EBS test approach

Can anyone elaborate: when performing tests in EBS testing module's functionalities that can span over months (even years) how do you test it in a short period of time? Do you change app server/db dates on the servers to speed up time or is it better to adjust APPS calendar to suit the available test period (hour=month), so for example if you have to wait for a month in real life you only wait for an hr in the test environment..?? What is the common approach?
Any help would be appreciated! thanks...

  • Unit Testing  approach

    Hi,
    We had done technical migration of value based roles to derived roles, and facing problem to design the unit testing approach for the same. can you please suggest what must unit testing approach and how to create test cases for authorizations specificaly to derived roles created from value based roles ?
    goal is after testing, end users should not feel any changes done in roles approach.
    Thanks.

    Hi Swapnil,
    The Testing of Security roles need to be taken in a two step approach
    Step 1 Unit Testing in DEV
    A. Prepare the test cases for each of the derived roles and ensure that your main focus is to see if you are able to execute all the tcodes that have been derived from the parent role with out authorization errors. You also need to verify if each of the derived roles are applicable to those respective Org level Values.
    B. Because there will not enough data in DEV ( except In some cases where you have a refresh of fresh PROD data) it is always advisable to do the actual testing of the roles in QA. The goal here is to see if you are able to perform a dry run of all tcodes/Reports/Programs that belong to the roles.
    C. You may create fewer Unit test ids as you only assign one ID with one role and once the role is tested you can assign the same ID to another role.
    Step 2 Integration Testing in QA
    A. Prepare the Integration Test cases for each of the Derived roles. Here most likely the testing will be performed by the  end users/Business Analysts in that respective Business Process. Each test case must reflect the possible Org level Authorization Objects and Values that need to be tested.
    B. As Integration testing is simulation of actual Production authorizations scenario, care must be taken when creating mulitple Integration test user ids and assigning them right roles and send the ids to the end users to perform the testing in QA.
    C. The objective here is that end user must feel comfortable with the test cases and perform both Positive and Negative testing. Testing results must be caputured and documented for any further analysis.
    D. In an event of any authorization errors from Integration testing, the authorization errors will be sent to the Security team along with SU53 screenshots. The roles will be corrected in DEV and transported back to QA and the testing continues.
    E. Also the main objective of Integration testing would be to check if the transactions are reflecting the right amount of data when executed and any mismatch in the data will be direct implication that the Derived roles do not contain the right Org level values.
    Hope this helps you to understand how testing of Security roles (Derived) is done at a high level.

  • A/B Testing Approach

    Hello,
    I'm trying to come up with an A/B testing approach for an AIR desktop client app.  I realize that the Google Web Optimizer way is not applicable here...
    Can anyone provide a suggestion in terms of approach to this?  Does anyone know of any resources and tools for A/B tests in AIR apps?
    Can minor changes be triggered on click by pushing from server to client?  Would I need to have different builds (A & B) in order to see what UI component(s) works better?
    Thanks,

    Hi Linda,
    A-B testing (split testing) is not natively supported in 11.5.10 or R12 of iStore.

  • Best practice for EBS Testing

    Hello Friends - We are doing EBS Configuration and it includes Search strings also. These changes are applicable to around 40-50 Bank accounts.
    Is it that I should ask Bank to send us test Bank statements for all these accounts.
    Can you pls share Best practices to test EBS set up.
    Thanks

    Hello!
    You don't have to test EBS for each bank account. The best approach to testing is to identify the typical bank statement cases and test them. For instance, if you have bank statements from five banks with several bank accounts in each bank, you need to test the one bank statement for one bank account from each bank. Similarly, if you have different types of bank accounts (e.g. current account, deposit account, transfer account etc.), you will have different operation types in bank statements for these accounts. Therefore, you also have to test bank statement from different account types.
    To sum up, test typical bank statements from each bank and different bank statements from each account type if applicable.
    Hope this will help you!
    Best regards!

  • EBS Integration Approach - API call or Interface Tables

    Hi,
    I'm very new to EBS, but am looking from a data-centric perspective on which approach would be best suited for updating Service Contracts.
    We have at any one time a peak of 5000 records that would need to be matched against an IB identifier and then if that is matched correctly, proceed to update EBS.
    So my question is, given the medium level of volume and fact we're not doing "bulk loading" which would be the better approach? Seems to me the API call to extend the Service Contract would be best.
    Thanks for taking a look!

  • ChaRM: extended test approach

    Hi!
    We would like to extend the ChaRM test function as follows:
    the appropriate Developer should have the possibility to log on on QAS-system and execute the test.
    This should be done before the UC/NC has been released. 
    Has some one any idea how to implement this approach?
    (Customizing, definition of new status of UC/NC)
    Any helpful information will be very appreciated!

    If the Extended test says your drive is bad, believe it. My brother has a G5 iMac. Everything passed Extended tests when new. After a few months strange things started happening to the file system (e.g files randomly disappearing). Disk Utility showed no errors. S.M.A.R.T. verified. Hardware Quick Test passed. Hardware Extended Test showed bad mass storage. Apple suggested Erase with zero option. Still failed Extended Test. When I called them back and gave they error codes from Extended Tests they sent a new drive (Maxtor @%)GB, same as original). It passed Extended Tests and there have been no problems since then.
    When you get a new computer it is a good idea to run the Hardware Extended tests, even if everything seems to be working. Then you will know that if it does show an error later, something has gone bad, and it is not just normal behaviour of the test program.

  • Restore oracle EBS test environment

    hi every one
    I have a test environment with 2 partitions C:(OS) and D:(apps11i), for some media failure I lost both partitions.
    I have a backup for apps folders D:\apps11i but unfortunately I don't have a backup for C:(OS).
    so kindly provide me with solution to make my test environment starts again.
    FYI
    EBS :11.5.10.2
    DB: 9i
    OS: Windows 2000 server

    Hi,
    but, I already have a backup of test APPS11i folder, so what if I install windows and application then just replace the fresh created apps11i folder with backuped one?
    is this useful,Restoring the application/database file only will not work unless you have taken a backup of the registry as well.
    again I cannot run any thing in live source.
    and FYI I always update the test environment by copy the proddata folder to test and running auto config.
    waiting your valuable solution.If you cannot clone the source instance, then you only option is to do a fresh installation of this test instance.
    Thanks,

    Vikash:
      I'm sorry, but your question on testing is very general.  And asking to have help documents forwarded to you is, well, unhelpful.
      A general "testing" approach is to establish customer metrics first.  Do you want to test the validity of data submitted or collected? In other words, are you asking about testing for audit purpose, or are you asking about repeatable, scientific testing to verify carbon emissions from a specific business?

  • Is there any best practice for printer configuration for test environment?

    My Oracle ebs test environment has a scheduled refresh period where it will be refreshed with production test data and configuration time to time for BA, Dev to work on their enhancement.
    However, all the printer configurations are still pointing to production ones after refreshed, which means whenever there is a testing on-going, the doc / label / invoices will be printed to production printer.
    May I know if there is a way to globally change all the printer setup for the test environment, so that nothing will be directly to production?... Please assist.
    (currently, the only way is to change one by one and only if you are aware of it...)
    In case your organization has any other strategy on this matter, pls share also... Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.If you do not want to use same printers then you have to it to point to the (TEST/BA Printers) after you are done with Rapid Clone. Any new printers need to be added manually (just the same way you defined you PROD printers) -- Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
    If you want to edit the configuration, you could use FNDLOAD to download printers definition from the source instance, update the ldt file and use FNDLOAD to upload printers definitions.

  • 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.

    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

  • EBS issue with special character "-"

    Hi Friends,
    I am using “001-Standard Algorithm” to find the document numbers in payment notes of EBS file to clear the customer open items. And no issues in clearing the numeric document numbers.
    Client has a document number range (ABC00-0000 to ABC99-9999) which is not getting cleared with any of the algorithms. Seems like system could not find with “-“ in the middle of the document. I tried testing with following options but nothing worked out.
    Used search string to find the document. (Examples - ABC##-####      ABC##?#### ABC## ####).
    I tried using reference field (XBLNR) with same document number by changing the configs and EBS test file but seems like it could not clear because of “–“.
    Please let me know your inputs if you faced any similar issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • What could be the query to get Spend Amount for a Product name in EBS?

    Hi Experts,
    I need a help to write a query in EBS to get Spend Amount for any given Product Name and Top Level Category (Segment1).
    It can be two different query or a single one. Please reply if anyone knows how to do it. I need it for testing purpose.
    Thanks in advance.

    All good here Sudipta.
    You can try the below SQL.
    SELECT msib.description,mcb.segment1,SUM(pla.quantity*pla.unit_price) total_spend
    FROM
    po_lines_all pla,
    mtl_categories_b mcb,
    mtl_system_items_b msib
    WHERE pla.category_id = mcb.category_id
    AND pla.item_id = msib.inventory_item_id
    AND msib.organization_id = <enter your item master organization id>
    GROUP BY msib.description,mcb.segment1
    If you don't want to use the PO_LINES_ALL, is there any other sourced you are planning to use for spend.
    SELECT mcb.segment1,SUM(pla.quantity*pla.unit_price) total_spend
    FROM
    po_lines_all pla,
    mtl_categories_b mcb
    WHERE pla.category_id = mcb.category_id
    GROUP BY mcb.segment1
    and do not need the po_lines_all table. I'm doing a data validation between OBIEE reports and EBS test data. In report i'm keeping only Product Name and Spend Amount to make it simple. Now I need to check the values are same in report and EBS. Thats the criteria.
    Thanks

  • Testing of Workflows:Upgrade

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6.0.With respect to workflows, we would like to know
    1. What should be the testing approach for workflows in the upgraded environment (do we test the workflow from end-end or test by bringing a workitem to logical closure which was active in 4.7 version).
    2. What are the possible areas of workflow which may be affected or need to be checked due to the upgrade.
    3. Any other steps / criteria that are to be considered for testing the workflows in the upgraded environment.
    Please advise on these points.
