte-users) CM Tool for Forte
Hi,
Just Curious to know how everybody are maintaining different
versions of the
Forte project.
Forte itself provides us with the Team development and cross platform
development features. All we need is Version Controlling.
I presume we wont be maintaining different versions of each
"Forte Project"
in the Version Control.( A Project in Forte will definitely contain more
than 1 Forte Project). If we do this, we need to maintain a chart
of which
version of Forte Project works with another Forte Project and it is messy.
The other way is to baseline the Development Repository itself in the
Version Control. This works fine. But once the repository starts
growing, I
am not sure of the version control software handling GB sized files.
Any IDEAS?
Thanx
Krishna

Need information on open source testing tools for ADF web applications

Hi experts,
I need to investigate on new feasible open source Java testing tools for testing ADF web applications. I have tried to google a lot but getting confused.
My requirements as as under:
1. The tool must be open source.
2. It should be easy to understand and to work upon by the tester and developers.
Selenium based testing approach is already in place for testing the application but need to search for tools other than Selenium which shall prove suitable for testing ADF applications. Kindly let me know your inputs / suggestions.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Neelanand

Hi,
Have a look at JMeter http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html
1. The tool must be open source.It is.
2. It should be easy to understand and to work upon by the tester and developers.I guess it is.
There are some specifics in configuring it for ADF, but Chris Muir wrote a nice blog about how it's done, check it out http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.com/2010/04/configuring-apache-jmeter-specifically.html

RE: Test automation tools for Forte applications

Mark,
There is a basic automated testing program already
supplied by Forte in the examples. It is called
AutoTest.Pex. It records events and can replay them.
It can be a bit tricky and is a bit basic, but
may have some of the functionality that you want.
This is specifically for window / widget testing.
Hope this helps,

There is also TestComplete by AutomatedQA but it is of
limited usage because it is not mx.automation aware and in many
difficult cases reverts to dumb mouse X,Y recording.
And there is the upcoming RIATest that will be specifically
designed for Flex using mx.automation. Here is the site:

Are there any good black box testing tools for j2me?

Is there any good testing tools available for testing software on physical mobile devices?
I would like to partially replace manual testing with automated testing using a test tool. It should work on physical devices, and with the help of a script it should be possible to execute predefined sequences of button pressings on the device. Preferably there should also be some way of deciding whether the test was a succes without having to do so entirely manually.
The purpose with this would be to make it easier to go through the test protocols, which has to be done before every new software release.
Deviceanywhere.com looks promising at first glance but it is rather costly. Still, does anyone have an opinion of it?
Does anyone has experience of Mobile junit for this kind of testing? Is it possible to define series of physical button pressings with it? At first glance it doesn't seem so.

You can collect the Organizational Health in Exchange 2010 console for Exchange 2003/2007/2010 and that will list very useful information about statistics in your organization like servers, databases, CALs, recipient, feature used etc...

Stress test tool for EBS

Hi Hsawwan, other EBS APPS dba's!
We are trying to predict some performance according future load on EBS. This is classic stress test techniques. We want to automate stress on APPS side and run some requests and forms as well....
