Oracle Test Manager is an easy to use tool that allows you to organize and manage your overall testing process. It provides a single unified platform for sharing information among team members that is integrated with test solutions. You can manage both manual and automated tests
Oracle Test Manager lets you create projects that group together and organize test scripts, requirements that need to be tested, and issues resulting from the tests. Once created, you can indicate the relationships among these items, allowing you to quickly and easily find all information pertaining to a particular test script, requirement, or issue.
The Oracle Test Manager Web interface lets you access the database remotely without having to install software onto your computer.
Oracle Test Manager offers the following features and advantages for integrated requirements management and defect tracking for both manual and automated tests:
Requirements Management - provides the ability to define and manage requirements for a specific project. You can specify details for each requirement, track the status of each requirement, and associate requirements with test cases to ensure testing coverage.
Test Planning and Management - provides the ability to define and manage a test plan that incorporates both manual and automated test cases. You can store Oracle Application Testing Suite scripts in the database, automatically execute scripts in Oracle OpenScript from the test plan interface, and automatically store the test results. You can also associate requirements to test cases to ensure testing coverage, and associate test cases with issues so they can be reproduced and to keep track of how the issues were identified.
Test Execution - provides the ability to create test sets, specify which tests to run and execute tests either manually or at a scheduled date and time.
Defect Tracking - provides the ability to create and manage defects, referred to as issues, for a specific project. You can associate test cases with issues so they can be reproduced and to keep track of how the issues were identified.
Integration with Oracle Application Testing Suite - seamlessly integrates with Oracle Application Testing Suite test solutions, providing the ability to automatically launch and execute Oracle OpenScript scripts for functional and regression testing as well as retrieve and archive the results. You can also launch third party products.
Reporting - generates reports in standard HTML format for managing the overall testing process. You can report on requirements, tests, and issues.
Administration - provides an administration tool for entering and managing user accounts, project permissions, and general tool preferences. The Oracle Test Manager Administrator provides options for configuring LDAP authentication providing users a single-sign on solution. See Section 11.5, "Implementing LDAP User Authentication" for additional information about configuring and using LDAP authentication.
Custom Fields - provides the ability to add custom fields to the database for recording data specific to your projects.
Database Repository - provides the ability to store test assets including test scripts, results, attachments, requirements, test plans, and defects in a common database.
