Oracle Application Testing Suite is a comprehensive, integrated testing solution for Web applications, Web Services, packaged Oracle Applications and Oracle Databases.

Description/History

Oracle regularly releases updates to the Oracle Application Testing Suite. These updates often include new features, improvements to existing features, and better compatibility with evolving technologies.

The test solution was originally developed by RSW, who was bought by Teradyne that created the software and call center test company Empirix. Empirix eTest Suite was acquired by Oracle in June 2008 and was rebranded as Oracle Application Testing Suite.

The Oracle Application Testing Suite is part of the Oracle Enterprise Manager product family and comprises the following tightly integrated products:^[1]

Oracle Load Testing for scalability, performance and load testing.
Oracle Functional Testing for automated functional and regression testing.
- Oracle Flow Builder is introduced as part of Functional testing along with the Release of OATS 12.3.0
Oracle Test Manager for test process management, including test requirements management, test management, test execution and defect tracking.

Oracle Application Testing Suite also provides a series of integrated testing accelerators for testing Oracle packaged applications and SOA applications.

These accelerators enable enhanced scripting capabilities for more efficient and optimized testing.
