As enterprises begin to adopt Oracle cloud solution or either are functioning as an amalgamated solution of Cloud and Oracle EBS, many enterprises struggle with their testing programs often leading to significant cost and effort over runs. One of the common area that we have seen CIOs and ERP strategy Officers often worrying about is low confidence on Test coverage or unknown areas of testing or both of these technology supported platforms which could potentially result in low user confidence and loss of business continuity.
This document attempts to address those concerns and presents a recommended testing approach from OpKey for Oracle E-Business Suite for multiple generations of the application. We have drawn from our experience of working with over 100+ global enterprises helping them test seamlessly their Oracle EBS and Oracle Cloud Applications.
Areas of Potential Break?
Integration Issues while testing Connections:
System started throwing error that ‘connection URL was of a specific format?
Why this issue occurs? The issue occurs because of protocol error. To resolve the issue, the connection URL should be of a certain format http(Oracle Host name>:<port>)
System has multiple connections going for it and changing all of that at a live production environment is a scenario nobody would want to get into.
Security Validation Issues
Security assignments experience access compliance breach and unexpected mismatches to policies making it an inevitable validation required to be covered at all the stages during the migration
Process-to-Integration Failure:
When creating an integration that includes a Process and an Integration, you cannot expose a WSDL on the Integrations side that is the same WSDL exposed on the Processes start message side. Instead, either use a different WSDL on the Integrations side or expose a REST interface.
Multi-Order Process Failure:
Online order creation system not being thoroughly tested for multiple orders. E2E cycles are required to be tested for multiple orders with multiple personalized items.
Releases/Patches not thoroughly tested
When it comes to managing your Oracle EBS releases, change is constant. And to survive – you need to take a proactive approach to change delivery. With the right tools to standardize and accelerate the way you deliver change – is the key to ensuring your organization’s competitive edge.
