Using Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator with Oracle Utilities Cloud Services
Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator (OUTA) is a testing framework based on Java and Selenium used for automated testing of Oracle Utilities applications and cloud services. It allows for developing, managing and executing web service and user interface based automated tests, using meta-data based approach, without any programming language. Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator has a user friendly graphical web interface that enables people without much programming knowledge to develop automated test flows.
Along with the automation framework, Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator includes an accelerator that supports automated testing of Oracle Utilities cloud services, such as Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service and Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Cloud Service. The accelerator contains several hundred re-usable components that are the modular building blocks of an automated test flow. The Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator user interface allows for these components to be laced together to form an automated test flow. The test data can then be coupled to the automated test flow and executed using the browser-based execution engine within the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator web application.
The browser-based test execution engine should be used for the execution of web service based test automation flows. In addition to the web interface, Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator includes an eclipse IDE plugin that supports the execution of tests from local desktops or laptops. This mode should be used for executing user interface based tests that are developed using the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator web application. The script generation engine in the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator web interface auto generates the scripts for user interface based tests, which can then be executed via the Eclipse IDE (with the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator plugin).
The following features of Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator have been enhanced so that they work with Oracle Utilities cloud services:
- For executing the web service based test automation flows, the Flow Configuration that
contains the web service URL along with additional properties such as smtp server, etc
is pre-defined to work with Oracle Utilities cloud services. Users need not create a new
Flow Configuration. See the Executing Test Flows and Executing Test Flows Using a
Browser
sections in the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator User Guide for more information.
- For generating components using the component generator tool, the complete WSDL URL
need not be specified in the field, only the web service end point name needs to be
provided. See the Development Accelerator Tools and Component Generation Tool
sections in the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator User Guide for more information.
- For fetching test data from the Oracle Utilities cloud services, the WSDL URL need not
be specified, only the web service end point name should be specified.
See the Fetching Test Data From an Utilities Application section in the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator User Guide for more information.
- Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator is integrated with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) with Identity Domains when using it with cloud services. The management of users in Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator web application should be done through IAM. See Identity and Access Management with Identity Domains in the Oracle Utilities Cloud Services Administration Guide for more information about creating and managing users.
