Original Software Showcases Total Testing of Oracle Systems at Oracle Open World
New Approach Improves Test Automation for Any Application Running Over an Oracle Database
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23 // -- In the ever-more demanding world of systems quality, application testing has become a 'must-have' element of best practice for modern businesses. Original Software has addressed this by releasing TestBench for Oracle. The company has developed a proven 'total testing' approach to test automation, using technologies such as code-free testing and self-healing scripts to test any application running on any platform, from front to back. This approach has now been extended to all Oracle database applications, and will be showcasing this approach during Oracle Open World this week, at booth number 2741.
A lack of tools available for Oracle databases has required testers and developers on this platform to rely on trial and error to determine effects at the database level, leaving them with the ability to test the visual layer only. As well as simplifying test automation and putting it into the hands of the business users that really need it, TestBench for Oracle enables both front-end and back-end database activity to be captured and verified. This allows a level of test capability never before possible for applications on an Oracle database. The tool is also fully compatible with the entire line of Original Software solutions, including TestDrive-Gold for dynamic PC-based application testing.
"Improperly testing applications that are business critical, or not testing them at all, is a costly affair," says Colin Armitage, CEO, Original Software. "Enabling companies to truly automate their testing processes provides a means for proper testing to take place without the time or resource investment required for manual approaches. Our total testing approach empowers QA, testing and development staff to test from keystroke to database. Now Oracle database users can put this philosophy to practical use."
TestBench for Oracle allows Oracle development teams to quickly and accurately map all interactions from 'key stroke', through SQL statement generation, to the database and back again. TestBench for Oracle captures when a statement has been raised, captures its content, and maps and verifies what is happening at the database level.
TestBench for Oracle also provides users with a wide range of data handling facilities never before available for Oracle-based application testing. This includes:
o Data protection: Ensures no data is put at risk during any testing function during the entire testing process and guarantees a consistent starting point for tests
o Rollbacks and reusability: Enables 'do over' testing functionality for more streamlined, quicker testing without losing scripts or testing rules
o Data scrambling: Scrambles all real data to adhere to compliance regulations that prevent customer data from being used for testing.
TestBench for Oracle can be used by software managers, quality or testing professionals or software developers.
