The Accelerator™ Testing and Documentation Suite for the Oracle E-Business Suite is a pre-built, automated testing system that allows you to significantly reduce or even eliminate pulling in end users or IT staff to perform new implementation or on-going functional testing. This includes testing for new implementations, patches, family packs, critical patch updates, major upgrades, as well as technology stack upgrades or modifications. The Accelerator™ does this by automating the majority of test cases previously performed by hand for both 11i and Release 12 environments. Extensive testing of both functional processes and data can now be scheduled and run in a fully un-attended mode, significantly decreasing testing cycles, while simultaneously increasing testing coverage and reducing go-live risk. The Accelerator™ also thoroughly documents all testing performed and results achieved, providing information for SOX and audit compliance reporting with no additional cost. Through the addition of the Accelerator’s™ Documentation Engine, this reporting can be expanded to include the automated creation of training manuals, UAT testing documentation, regulatory compliance reporting, as well as fully custom reports. Taken together, the Accelerator™ offers a compelling ROI that allows you to do much more with less, allowing personnel to be freed for higher priority activities.

The Accelerator™ for the Oracle E-Business Suite is built using all-new 3rd Generation (3G) automated testing technology. This technology enables existing functional testing teams and personnel by eliminating the programming languages of prior automated testing tools, removing the need to acquire or contract for expensive, specialized testing personnel. In addition, the Accelerator’s™ 3G automated test case generator, cFactory™, allows the Accelerator™ to be easily extended to cover customizations, unique business processes and even non-Oracle or in-house applications.

The Accelerator™ incorporates a number of features designed specifically to increase testing coverage while reducing cost, time and risk. These include:

• Pre-Built Automated Test Cases
  The Accelerator™ includes pre-automated test cases covering most major business processes and EBS modules right out of the box. This means that the Accelerator™ can typically be implemented by 2 TurnKey personnel in a matter of a few weeks, delivering the benefits of full test automation without destroying existing project timelines and with compelling ROI.
  
  
• cFactory™: Fully Automatic Creation of Automated Tests
  By using cFactory™, the Accelerator’s™ 3G automated test case generation platform, you can create new automated test components and test cases for Oracle and non-Oracle systems simply by aiming cFactory™ at the forms and screens that you want automation for. cFactory™ creates the new tests automatically, and without the need for programming or recording.
  
  
• Data-Driven Testing Technology
  The Accelerator™ incorporates 3G data-driven technology based upon the ubiquitous MS Excel platform. The Accelerator™ data management system reads your test cases, and with a single mouse click auto-creates data sheets to hold your testing data. These sheets include visual layout technology, allowing business analysts or subject matter experts to simply enter the data that they want to use for testing. This data is analyzed by the Accelerator™, which automatically re-configures the flow of the test cases to properly utilize the testing data.
  
  
• Keyword-Driven Test Automation
  The Accelerator's™ 3G technology replaces the programming languages of prior test automation tools with non-technical, keyword-driven components. Using a simple drag-and-drop process, users can modify their own automated tests and without the need for technical skills or extensive training.
  
  
• Visual Tracking of Test Results
  The Accelerator™ automatically tracks and records all details of every test run, right down to the individual fields and buttons on each form. A full visual history of each run is stored as well, allowing troubleshooters or auditors to easily see how the application looked at each stage of the testing process.
  
  
• Enterprise Test Management Scheduling
  The Accelerator™ includes an enterprise integration test scheduler, allowing a central testing manager or team to schedule and coordinate different end-to-end integrations tests to run in a given time window. This allows organizations to maximize the use of system resources while still meeting individual team needs.

The Accelerator™ for the Oracle E-Business Suite is built upon HP Software’s Quality Management foundation, including Quality Center, QuickTest Professional and Business Process Testing. TurnKey is also proud to be HP’s sole preferred go-to-market partner for Oracle E-Business Suite testing. In addition to automated functional testing, HP offers a broad range of Quality Management and Operational tools for the E-Business Suite. Additional information is available on the HP website.
