Evolutionary Steps for Automated Testing for E-Business Suite

By Steven Chan on August 17, 2009 10:35 AM

My, how time flies. It's been over two years since I last covered automated regression testing for the E-Business Suite. Our strategy for this area continues to evolve, so it's high time for an update.

The test scripts were created against an EBS Vision Demo database displaying American English. You can use these kits as a model for building out your own automated regression tests for your Apps environment. Back in 2006, you could download our Quality Assurance teams' automated WinRunner QA scripts for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i via a Test Starter Kit. A few things have changed since then:
