Automated testing is particularly important in the context of Oracle’s quarterly updates to ensure their proper adoption. During each update, Oracle adds new features, improvements and remedies to enhance the performance and the stability of its applications. The adoption of automated testing assists companies in adopting the Oracle quarterly updates while reducing the possibility of downtime or disruption of services to the customers.
- Speed and Efficiency: The time taken to carry out testing, especially during the quarterly updates of Oracle has reduced greatly with Automated testing, as multiple test cases can be executed simultaneously. This in turn enables faster deployment of expected updates within the organization. Also, the efficiency of automation diminishes the effort spent on manual testing allowing the teams to prioritize the tasks that need attention and provide response to bugs faster than ever. This encourages more Dev cycles and quicker shifts to new changes.
- Maintaining a High Degree of Consistency: Since repetitive tasks are automated in conducting the automated tests, there are minimal chances of errors. Since all issues are documented and rectified, unlike in manual tests where some issues may be missed, it leads to improved accuracy and efficiency. It ensures that tests are repeated under the same conditions every time which facilitates the measurement of performance over time concerning the performance-enhancing activities put in place. Such repeatability of results also enhances confidence in the entire testing procedure as well as the quality of the updates.
- Regression Testing: With the help of automated testing processes, organizations can easily carry out regression testing that checks among other things that new changes do not compromise the existing performance of the system. Given the automation of various processes, it is possible to have the tests conducted again soon after each and every adjustment. This ensures that the whole system is functional without causing much disturbance to the activities being undertaken, making it possible for the concerned teams to correct mistakes before they become too large to control.
- Support for CI/CD Pipelines: Similarly, automated testing fits in the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) processes making it possible to release faster and validate Oracle updates on the go. This results in an improved interaction between development and operations, allowing for testing and releasing of an update with limited human aspects. Thus, if tests are incorporated into the CI/CD pipeline, the chances of the failure of the deployment process are very small.
- Scalability: With automated testing solutions, testing can scale easily to fit within the numerous configurations, integrations or environments owing to the complexities that come with the growth of a business and its Oracle environment. Also, automated testing platforms can be set up to accommodate higher volumes of tests, thus easing pressure on the manual testing resources as the system grows. This scalability provides an assurance that the level of testing will correspond to the growth of the business without any dilution in quality.
Conclusion
To conclude, the use of automated testing becomes imperative when executing Oracle quarterly updates as it allows testing processes to be fast, dependable, and scalable. Opkey, the industry’s leading no-code test automation platform and an Oracle-certified partner, empowers organizations to effortlessly manage these updates. It helps organizations minimize impracticality, improving operational resilience as well as performance and downtime reduction. This makes implementing Oracle updates easily and quickly by ensuring that they do not break existing functionalities thanks to the AI-enabled features.
