Tricentis + Oracle: Best-in-class quality assurance for Oracle customers

This blog was originally published in 2022 and has been refreshed with new content.

With companies under pressure to increase the pace of innovation while managing costs, the right quality assurance strategy can be a competitive differentiator. For Oracle customers who are embarking on their modernization journey, best-in-class quality assurance is a necessity. As a member of the Oracle Partner Network, Tricentis offers automated, AI-driven solutions that help our joint customers achieve their business goals with speed and confidence by standardizing quality across the Oracle ecosystem and beyond. Tricentis products support Oracle Cloud Infrastructure capabilities and are available on Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

Our partnership with Oracle builds on the long history of success our customers have enjoyed by using Tricentis products to automate testing of Oracle on-premises applications like Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), Siebel, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.  As Oracle customers now look to modernize their business by leveraging Oracle Cloud, they face new challenges to quality.

• Upgrading Oracle On-Premises Applications to versions that qualify for Oracle Premier Support is resource-intensive and costly.
• The Oracle Cloud applications’ quarterly update cadence requires constant attention to ensure continuous business operations. The business must be kept running smoothly as applications, data, and business processes are migrated to the cloud.
• Processes must perform as intended as Oracle Cloud Applications is deployed alongside Oracle On-Premises Applications.

Fortunately, Tricentis facilitates Oracle Applications customers’ modernization journey, whether it’s maintaining cloud applications, staying on-premises, or migrating to the cloud. By leveraging Vision AI, Oracle customers can start validating the update process earlier, giving customers more than triple the time to comply with the Oracle Cloud Application update requirements. This additional time helps protect businesses from disruptions caused by updates.

For Oracle On-Premises Application customers, Tricentis’ proven success helps organizations quickly comply with Oracle Premier Support policies and facilitates cloud migration plans. Oracle Premier Support requires customers to be on specified versions, which can mean costly upgrades and quarterly updates. With codeless test automation, Tricentis Tosca accelerates these processes.

Tricentis platform offers Oracle customers end-to-end quality assurance

The Tricentis platform can help Oracle customers build a comprehensive quality assurance strategy that returns value throughout their modernization journey. Our portfolio of industry-leading solutions provides everything needed to tackle these challenges, including products for test automation, test management, continuous data integrity testing, and performance testing.

• A major cost associated with E-Business Suite is licensing Oracle Database to support the deployment. Upgrades, updates or new integration touch points often increase the need for additional licensing. With Tricentis NeoLoad, E-Business Suite customers can optimize their database and hardware spending through performance testing. These savings produce a quick ROI for testing automation.
• Oracle customers who are considering or actively migrating to the cloud must contend with issues such as porting customizations, training new users, and going live. Anything that can make this process simpler offers an easy win for IT. And with Tosca, migrating customers benefit from re-usability of tests developed for on-premises deployments for Oracle Cloud Applications, speeding the migration while also reducing the cost and burden on IT.
• Migrating a major application deployment to the cloud is tough without having to worry about making sure data is transformed and synchronized across various systems. Data inconsistencies can lead to poor business decisions, and even worse, issues with compliance. Tricentis Data Integrity validates that the data is migrated correctly and helps to protect the business and ensures compliance.
• Oracle Application customers, whether on-premises or in the cloud, face Oracle-specific complex controls and customizations, making testing challenging and time-consuming. Tosca supports Oracle-specific controls, such as Oracle ADF, enabling easy testing of complex controls and accelerating the testing of customizations. This helps businesses speed up testing and ensures that releases do not disrupt operations.
• Oracle Applications often coexist with other applications like Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, or SAP, with business processes spanning multiple applications. Common processes like procure-to-pay, new employee onboarding, or order-to-cash will frequently touch several applications. If one of those application changes, it can break the overall process and introduce costly disruptions to the business. Tosca’s codeless test automation validates cross-application business processes and ensures that integrations remain functional, protecting businesses from those disruptions during upgrades, migrations, or updates.
• With the multitude of applications, small changes in one area can have ripple effects. To mitigate against this, the disparate teams must coordinate and communicate. Tricentis qTest provides a means for communication and coordination across those teams, helping businesses accelerate their releases with confidence.
