Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."
"Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature, the recording feature is the prime feature that open script has, and I also like the connectivity with Oracle Forms as it is very compatible."
"The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts."
"We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good."
"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."
"My advice to others is if they are using any Oracle Cloud Fusion-based or on-premise-based application, this is a good solution to use."
"This tool did a much better job recording the http requests during web load testing than other open source tools."
"I implemented this tool for several of my customers and I can see the ROI right away."
"Dynamically changing application or a desktop application which is challenging to automate, blindly go for Ranorex."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."
"Ranorex is a great tool to learn automation with pleasure."
"Using this product, we have been able create and manage UI automation in the best possible way."
"Support is very quick; you can write to them and on the same day they will respond, and this is one of the best features."
"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."
"By using this product, we have been able to explore some more advanced strategies in developing our automation which has been able to carry over to other automation teams."
 

Cons

"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."
"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."
"Improvements can be made in a number of protocol support areas, including enhanced Citrix support."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"There are certain bugs which were present but was cleared in subsequent releases of application, but still there is room for improvement in the Functionality testing tool when automating form-based applications."
"I think that licensing policies could be more intuitive; when we installed this application for the first time, we couldn't understand why there were only two users."
"Support for Mac and Linux would be handy, it supports only Windows"
"They should have support for other OS’s, aside from only supporting Windows."
"When we have updated the solution in the past there have been issues with the libraries. They need to make it clear that the libraries need to be upgraded too."
"I would like to see Ranorex come up with a load balancing tool for test execution."
"The object detection functionality needs to be improved. We have found that when you are selecting objects by moving the mouse, and then the position of these objects change in the newer versions of the application, the test tool fails to correctly identify them."
"With the new version of Chrome, some objects are identified differently, so we need to identify those and fix the x-path of the object."
"There was one instance where I had an issue and contacted them for a solution; they were unable to provide it, and I ended up finding a workaround on my own."
"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
