Requires little maintenance, is stable, and easy to deploy
Oracle Application Testing Suite can improve by covering more browsers as compared to other solutions because they're considering the Edge browser as well, but the solution is working on different Windows operating platforms. For example, in our current Windows 2012 R2 server, if I want to automate the Edge browser, I need to upgrade that particular Windows to Windows 10.1 or some other Windows platform, because it's not supported in Windows 2012 feature. That is an issue. If cross-browsers can be incorporated, then support should be provided. There should be a single operating system where everything can be incorporated. I have faced issues with some indexing items. For example, the solution is able to derive some properties from the screen, such as button locations or text locations, but there are some elements, for example, unnamed buttons or text, where there is no name or ID or any other identifying information. Indexing doesn't always work, and we have to go to those elements manually and inspect them to determine their class, and then input that information into the system.

Provides multiple test environments and saves time, but should have something for inspecting mobile apps screens
With the desktop browser, we can inspect any screen with the web developer option, but they should provide something for mobiles so that we can quickly inspect elements on the device. To write the Selenium scripts, we require web locators. We have to capture them from the local and execute the script on Sauce Labs. If Sauce Labs can provide a solution where we can inspect any of the mobile devices online, it will be very helpful for us. I also faced an issue where during the execution time, the iCloud password used to expire within a certain period, which used to create pop-ups on the screen making our tests fail. That was one thing that we faced many times. If that can be improved, it will be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool"
"Overall, Oracle Application Testing Suite is very easy to use and you can create a good framework for developing and testing."
"For a few years, OATS was the only tool that allowed us to load test our Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) with Siebel."
"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback."
"This is the best tool I have used till today as it allows us to handle automation in variety of ways."
"The most valuable feature is the object identification feature, the recording feature is the prime feature that open script has, and I also like the connectivity with Oracle Forms as it is very compatible."
"The Product as a whole is an integrated package with excellent co-relation with all Oracle Applications and any web-based application."
"We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good."
"This product is a big time-saver, so by extension, it's a cost-savings."
"Testing across multiple devices and environments is now possible to do quickly and effectively."
"Sauce Labs tool has improved my testing efficiency to allow me to include devices I may not have had time to test out before."
"Supplying devices to a testing team of possibly close to one thousand testers and developers is a great undertaking but Sauce Labs has made this very easy and a welcomed solution."
"Overall, Sauce Labs has provided us with a VM farm that is virtually always up and running and has taken the burden off of us/myself of maintaining the VM farm."
"Quality was priority from day one."
"With that information at hand you should be equipped to make an informed buying decision that you won’t regret."
"The ROI is 100%."
 

Cons

"Room for improvement would be for the reporting features. If they could improve the dashboards, that would be helpful."
"The test installation pretty much destroyed my computer’s laptop performance."
"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time."
"I would rate their technical support 2.5 out of ten."
"I have faced issues with some indexing items."
"Improvements can be made in a number of protocol support areas, including enhanced Citrix support."
"We have stability issues with the server logging off when a script runs from OTM."
"Performance is slow as compared to other tools like QTP."
"Yes, the parallelization is not possible now when cucumber and junit are used together."
"I would like to see it work directly with Azure Web Apps so that we do not have to have a separate step to run tests, or setup complex flows in Jenkins."
"Playback needs improvement."
"Rarely, some tests fail, seemingly without cause, and will succeed again the next time we run the tests."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive."
"The one issue I have is the 14-day trial that a new user gets for free."
"When we were in development, it was a bit of a pain because we have onshore and offshore development. One of our development shops is in India, and we were running tests over there. When some of the users tried to log in, it was slow for them or we didn't have enough licenses. That was during the core development before we even launched."
"That said, our constant complaint is that it is kind of slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
"The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
"Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
"With respect to pricing, they did a bundled discount because we went with Sauce Labs for both mobile and browser. They were very competitive on pricing and provided a bundle discount for us as a larger customer."
"Trial the product and see if it suits your needs."
"They could improve on the pricing because it seems pretty expensive. I'm sure it's justified, but it's expensive."
"It could be less like pay-per-use with a lower rate."
"The number of concurrent VMs that Sauce Labs provides depends on your purchase license level."
"Compared with other services, Sauce Labs is a bit expensive."
"We pay for a specific number of VMs."
"The pricing is definitely on the higher end, and there are other options that are more cost-effective."
