Oracle Retail Merchandising Test Packs

 

Minimise business impact whilst staying 100% current.

With mandatory updates for Oracle SaaS, businesses are required to accept multiple new releases per year, with a final acceptance of the platform upgrade within 90 days.

To test, investigate, fix, deploy and re-test the updates, typically a retailer would need a full in-house testing and development team to ensure seamless business operations.

Our Quickstart Automation Test Packs, continuously updated and enhanced, enable retailers to validate monthly service releases and multiple SaaS versions, quickly and efficiently. They can be easily adopted by your in-house testers or through OLR support contracts.

Retailers need to be certain there are no issues before deploying changes or upgrades.

Our test packs are specially designed to test Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Sale functionality and contain pre-built test scenarios like opening & closing a store and register, running a full set of transactions, printing the receipt, completing returns and many more, to ensure optimal performance of your Xstore POS.

By running these tests, you can ensure that your application can handle all the unique user interactions effectively. The packs are fully customisable to your business needs, and we can add additional testing scenarios suited to your specific requirements.

Functional Testing

In retail, functional testing is vital for ensuring software operates seamlessly, meeting both business and customer needs. It ensures application integrity, enhances user experience, and optimises development costs.

Challenges include testing across platforms and devices, complexity of e-commerce apps, and testing under varying loads. OLR's testing methodologies address these challenges, ensuring robust, user-friendly applications.

Non-Functional Testing

It is imperative to know that your applications and infrastructure will remain up and acceptably performant for both internal and customer facing applications.

Capacity and performance testing should be considered from a number of perspectives - max transactions per hour at peak, page load times, response times, sustained customer traffic over a long period of time and user concurrency.

Load, stress and soak testing of well documented non-functional performance requirements are necessary to ensure that your applications remain predictably responsive with no degradation in expected performance throughout these peak periods. OLR performance testers are skilled in the use of multiple industry leading performance testing tools and can help you devise and execute a professional performance testing strategy.

 

Test automation offers a multitude of benefits that revolutionize the software development lifecycle:

  • Shift testing left in the software development lifecycle

  • Drive efficiencies in your testing practice and project delivery

  • Break into new technical testing areas (mobile, API, database, native apps)

  • Fastest continuous quality feedback

  • Increase the transparency of the testing process

  • Increase business confidence for production releases

  • Optimise your speed to market

  • Lower your risk

  • Lower your total cost of ownership
