Usability testing at Oracle

I don't know if any of you noticed this,
but under the Technology tab on Appsnet,
Oracle is announcing that they are looking
for "business software users" in the Bay
area to get involved in usability testing by participating in tests at Oracle headquarters. Has anyone tried this?

Hey I am glad someone noticed our announcement! The usability group is looking for people who use business apps (including financial applications) as part of their daily job. Studies last about 2 hours and are run in the early evenings usually, and participants are compensated for their time.

  • Automation Testing of Oracle BPM

    Hi,
    I have just two queries-
    1. Is automation testing of ORACLE BPM possible? If yes, which Automation Testing tool is suitable for Oracle BPM Automation Testing?
    2. What percentage(approx) of the BPM functionalities can be automated?
    Thanks,
    Ritoban Mukhopadhyay

    Hi Jai,
    What we are using is Oracle ATS (Application Test Suite) for both functional and load testing (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/oem/app-test/etest-101273.html) .
    Of course there are a lot of open source tools that you can also use such as JMeter.

  • Test-driven oracle db development with FIT/FitNesse

    Hi,
    I have just finished testing the first version of DbFit, an extension to Fit.Net which allows database developers to write functional and acceptance tests easily and automate them using FIT (Framework for Integrated Testing) and FitNesse, a popular Web-based test and collaboration server.
    Version 0.1 supports testing stored procedures and functions, queries and statements on Oracle DB.
    Source code, binaries, examples, and a short introductory guide for test-driven Oracle database development using FitNesse and DbFit can be downloaded from http://gojko.net/fitnesse/dbfit
    Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • Batch script to test if Oracle instance is up on windows 2003

    I create the batch job from command line to test the oracle 10g, if the instance is up return oracle_sid is ready, this is running on windows 2003, test.bat
    =======================================
    @echo off
    set ORACLE_SID=TESTDB
    echo sqlplus DBAUSER/PASSWORD@%ORACLE_SID% > 1.sql
    echo set echo off feed off pages 0 >> 1.sql

    echo %ORACLE_SID% is ready
    )else(
    echo %ORACLE_SID% is not ready.
    echo End of script
    =======================================
    But it seems always display both lines oracle_sid is ready and not ready, do you know how to fix it?

    This may satisfy your needs for Windows. You will have to modify the settings for your environment. Obviously, this is not an exhaustive test, but the process should provide a cursory status of your database.
    @echo off
    setlocal
    set oracle_home=E:\oracle\product\10.2
    set path=E:\oracle\product\10.2\bin
    set oracle_sid=orcl10
    echo conn / as sysdba
    echo set head off feed off pages 0
    echo select status from v$instance;
    ) | sqlplus -s /nolog > %TEMP%\status.log
    for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ('%SystemRoot%\system32\find /c "OPEN" %TEMP%\status.log') do (
    if %%i == 1 (
    echo Database is OPEN

  • Usability Testing : My #1 "Value-Add" at ASUG Annual Conference & SAPPHIRE

    There are dozens of reasons to go to ASUG Annual Conference & SAPPHIRE every year -SAP Education, Networking, Best-Practices and "Real World" SAP Customer Stories and Lessons Learned can easily fill your day...BUT my #1 "Value-Add" every year is to carve-out some time to take part in SAP Usability Testing sessions.
    It is a great opportunity to get "Hands-On" with Future-Releases of SAP Products, and help guide the User Experience of SAP tools.
    SAP Usability Testing sessions run for 60-minutes, and need to be booked in Advance, as you need to sign some non-disclosure and feedback documents.
    You are partnered-up with another Customer/Client of SAP and walked through some different scripted-scenarios (eg. Enter a Travel Approval Request, Run a Report for your Division, etc) based on the Module that you are looking at. There are a couple of SAP staff with you - and they are also recording your Mouse-Clicks, Screen-Captures and everything you say as you walk-through the process.
    This Feedback process is REAL - and it actually works to improve future SAP tools. Suggestions that we made about SAP Business Object Central Management Console in 2011, became the SAP BOBJ BI 4.1 System Configuration Wizard in 2013.
    Sometimes there are "follow-up" calls (or web sessions) after the Conference where the team will show you how the processes have been changed since your SAP Usability Testing session.
    The Full-List of SAP Usability Testing sessions in Orlando is listed below...Sign-up Early as Spaces are LIMITED.
    Topic Overview:
    1. Ariba® Network Spot Buy
    2. BI Reporting and Analytics App for Mobile
    3. Common Visualization Object Modeler, Business Charting Library: Business Data Visualization

    Hi,
    Oracle Applications 11.0.3 (Oracle Financials) was implemented in our company and later in 2006 it was upgraded to 11.5.10 (with new implementation of Supply Chain Management Module - INV,OM and PO) and 2 months ago we upgraded it to 11.5.10.2+DB 11gR2.
    I've been recommending to upgrade to R12 but the Finance Users are reluctant for an upgrade and of the opinion that the R12 has many bugs and there will be issues after upgrade to R12.
    R12.1.x is a stable release that many customers (including Oracle themselves) have upgraded to.
    Once of the consultant is of the opinion that its better to re-implement R12 instead of Upgrade. He also tells me that R12 does not have sub-accounting and sub-ledger and trial balance reports in AP.Since I am not a Functional Consultant I could not comment on this.
    The Finance modules have been completely re-written and fucntionality had changed for the better. Re-implementation typically costs upto 3 times more than a upgrade. Re-implementation is not necessary if the business model and process have not changed. What are the consultants justifications for doing a re-implementation (other than making more money) ?
    Please advice if there are any useful docs which address the upgrade to R12 issues which I can share with our consultant and users.
    I am currently going thru +Upgrade Advisor: Oracle E-Business Suite Financials and Projects Upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.3 and 12.1.2 [ID 256.1]+
    Pl see the Docs referenced in MOS Doc 850008.1 (Interesting Documents Concerning E-Business Suite 11i to R12 Upgrades)

  • Unit Testing and Oracle Sessions

    We have an issue regarding Oracle session and SQL Developer Unit Testing.
    Every time we run a Unit Test in SQLDeveloper a new Oracle session is created. When closing that Unit Test, the session, however, is not disconnected.
    And the only way to close that "Unit Test" session is to close SQLDeveloper.
    This is causing problems with the no. of sessions available to developers.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Safest Way to Penetration Test an Oracle DB with Potential Data Loss

    Hi,
    I was wondering what the safest way to protect Oracle from data loss when running a web application scan. We currently have an external company about to perform a web application scan and they warned us of potential data loss. However, we can't afford much downtime and our storage doesn't support things such as Copy on Write. What would you recommend? Do you think that something like putting the database in read-only mode for the duration of the test (2 hours) and enabling audit on all actions would be sufficient (we could then review the audit to see if any unauthorized calls were made)? Thanks.

    If not running live you might consider restoring your database to before the test. But you need to have confidence this would work.
    I assume your running live for the duration of the test.
    Going read only might invalid the test, and your application might not be able to run read only without generating errors.
    Examine and be aware of the flashback technologies available to you at your database version and which ones might be useful. In this context increase undo space/retention target might be helpful but dont dash off doing something at last minute.
    Ensure you have checked out how to use logminer.
    Consider not continously updating and standby database you have until test is complete.
    Ensure your more recent backup is successful and you have checked your restore procedures and have contingency places in place.
    In practice the web peneration test may attempt to change a small amount of data in a small number of records, but the agreement probably means they are not liabable if they dropped schema in the database!
    If you have to correct data following their test then do so carefully. Doing the wrong thing (especially in a panic) can make a sitation worse, especially if you are doing something you are not familiar with. Often it may be better the data loss through the application itself.
    If you do turn on auditing be aware of what it gives you before you turn in on, and beware any space implications.
    I notice your are recently registered on the site ... this may mean you dont have much experience with oracle, you may be more of a system administrator for instance. No disrespect in that whatsoever. However especially if this is the case then remember in my opinion dashing to change something last minute statisically often does more harm than good overall and may be harder to undo.
    Hope this helps.

  • Authentication to agent workstation failed when trying to run a test in Oracle Test Manager

    I have the complete version of OATS installed on my local machine. I have the OracleATSHelper, OracleATSServer and OracleATSAgent services running.
    In OTM when I go to run an openscript test I select the system, type the version number and hit run and get a "Authentication to agent workstation failed" error in the summary field.
    It worked before but I cant figure out why it isnt working anymore.
    Can anyone help?

    ATS Version: 12.3.0.1.0 build 376
    I am getting the same error when trying to execute a script from OTM - "Authentication to agent workstation failed".
    I have the OTM server on a remote (server) machine and the Oracle Agent is running on my laptop / workstation. I've tried all I have seen on this thread, but no progress. The manager is now in manual mode and the console only provides the following output:
    D:\OracleATS\agentmanager\bin>d:\OracleATS\agentmanager\bin\AgentManagerService.exe -c  AgentManagerService.conf
    wrapper  | --> Wrapper Started as Console
    wrapper  | Launching a JVM...
    jvm 1    | Wrapper (Version 3.0.3)
    jvm 1    |
    One different thing, maybe, I see is that the agentmanager_auth.log is empty always.
    Also, on the server, I've added this SYSTEM successfully, i.e.the Testing of the SYSTEM added in OTM always gives the success message "The system specified can be successfully accessed by the Oracle Test Manager server."  . In fact it does this even when I provide an incorrect password!
