Oracle Utilities Test Accelerator (UTA)

Helps to build and maintain components and flows for automated testing.

Keyword

A pre-defined word used to define a specific step in a test case.

Component

Reusable automated test or part of a test.

A component is the building block of an automated test flow. Each component is made up of a definition which allows users to define a keyword and associate values and parameters for the keyword.

Flow

An automated test.

A flow comprises one or more components and/or component sets that are called in a pre-determined sequence.

Flow Test Data

A test data set specific for a given flow.

All components and flows in Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator are organized into hierarchy for better manageability. The hierarchy is:

Release > Portfolio > Product > Module

Release

Represents the highest level of hierarchy.

There is one release per an Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator version, and it contains one or more portfolios.

Portfolio

Represents a product family consisting of one or more related products.

A portfolio contains one or more products.

Product

Represents an Oracle Utilities application.

For example: CCS

A product contains one or more modules.

Module

Represents an Oracle Utilities application functional area. For example: Billing in CCS

A module contains one or more components that are used to automate a specific functional area in an Oracle Utilities application.

A module in the flow tree hierarchy can be used for logical grouping of custom flows for easier access.

Note: The module in the hierarchy of flow and component tree structure is different.
