For meeting the requirements of today’s rapidly growing enterprises, Oracle has developed its cloud infrastructure that provides faster and more predictable performance, enhanced security, low operating cost, improved scalability and improved compatibility for business workloads. As a rule, with great benefits also comes great responsibility. When we consider Oracle Cloud Apps, the most significant challenge is to test applications for quarterly updates. The guest posting provides you with all the latest news related to technology.
Oracle rolls out quarterly updates towards its commitment to deliver innovation and the latest technology. It suggests that customers will get new features and functionalities every three months. However, Oracle cloud updates can easily disrupt the functioning business processes, workflows and integrations. For understanding the impact of new features and their functionalities on existing business processes, it is necessary to perform periodic Oracle testing.
However, most of the companies that have moved their business processes to Oracle Cloud infrastructure are struggling to keep pace with the frequency of frequent updates. The time window provided by the company for Oracle Cloud testing is just two weeks. With the help of traditional testing approaches, companies have a hard time reaching speed and coverage to keep pace with Oracle Cloud updates.
To deal with the problems of Oracle Cloud quarterly testing, companies need next-gen Oracle test automation and continuous testing processes. “Continuous testing” comprises testing early, comprehensively, and usually at every stage of the development life cycle. Such a thing ensures that feedback related to any bugs or risks associated with the product releases is quickly forwarded to the development team with the help of automation. Now, let’s discuss some of the advantages of continuous test automation.

Faster release cycle:
It’s a fact that continuous testing cannot be achieved by the automaton, this is the reason companies need to bring some form of automation. Oracle test automation helps in a faster Oracle cloud application by quickly executing test cases according to the highlighted risks. Faster feedback on the business risks enables IT teams to make informed decisions whether to implement the live updates or wait till its optimization.
Enhanced test coverage:
In traditional Oracle testing methodologies, test cases are written based on guesses or experiences of the tester on how end-users interact with the application. However, continuous testing incorporates automation in which test cases are written by AI-powered test Automation Testing tools that consider real-time user data to write test cases. There are zero chances of skipping or forgetting any test to execute when you use a risk-based continuous test automation platform for Oracle cloud testing. In regards to test gaps, the test automation framework automatically records user sessions and automatically adds new test libraries.
Minimized cost of defects:
Continuous testing promotes continuous innovation. Oracle test automation helps organizations adopt Oracle cloud updates quickly by testing early and comprehensively.
Thanks to risk-based continuous testing and change impact assessment, organizations can easily prevent bugs leakage into the production environment that can easily have an unfavorable impact on business continuity.
Comprehensive testing:
In a manual testing approach, a user tests everything. However, Oracle test automation utilizes a risk-based approach, which involves leveraging risk-based assessment. In addition, automation tools offer wider coverage for business risk as compared to time-intensive manual testing.
In a nutshell:
Organizations that need to keep pace with Oracle cloud quarterly updates require transforming their testing process. Such a thing can only be achieved using the right testing approach and test automation tool. With the help of testing processes, including test recommendations, test authoring, test orchestration, and self-healing of scripts, Oracle test automation ensures continuous innovation while avoiding the likelihood of business disruption.
