Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 18, 2024

Oracle Application Testing Suite and ReadyAPI Test both cater to diverse testing requirements. Oracle Application Testing Suite is advantageous for Oracle-specific implementations, while ReadyAPI Test is preferred for its robust API testing capabilities and flexibility, despite the higher cost.

Features: Oracle Application Testing Suite offers comprehensive automation, particularly for Oracle ERP, through its integrated modules like OpenScript. It supports functional, performance, and load testing with an Eclipse IDE-based platform. ReadyAPI Test is known for its advanced API testing features, including data-driven testing and web service assertions, with scripting support and easy project setup.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Application Testing Suite needs enhancements in object identification, browser compatibility, and support for non-Oracle apps. It could also improve performance metrics reporting. ReadyAPI Test could benefit from better integration stability and more graphical reporting elements, as well as enhanced team collaboration features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Application Testing Suite provides on-premises and hybrid deployments, with responsive support credited to Oracle's extensive experience. ReadyAPI Test is primarily on-premises, where users appreciate its effective problem resolution but would prefer quicker support response times.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle Application Testing Suite is competitively priced, offering value alongside other Oracle solutions and showing a good ROI by reducing external licensing costs. ReadyAPI Test has a higher upfront cost, perceived as expensive for smaller setups, but it offers significant long-term value through its comprehensive feature set.

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.

You can achieve any complex task with this tool

There aren't any plugins for UI automation. You need to make a custom code and download a job to put into the libraries. If it were panelized, then it would be straightforward. It should be in a panel of the tools, so you can add those tools as your test step in your test cases. For example, it would be nice to have a Selenium plugin available from the menu, where I can select "open browser" and provide the URL. That URL would be immediately open in the browser. This is like a keyword, and then the Selenium plugin should be there.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

"The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

"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."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"

"The function test feature is valuable."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications."

"The solution is scalable."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite pros

"The solution scales well."

"The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support."

"It clearly makes it easy to test APIs based on the SOAP protocol. We are a logistics company, and we have lots of tracking calls coming in. We provide APIs for tracking services, and it makes sense for us to use SoapUI to test them thoroughly."

"We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."

"The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature."

"The product allows us to uncover any potential issues early on."

"The interface is user-friendly."

"The solution offers excellent integration capabilities."

Cons

"It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

"Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment."

"The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items."

"The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved."

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."

"Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

More Oracle Application Testing Suite cons

"The current interface is unsatisfactory."

"The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user."

"SoapUI would benefit from some more customization abilities. It's a good interface, but it would be nice if they added the ability to build custom dashboards where the user can do their own bar graphs and pie charts."

"SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve."

"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing."

"I would like more documentation, training, tutorials, etc. Also, I don't particularly appreciate that I have to save everything. It takes up a lot of space on my laptop, but I have to install the WSDL again If I don't save it."

"The UI should be improved."

"We tried automation but it's not easy to integrate with the synching and some of the mission tools that we use for automated testing of APIs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."

"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."

"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."

"My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."

"It is free of charge."

"ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."

"We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."

"The cost is not that bad."

"I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."

"The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."

"ReadyAPI Test is expensive, and I rate its pricing a four out of ten."
