Oracle Application Testing Suite: Introduction (formerly Empirix Introduction to e-TEST Suite)

This three-day course provides an introduction to the Oracle Application Testing Suite family of products and their use in testing the functionality, scalability, and availability of Web-based applications. It is intended for students with little or no user experience with the testing suite. Upon completion of this class, students will have working knowledge of Oracle Application Testing Suite and a foundation of basic testing methodologies to apply in Web application environments.

Topics include e-Tester and its use in building scripts and performing functional and regression testing; load and scalability testing with e-Load; e-Reporter for analyzing results; and ServerStats for finding application bottlenecks. This course is based on Oracle Application Testing Suite 8.3
