Oracle Application Testing Suite 9.20 was released (former Empirix e-TEST Suite). It is available for download (subject to OTN License Agreement). New features and updates in this Release from Readme:
Oracle Database Testing Accelerator Option – Enables support for direct database testing using ATS. Users will be able to create synthetic automated test scripts for direct database/SQL testing in OpenScript and also use these scripts for load testing in Oracle Load Testing. Users can also import database transactions from Real Application Testing’s Database Replay capture to create test scripts or import from custom SQL Script.
Adobe Flex/AMF Load Testing Support – Enables support for automated load testing of Flex/Flash applications using AMF & HTTP protocols. AMF3/AMF0 is a binary protocol over HTTP used by Flex/Flash applications for server communication which ATS will now be able to support, in addition to HTTP, for load testing Flex applications.
Adobe Flex Functional Testing Support – Enables support for automated functional testing of Flex applications. Flex utilizes rich GUI components which ATS will now natively recognize for automation & validation of Flex application components. ATS is integrated with the Adobe Test Automation API’s which must be compiled with the Flex application in order to capture/replay Flex actions in ATS. ATS supports automated functional testing of Adobe Flex applications created with the Flex 3 SDK and utilizing Flex MX controls. Adobe Flex applications built using Flex 4 SDK and applications utilizing Flex Spark controls are not currently supported at this time.
Oracle Forms 11g Support – OpenScript now supports Oracle Forms 11g applications for both automated functional testing and load testing scripts. ATS supports testing of Web browser-deployed, custom Forms applications in addition to Oracle E-Business Suite Forms applications.
Oracle E-Business Suite 11i & R12 Test Starter Kits & Sample Scripts – New and updated test starter kits for EBS R12 (12.1.1, 12.1.2) and 11i (11.5.10.2). Provides sample functional test scripts and load test script for testing EBS applications.
Load Test Scripting Enhancements – New capture mode for Web load test script recording which results in more compact, intuitive load test scripts and require less manual session data correlation.
Databank Enhancements – New options for parameterizing script inputs including ability to select random record from a databank file and ability to select records from a database query through the OpenScript databanks user interface.
Oracle Load Testing Synchronization Points – Enables setting of Virtual User synchronization points within OpenScript load test scripts, to enable testers to synchronize Oracle Load Testing VUs at specific points in their script during a load test run.
Oracle Load Testing Reporting Enhancements – New, more interactive, flex-based load test graphs for viewing real-time and post-run load test results.
Oracle Load Testing Usage Auditing – New interface for Oracle Load Testing usage tracking and auditing.
Oracle Load Testing – Enterprise Manager Database Diagnostics Integration – Provides Oracle Load Testing users with access to database performance diagnostics during load tests for identifying database performance bottlenecks under load.
Oracle Test Manager Reporting Enhancements – New, more interactive, charts and graphs for viewing Oracle Test Manager reports. Support for including custom test run fields when generating custom reports.
Oracle Test Manager TMap Project Templates – New template for creating Oracle Test Manager projects based on CapGemini Sogeti’s TMap test methodology. Includes customized fields, reports and associated data.
I guess the following note from Readme is important for those who is using the product for a long time:
The legacy Oracle Functional Testing, VB-based scripting platform and associated components (such as Job Scheduler) are no longer included with the ATS installer starting with version 9.2. Customers that still require this product should use ATS 9.1 or older versions supported under Oracle’s Lifetime Support Policy.
