Oracle Application Testing Suite Initial Setup

Rishabh-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer at Cignity Technology

The initial setup was easy and straightforward, much like installing any other solution. However, some additional manual setups were required once the solution was installed. These were more complex and challenging, but once we got the hang of them, installing the application was much easier.

We can install the solution and set up the issues ourselves if we are the user. However, if we are new to the application, we may need Oracle's support.

The deployment takes around one and a half days.

I have been doing the setup for many years, so it is easy for me. We also have the documentation available, making it quite easy to set up.

It takes a total of one hour to set up, including installations of Java versions and Chrome browser.

The initial setup is relatively simple. To work the tool requires a good grasp of Java and the workings of the tool. Deployment time is minimal for the tool but implementation depends on the specific case and critical scenarios that require performance testing. I'm an OATS consultant so we deploy in-house. Maintenance also depends on the kind of project. If it's a performance testing project, and you need people for scripting, it might require two people. There needs to be some understanding and experience of the tools and that could be a learning curve.

The initial setup of this solution is easy for an experienced team, but may be slightly more complicated for those who are new to this type of product.

It's very easy to set up Oracle because it's a one-time installation. To install it, you should have admin rights, like any other tool. Once you have that, it's quite easy to do the setup because everything is done automatically. If there are some standard errors after installation of the tool, you can fix them easily. I think I have installed 50 products with different customers.

I would rate the setup as nine out of ten. Anyone can install the tool. They don't need knowledge of Java or technical knowledge.

At this moment, the product is a little bit complex. It's not straightforward to set up.

Right now, it's only on-premises. There is no cloud. However, we can integrate with the cloud. The installation and everything will need to be done on-prem only. There is no "go to the cloud and launch it" option.

There are different components to the setup. If a person sits down and continuously works on it, it will be up and running in three business days.

The initial setup was straightforward. We just installed Oracle XE and the application. I've deployed this solution 10 times in various places. The total deployment time is around an hour and a half.

The initial set-up/install/deployment is very straightforward and should not present any problems for any reasonably technical person.

Initial setup is straightforward. It will install Oracle Database, WebLogic Server, and other components by itself. At every step you will be prompted on your screen, but no other setups steps are required.

It was straightforward for the most part except that at times the services wouldn't run and un-installation messed things up.

Straightforward for initial setup, but complex for what we wanted to do. OATS runs as a suite hosted on a web server, so users access the test management piece via a URL. Scripting is done via Oracle’s OpenScript, which is their scripting development environment with Java, so being able to program in Java is probably the most important skill to have for using the tool.

There did not appear to be a simple installation routine. The initial setup was complicated with many parts to consider including binaries and a local database.`

It was really simple. The installation package can do everything for you (install WebLogic and Oracle XE) or you can customize the process. Anyway installation process is very transparent and flexible.

I didn't do the install myself, but I've heard that the installation guide wasn't very clear, and some tial and error had to be done to get it working.

Initial setup of OATS is a straightforward process but care should be taken while installing in server.
