Oracle has evolved beyond being merely an ERP system. The brain of the intelligent organization, Oracle’s digital core, offers an ERP solution with hundreds of cross-industry features. With so many integrations, processes, patches, and new releases in an Oracle environment, validating the complete system without any automated tools will be challenging. Choosing which of the many Oracle regression testing tools is best for the diverse Oracle environment can be difficult. It can increase delivery speed, reduce business risks, and cut testing expenses.

Oracle regression testing tools should be evaluated with the following factors in mind:

- The tool you use should be familiar with Oracle and comprehend how Oracle elements differ from typical web apps. It should include capabilities like an Oracle-specific record/playback engine that enables simple manual script creation.

- Your solution should allow you to execute tests without coding experience and offer a no-code or low-code user interface that allows manual testers and non-technical individuals to set up and create test cases immediately.

- Your solution should have a few standard pre-built libraries for Oracle Cloud apps that can speed up automated regression testing.

- Your tool should offer test reuse and simple script maintenance to save time and effort.

- It should be able to locate the impacted test cases for each Oracle Cloud upgrade or new release; the tool should contain features like change management and effect analysis.

- The solution should function with all web, mobile, desktop apps, and other cutting-edge technologies. It should offer different channels for accessing your Oracle Cloud.

- Thanks to the tool’s user-friendly UI, any regular user or tester should be able to follow where the test case failed.

- Without needing extra coding knowledge, the product should provide integration with other test management and CI technologies.

- Additional Oracle Cloud testing-related functionality, like various module reports, security validation, payroll data validation, etc., should be provided by the tool.
