Changes

Application Changes

O/S

• Test infrastructure changes separately from application changes

• Test one change at a time

• Specialized tools can result in much higher quality and efficient testing

• Proper test systems and test data mandatory for good testing results

What Solution To Use

• If change is with-in the application

• UI Changes

• Business Logic Changes

• Patches of different layers (OS, Security, AS, etc.)

Application changes

Better Insight In End-user Experience

Oracle Load Testing allows customers to messure browser time in addition to the

more ”traditional” server time by using functional test scripts* running in addition

to load test scripts.

Combine traditional load testing scripts with functional test scripts

OFT script

* This feature is supported on Load agents using Windows 7, Windows 2008 and Linux

Quick and easy defenitions of scenariosJust pick scripts and define Vus etc...

Integrated Hardware Estimation

Save time and hardware resources by knowing how much hardware resources you

expect to need before starting your test

Estimate hardware and memory settings required for running a load tests

True Cloud Support

Based on Oracle Enterprise Managers 12c IaaS offering:True cloud usage for load testing allows elastic agent allocation based on user definable metrics and thresholds.

Support for elastic load agent allocation during load testing

Oracle Database Diagnostics Integration

Key Benefits

• Oracle Load Testing integration

with Oracle Diagnostics Pack

for Oracle databases

• ADDM & AWR reports directly

in the Oracle Load Testing console

Easier database related trouble-shooting during load tests

in the Oracle Load Testing console

This is especially useful for packaged

applications as the depends heavily on

databases

Using Database diagnostics with ATS

Load Testing – Finding Your Bottlenecks...

Oracle Database

Application Under Test Oracle Load Testing

Monitors the performance with Enterprise Manager

Bottlenecks are frequently found in the database tier (especially for packaged applications).Oracle Load Testing offers a unique integration into Enterprise Manager to simplifyidentification of these bottlenecks and automatic advice on how to address them.

• Tuning requires expertise and is time consuming

• Performance and Workload Data Capture

• System Statistics, Wait Information, SQL Statistics, etc.

• Analysis

• What types of operations database is spending most time on?

• Which resources is the database bottlenecked on?

Tuning Challenges

• Which resources is the database bottlenecked on?

• What is causing these bottlenecks?

• What can be done to resolve the problem?

• Problem Resolution

• If multiple problems identified, which is most critical?

• How much performance gain is expected if M.???

Run A Load Test Againt Your Application...

Monitor Application Through EM and OLT...

The tested applications database CPU load is high. This is seen in Oracle Load Testing’s ServerStats monitoring or external solutions like Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control

Access Diagnostics Reports From OLT

After the load test is completed:

The Automatic Workload Repository

(AWR) and the Automatic Database

Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) reports for

the selected session is loaded in the

OLT console.

‒ AWR report provides a detailed report of the statistics collected report of the statistics collected during the load session

‒ ADDM report analyzes snapshots taken by the AWR during thesession to identify potential performance bottlenecks

Identify�� Impact �� Cause �� Recommendation...

ADDM report findings and Recommendations----------------------------

Finding 1: Hard Parse Due to Literal UsageImpact is .85 active sessions, 84.84% of total activity.--------------------------------------------------------SQL statements were not shared due to the usage of literals. This resulted inadditional hard parses which were consuming significant database time.

Recommendation 1: Application Analysis

Drills down to the root cause

Recommendation 1: Application AnalysisEstimated benefit is .86 active sessions, 84.84% of total activity.-------------------------------------------------------------------ActionInvestigate application logic for possible use of bind variables insteadof literals.ActionAlternatively, you may set the parameter "cursor_sharing" to "force".

“Since moving from our old tooling to ATS, we have been able to

reduce our OVERALL TESTING EFFORTS by 25%!

This is due to a number of factors including the speed that test cases now

execute, the ease and speed of identifying and understanding the

• Testing team have to wait for application

• Test automation project is started once the application is available

• Teams of testers and application users are required for

Typical scenario

• Teams of testers and application users are required for

testing

• Test team works with application users to understand scenarios and

flows for testing as well as the scope of the testing project

• Test automation begins

• Test team is provided access to a test environment

• Test team begins to build test automation scripts

INTRODUCING

ORACLE ORACLE FLOW BUILDER- KEYWORD DRIVEN TESTING

What Is Keyword Driven Testing?

• Keyword-driven testing is another way of creating

automated tests

• It enables non-technical testers to compose test flows by • It enables non-technical testers to compose test flows by

defining series of user actions that together define an

application user flow

• User actions are defined using pre-defined keywords such

as

Click, SetText, Select, etc.

• Test flows are then transformed into executable test

automation scripts at run time

How Is Keyword Driven Testing Implemented?

• Use a Keyword driven testing

framework as harness

• Testers analyze the

• Non-technical testers use

Keywords to mimic actions in

Example

• Testers analyze the

application to test and define

Keywords

• Technical testers implement

Keywords and map these to

code

• Keywords ”Click” & ”Button”

could for example generate the

Keywords to mimic actions in

Flows• SetText Id_UserName John Doe

• SetText Id_PasswordMyS3Cr3T

• Click Button OK

• Bind test data to Flows

• Generate test automation

scripts

Pros and Cons of Keyword Driven TestingKeyword driven testing

Pros Cons

Maintenance is lower (over time)

• Test cases are concise

• Readable test cases for stake holders

• Test cases are easy to modify

Requires technical resource for keyword

implementation

Test cases can reuse keywords Only suitable for applications where keywords / Test cases can reuse keywords Only suitable for applications where keywords /

user actions can be re-used in many places

More ‘robust’ test scripts Longer Time to Market

• Build framework

• Define keywords & code
