1 Introduction

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.

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.

1.1 Feature Highlights

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 and administration tool for entering and managing user accounts, project permissions, and general tool preferences.

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.

2.1 Installing and Starting Oracle Test Manager

To install Oracle Test Manager:

1. Go to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/app-testing/index.html.

2. Download the Oracle Application Testing Suite product from the Oracle Web site and save it to a temporary directory on your hard disk. See the Oracle Application Testing Suite Release Notes for additional information about the product zip files.

3. Unzip the download Zip file and run setup.bat.

4. Follow the setup instructions to install the Oracle Application Testing Suite.

Note:
A product establishes its Default Repository in $installDir/OFT, where $installDir is the directory where Oracle Application Testing Suite is installed or, if Oracle Application Testing Suite is not installed, where OpenScript is installed.

During the Oracle Application Testing Suite installation, you will be required to enter a master password to be used with Oracle Application Testing Suite products. Remember this password. It will be required to log in to the Administrator, Oracle Load Testing, and Oracle Test Manager.

5. For Windows installations, select Oracle Test Manager from the Oracle Application Testing Suite Start menu or enter http://<machine>:8088/otm or http://localhost:8088/otm in your browser where <machine> is the name of the machine where the Oracle Application Testing Suite is installed.
For Linux installations, enter http://<machine>:8088/otm or http://localhost:8088/otm in your browser where <machine> is the name of the machine where the Oracle Application Testing Suite is installed.

Two default administrator accounts are created at installation. The usernames for the default accounts are administrator and default. The default password for both the administrator and default accounts is the master password specified during the Oracle Application Testing Suite installation process. Use the Oracle Application Testing suite Administrator to customize the Oracle Test Manager database by creating user accounts, assigning user names and passwords, and assigning the type of access that they have in Oracle Test Mananger. See Chapter 11, "Administering the Database" for additional information about using the Oracle Application Testing Suite Administrator.

Use the Oracle Application Testing Suite Database Configuration utility to configure database connections to Oracle Load Testing databases.

3 Working With Projects

This chapter explains how to maintain projects, use attachments, create links, and view history.

3.1 Project Basics

A project is the collection of related requirements, tests, and issues grouped together under a project name.

3.2 Working With Projects

You can open existing projects. Use the Administrator to add new projects.

3.2.1 Adding Repositories

Repositories give you the ability to share files. Any shared directory can be used as a repository. Since the Oracle Application Testing Suite Application Service runs as the local SYSTEM user, there may be a policy restricting access to your network share. You can fix this by doing one of the following:

- Ensure that both sharing permissions and security permission on the remote network directory allows for other SYSTEM users to gain access. The least restrictive setting is to allow the windows user "Everyone" to be given permission.

- Configure the Oracle Application Testing Suite Application Service to run under a specific user account rather than the local System user account.

To add a repository:

1. Select Repositories from the Tools menu.
This dialog box has the following options:

New - adds a new entry to the table.

Delete - deletes the selected repository.

Name - enter the name of the repository.

Path - enter the path of the repository. If the path that you specify is a shared network drive, the Oracle Load Testing Server must have access to that drive. By default the Oracle Test Manager Server runs under the "Local System" account. You may need to change this to run a user account in the Services panel.

2. Click New. A new entry is made in the table.

3. Enter the name of the repository.

4. Enter the location of the repository.

5. Click OK.

3.2.8 Importing Data

You can import data from either a CSV, XLS, or an exported Oracle Test Manager ZIP file into the current project in the Oracle Test Manager database for the following types of nodes. Only users with write permission can import data.

- Requirements

- Tests and Test Sets - both manual tests and test folders can be imported. Test folder child nodes cannot be imported at the same time as the test folder.

- Attach files included in an exported Oracle Test Manager ZIP file.

- Issues

- Test Plans

- Test run results for manual tests - test step actions cannot be updated. The expected result can only have a comment added for the run and the actual results string.

For exported Oracle Test Manager ZIP files, only the data that was exported to the archive ZIP file will be included when the data is imported.

To import data, the columns in the imported file must be matched to the fields in the database. Oracle Test Manager assumes that the first row in the file being imported contains labels indicating the type of data in the columns. You can manually map the columns to the database fields or you can let Oracle Test Manager automatically map the fields.

Once the fields are mapped, you can choose to save the mappings to a mapping file for future use so commonly used mappings will not have to be defined each time you import data. Mapping files are shared across all users.

Records will not be imported if the following conditions occur:

- For Test Run Results, the test case ID and the number of test steps in t he test case must match. If there is a mismatch, the records is not imported.

- If a field being imported contains data that is too long for the target field, the record is not imported.

Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool used to drive processes described in build files as targets and extension points dependent upon each other. The main usage of Ant is building Java applications. Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, assemble, test and run Java applications. Ant can also be used effectively to build non Java applications, for instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be used to pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets and tasks.

A developer or tester creates unit test cases using JDeveloper (or any other development environment that allows unit tests). Once created, the JUnit test can be added to Oracle Test Manager. Oracle Test Manger tester execute the unit tests reports the results. To add a JUnit test:

2. Check the <installdir>\logs\agentmanager.log file on the remote machine to see if the agent service started correctly.

3. Test the communication port between Agent and Oracle Test Manager.

4. Check the agent manager log file to verify that the JavaAgent.exe was run when the third party test was started. It is possible to run the same JavaAgent.exe command line specified in the agentmanager.log file from a DOS console. Verify that the command line argument for the third party test package URL is correct. If there is no indication that a Java Agent startup request was issued, verify the Agent version and check the Oracle Test Manager server log.

5. If it looks like the Java Agent was started with the correct arguments, look in the remote machine's <installdir>\logs\agentmananger.log file for any exceptions. It may help to set the oracle.oats logging category in <installdir>\agent\log4jJavaAgentDebug.xml file to DEBUG. This will show more useful third party test execution details. The third party test Java Agent posts its results over HTTP to a servlet running on the Oracle Test Manager server.

6. If the agent.log file shows that the third party test ran and that the results were reported successfully to Oracle Test Manager, then the problem is on the Oracle Test Manager server side. Look in the Oracle Test Manager server log for exceptions.

10 Configuring Databases

This chapter explains how to add and remove databases from Oracle Test Manager, and how to update name, location, and login information for databases that you are using in Oracle Test Manager.

10.1 Adding Databases

You can add an existing Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, 10g Enterprise Edition, or 10g Express Edition database for Oracle Test Manager and Oracle Load Testing or you can create a new schema. In addition, you can create tables in an empty database. When you add a database, the Database Configuration Utility creates a user account for the default user and the administrator. Use Oracle Test Manager Administrator to add more users and to customize projects.

Note:
If you are re-installing Oracle Test Manager and intend to use the same database after reinstallation, you must remove the database name from the System DSN registry before configuring the database for use in Oracle Test Manager. Do this in the ODBC Data Source Administrator by selecting Control Panel from the Start menu and open Data Sources (ODBC) in the Administrative Tools. Select the database name on the System DSN tab and click Remove.

10.1.1 Adding Oracle Databases

To add an Oracle database or configuration schema:

1. Use the Oracle Application Testing Suite Database Configuration utility to configure database connections to Oracle Load Testing databases. On Windows machines, you can access the Database Configuration utility from the Tools sub menu of the Oracle Application Testing Suite Start menu. On Linux machines, you can access the Database Configuration utility from <oats_install>/bin/DbConfig.sh.

2. Select the type of database to add: Oracle Test Manager, Oracle Load Testing, or Configuration schema.

3. Click New.

4. Select Use existing schema or Create new schema & tables.
This dialog box has the following options:

Use existing schema - when selected, a database is added using an existing Oracle database schema.

Create new schema & tables - when selected, a database is added using an new Oracle database schema and tables.

System user credentials - specify the login authentication credentials if you select to create a new schema and tables, as follows:

- User name - enter the login user name for the database system.

- Password - enter the login password for the database system.

Connection details - enter the Oracle database connection information.

- Name - enter the name of the database This name appears in the database selection lists for Oracle Test Manager and as the ODBC Data Source name.

- Description - enter any description text to identify the database.

- Host - enter the host name of the machine on which the database server is running.

- Port - enter the port number that you want to communicate with. If you are running multiple instances of Oracle Database on the same host, specify the port number you want to communicate with.

- Service - enter the Service name for the Oracle database.

- User name - enter the login user name for the database.

- Password - enter the login password for the database.

- Tablespace - the tabespace name. When creating a new configuration schema and tables, you can choose to create a new user on the database or use an existing user. If creating a new user, provide a tablespace name where the user will be created. The "USERS" tablespace will be used as default.

Options - select options, as follows:

- Project Template - specifies which project template to use for test management including specific fields, reports, and, if selected, sample data for each module (Requirements, Tests, Issues, and Reports):

- Default - when selected, the Database Configuration utility creates the default test management database schema for the Oracle Test Manger application database.

- Insert sample data - when selected, the sample data is installed into the new database. For Oracle Test Manager, the sample data is the Sample Project used for the tutorial. For Oracle Load Testing, the sample data is the two load sessions that can be used to generate sample reports.

5. Enter the database connection details. If you selected Create new schema & tables, enter the System user credentials and the Tablespace name.

6. Select the Project Template to use.

7. Select Insert sample data, if desired.

8. Click Save.

9. Click Close. When you add a new connection for an Oracle Load Testing database or a new Configuration schema, the new database is not automatically set as the default connection. Select the database in the Database Connections list and click the Set current toolbar button if you want the new connection to be the current database connection.

10. Either restart the computer or restart the Oracle Application Testing Suite Application service by going to the Control Panel Administrative Tools and open Services and restart the Oracle Application Testing Suite Application Service.

10.2 Removing Databases

You can remove databases from Oracle Test Manager. Doing so does not delete the database files. It removes the database from the database selection lists so that the database is no longer available in Oracle Test Manager. The database cannot be deleted if it is open in Oracle Test Manager.

To remove a database from Oracle Test Manager:

1. Select Programs from the Start menu then select Oracle Test Manager Database Configuration from the Oracle Application Testing Suite - Tools menu.

2. Select the database that you want to remove.

3. Click Remove.

4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

2. Select the database that you want to update.

3. Click Update.

4. Make any changes.

5. Click OK.

10.4 Exporting and Importing Databases

Oracle Application Testing Suite Release 12.1 supports Oracle Database 10g, 11g or XE 10g as the RDBMS for its load testing and test management components. In some cases, it may be necessary to transfer data between databases. The basic procedure to is to export a database dump from one database and then import the dump file into the new database. The following sections provide basic details for exporting and importing an Oracle XE database. See the Oracle Database Utilities documentation for additional information about using the original Export (exp) and Import (imp) utilities and the Data Pump Export (expdp) and Data Pump Import (impdp) utilities.

10.4.1 Exporting Databases Using Export Utility

The Database Export utility provides a way to transfer data objects between Oracle databases, even if the database reside on different platforms. Running the Export utility on an Oracle database extracts objects (such as tables) with all related objects (such as indexes, comments, and grants), if any. The extracted data is written to an Export file.

To export a database using the export utility:

1. Open a command prompt.

2. Change directory to Oracle home. For example, C:\OracleATS\oxe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN

3. Enter the following command:

exp userid=username/password owner=schema name file=Exportfile.dmp log=Export.log

where:

userid= specifies the username/password of the user performing the export.

owner= specifies the schema name to export ("oats", "olt", "otm").

file= specifies the file name to which the schema will be exported.

log= specifies the log file name to save any warnings or errors that may have occurred during export.

For additional parameter information, type exp help=y at the command prompt.

Example:

exp userid=system/oracle owner=OATS file=OATS.dmp log=Error.log

10.4.2 Importing Databases Using Import Utility

The Import utility reads the object definitions and table data from an Export dump file and inserts the data objects into an Oracle database.

To import a database from an exported dump file:

1. Open Sql Plus and create a user (for example, Test) and grant roles (connect, resource, create any view) to the newly created user.

- create user Test identified by password;

- grant connect, resource, create any view to user Test;

2. Open a command prompt.

3. Change directory to Oracle home. For example, C:\OracleATS\oxe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN

4. Enter the following command.

imp userid=user/pwd fromuser=OATS touser=Test file=Exportfile.dmp log=test.log

where:

userid= specifies the username/password of the user performing the import.

fromuser= specifies a list of owner usernames. This parameter enables you to import a subset of schemas from an export file containing multiple schemas.

touser= specifies a list of usernames whose schemas will be targets for import.

file= specifies the name of the exported dump file. For example, Exportfile.dmp.

log= specifies the log file name to save any warnings or errors that may have occurred during import.

For additional parameter information, type imp help=y at the command prompt.

Example:

imp userid=system/oracle fromuser=olt touser=Test file=Exportfile.dmp log=test.log

5. Add the new database to the Oracle Application Testing Suite using the Oracle Application Testing Suite Database Configuration utility. See Section 10.1, "Adding Databases" for additional information.

10.4.3 Importing Databases Using Data Pump Import Utility

In cases where the database was exported using the Data Pump Export (expdp) utility, you use the Data Pump Import (impdp) utility to import the database.

To import a database from a Data Pump Export utility:

1. Create a folder. (for example c:\test)

2. Open Sql Plus and enter the following command:

SQL> create directory test as '/backup/db_name/exports/dpump' ;

3. Grant read and write permissions to the users who will be performing the data pump import. Note: before granting following permission please log in as sys as sysdba (different user than logged in user and should be logged in as dba)

SQL> grant read, write on directory test to system, user1, user2, user3;

4. Open a command prompt.

5. Change directory to Oracle home. For example, C:\OracleATS\oxe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN

6. Enter the following command:

impdp system/<Password> DIRECTORY=<dir name> DUMPFILE=<dmpfile.dmp> LOGFILE=<logfilename.log> remap_schema=<source_schema>:<target_schema>

For additional parameter information, type impdp help=y at the command prompt.

Example:

impdp system/oracle DIRECTORY=test DUMPFILE=expdp_Exportfile.dmp LOGFILE=impfull.log remap_schema=oats:oats

11 Administering the Database

The Administrator allows the system administrator to manage users, roles, projects, and fields.

11.1 Starting the Administrator

The Administrator allows you to create user accounts, assign them user names and passwords, and assign the type of access that they have in Oracle Test Mananger. The Administrator allows you to manage users, roles, projects, and fields.

Two default administrator accounts are created at installation. The usernames for the default accounts are administrator and default. The default password for both the administrator and default accounts is the master password specified during the Oracle Application Testing Suite installation process. You can change the password after logging in to the Administrator. It is recommended that you change the default password as soon as you log in.

To start the Administrator:

1. For Windows installations, select Administrator from the Oracle Application Testing Suite Start menu or enter http://<machine>:8088/admin or http://localhost:8088/admin in your browser where <machine> is the name of the machine where the Oracle Application Testing Suite is installed.
For Linux installations, enter http://<machine>:8088/admin or http://localhost:8088/admin in your browser where <machine> is the name of the machine where the Oracle Application Testing Suite is installed.

2. Enter your password.

3. Select the Oracle Test Manager database that you want to access.

4. If this is the first time you are logging in, change the administrator password by clicking the User tab, selecting the Administrator user, and clicking Edit.

5. Enter the new password, verify it, and click OK.

11.11 Data Links

The data link feature lets you configure and manage data links to third party systems or other Oracle Test Manager systems. The data link allows you to import and export requirements, issues, or manual tests so that the data is synchronized between both systems.

Data nodes are synchronized using a custom field that serves as the third party node identifier. The custom field must be created using Administrator for each type of node you will be synchronizing, requirements, issues, and manual tests.

The synchronization is done via a folder system that is used to hold incoming and outgoing nodes. You determine where the folder system resides when you create the data link. If the folders are on your local machine and the third party tool is on another machine, the folders must be shared.

The following folder structure is created:

Figure 11-1 Visual Script Tree Hierachy

The uppermost folder is the DSN name. The next folder is the project name. The folders on the next level are the folders used for importing and exporting. The In folders are where the third party tool must place nodes for importing into Oracle Test Manager. The Out folders are where Oracle Test Manager places nodes for exporting to the third party tool.

You can use either a CSV or XML file format for linking. If you use a CSV format, you must map the fields in the third party tool to the fields in Oracle Test Manager. If you are using an XML format, you must conform to the Oracle Test Manager DTD located in the OracleATS\OTM\Files\XML_DTD folder. Nodes that do not conform will not be imported.

Imported nodes are moved to the BackUp folders. Nodes in these folders should periodically be deleted.

Once a data link is created, you can start, stop, and delete them is using the Manage Data Links option. When a data link is started, the Integrator dialog box is displayed showing the data link properties and the Integrator progress. You can use this dialog box to monitor status. When it is minimized it is placed in the system tray.

In addition to monitoring the Integrator progress, a log file is created showing Integrator activity. This file is called <project name>_Integratorlog.log and is located in the top-most folder.

11.11.1 Creating Data Links

Custom text fields for identifying third party nodes must be created before you create the data link. The fields are:

_IntReqID for requirements

_IntTestID for manual tests

_IntIssueID for issues

To create the custom fields:

1. Select the Fields tab.

2. Select Custom Fields under Requirements.

3. Click Add.

4. Enter _IntReqID in the Name field.

5. Enter a label.

6. Select Text in the Type field.

- Issues - select this check box if you want to link issues.

- Create Mapping - displays the Mapping tool for CSV files.

6. Enter the setup information.

7. Click Select Data Link Location to display the Select Data Link Location dialog box.
Enter the location to create the Data Link folders.

8. If you are using CSV format select the node that you want to link and click Create Mapping. If no CSV files exist in the associated in folder, an error is displayed.
This dialog box has the following options:

Selected Node Type - displays the node type that you are mapping, requirements, issues, or manual tests.

CSV File Columns - lists the columns in your CSV file.

Fields available for mapping - lists the fields in Oracle Test Manager.

<right arrow> - maps the two selected fields.

<left arrow> - removes the mapping of the selected field.

Selected column contents - displays the contents of the selected column.

Auto Match - automatically maps fields with the same name.

9. Select the CSV column name and the field that it maps to and click the right arrow. Use Auto Match to map fields with the same name in both columns. The _IntIssueID, _IntTestID, and _IntIssueID fields must be mapped to the corresponding item number field in the third party tool.

10. Click OK.

11. Repeat this step for each node type that you want to link.

12. Click OK to save the data link. The data link is created but not running. Use Manage Data Links to start the data link.

Two files are created one level up from the In folder. They are:

- DL_<DSN name>_<project name>.xml - contains the mapping information for this data link including status of the data link and the encoded administrator password for security purposes. This file is located one folder level up from the In folder.

- <node type>Map.txt - contains the data link information. You can edit this file to change data mapping. This file is located in the OracleATS/OTM/files folder.

11.11.2 Managing Data Links

When the data link is started, the Integrator looks in the IN folder and imports the files it finds there. It also checks for updated Oracle Test Manager nodes and places them in the Out folder for the third party tool to retrieve.

To start the data link:

1. Select Run from the Start menu.

2. Change directories to <installdir>\OTM and run DBConfig.exe.

3. Select Manage from the Datalinks menu.

4. Enter the username and password to access the Administrator.

Data Link properties - displays the data link's configuration information.

Start - starts the data link.

Stop - stops the data link.

Progress - displays what the Integrator is doing.

7. When you minimize the Integrator it appears in the system tray. Once files are imported they are moved to the BackUp folder.

Note:
Files are not automatically removed from the BackUp folder. It is recommended that you periodically delete files from the BackUp folder as it can get quite large.

A log file called <project name>_Integratorlog.log is created in the top most folder. It contains a log of the Integrator activity that may be useful for troubleshooting.

If you are using CSV format and the CSV file is missing a field that Oracle Test Manager has, the Integrator creates it. If you are using XML format and the file does not conform to the Oracle Test Manager DTD, it is not imported and a message is placed in the log file.

11.11.2.1 Data Collisions

Following is a list of possible scenarios where a data collision might occur and how Oracle Test Manager resolves them.

Scenario 1: Data about a node is received by Oracle Test Manager while the node is being edited in Oracle Test Manager. This may occur when a node is being edited in both systems. If the third-party system finishes first, it exports the file to Oracle Test Manager's IN box.

Resolution: Before saving node data, Oracle Test Manager checks its IN box to see if there is an update for the node. If there is an update, the node is not saved to the database. The user will be asked what to do. The options are override the update or accept the updated data.

When the user overrides the changes, the node is not imported, the changes made in Oracle Test Manager is saved, and the node is then exported.

When the user accepts the changes, Oracle Test Manager discards its own data, imports the node, and updates the data. The node is not exported.

Scenario 2: A node appears in both the IN and OUT boxes. This may occur when both systems send update records to one another before they get imported. For example, if a node is edited and saved in the third party system and the export is delayed for some reason. In the mean time, Oracle Test Manager finishes updating and sends the record. In this situation, there will be two versions of the same record waiting to be imported by the systems.

Resolution: Before starting an import, the Integrator will look in its OUT box to see if there is a record for the node it's about to import. If there is, the Integrator notifies the user found in the file to be imported via email that a conflict has occurred and needs to be resolved. No updates occur. The user must determine which file is correct and place it in the IN box. If email notification fails, the event is logged to the log file.

Scenario 3: The connection between the two systems is broken. This occurs when the machine with the shared folders is down.

Resolution: When Oracle Test Manager cannot write to the shared folder, the administrative user is notified via email. It is up to the administrators of both systems to resolve the problem. If email notification fails, the even is logged to the log file.

11.11.3 Deleting Data Links

To delete a data link:

1. Select Run from the Start menu.

2. Change directories to <installdir>\OTM and run DBConfig.exe.

3. Select Manage from the Datalinks menu.

4. Enter the username and password to access the Administrator.
