Parasoft Corporation, leading provider of automated solutions and infrastructure services that improve software quality and the development process, today announced Parasoft SOAtest-Oracle Fusion Edition: a full-lifecycle quality platform that delivers a continuous quality process for ensuring secure, reliable, compliant applications and business processes. It provides enterprises working with Oracle applications and middleware an integrated solution for everything from end-to-end functional testing, to load & performance testing, to Application Behavior Virtualization.

“Organizations working with Oracle’s best-of-breed application infrastructure foundation are clearly committed to delivering extremely reliable, efficient, and agile business applications”

Parasoft SOAtest-Oracle Fusion Edition facilitates testing and visibility at every level of the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack. “Organizations working with Oracle’s best-of-breed application infrastructure foundation are clearly committed to delivering extremely reliable, efficient, and agile business applications,” explained Adam Kolawa, Parasoft CEO. “We help them satisfy these goals in several ways. We reduce the complexity of testing the complex transactions that pass through Oracle-driven enterprise environments.

We continuously validate functionality and performance at multiple levels. And we help teams quickly pinpoint the root cause of any problems that are detected.”

Parasoft’s specific support for applications built on top of the Oracle WebLogic application server starts with the code and extends to load testing and performance monitoring. It includes:

• Validating transactions that touch Oracle databases.
• Providing visibility into Oracle Service Bus workflows during test execution.
• Automating UI actions on portal and enterprise web apps.
• Streamlining SOA quality governance by integrating with Oracle Registry/Repository.
• Automating quality activities by integrating with AmberPoint.
• Automating service virtualization and stubbing around Oracle BPEL process manager and BPM transactions.

The integrated solution can talk natively with Oracle components. Built-in support is also provided for packaged applications such as Siebel CRM, Oracle Business Suite.

www.iquate.com announced today that following a comprehensive nine month review and testing process, iQSonar is the first third-party tool to be verified by Oracle’s License Management Services (LMS) group, as having the detail and level of accuracy needed to support an effective Oracle license management process.

Oracle’s LMS group assists companies in managing their Oracle software license risk by ensuring Oracle customers are correctly licensed for the software they are using. However, one of the key challenges for LMS and their customers is establishing an accurate inventory of Oracle software in use within complex IT networks.

iQSonar automates the process of uncovering all information on installation and usage of Oracle database software, options and management packs across physical and virtual/partitioned Unix and Windows platforms in large, complex networks.

This formal verification by Oracle LMS assures customers that the information on Oracle software deployment and usage produced by iQSonar will be accepted by Oracle as accurate and comprehensive.

“Oracle licensing is complex. As a result Oracle customers sometimes pay for software that is not being used, or are unintentionally using software they haven’t paid for”, said Pat Durkin, iQuate CEO “iQSonar automates the discovery and analysis of Oracle software on customer networks. Armed with accurate data, Oracle customers can now ensure they are making well informed decisions on their spend and remain solidly in control of their license risk.”

Inventory carried out manually or with non verified tools risks inaccuracy and typically involves spreadsheets and months of effort. iQSonar automates this task, saving time and providing reports in a format directly accepted by Oracle as an accurate statement of software deployment.

Online Database Functions Testing Tool

One of the key factors in building software applications is development time.  One of the solutions to reducing development time is to use user friendly software development tools which help the developer complete the job quickly.  In any software application there may be many database functions; these functions will be tested several times when they are used in many places in the application.  Early testing helps to lay cleaner code and saves time in further stages of the application build.

Traditionally, testing the function meant launching SQL Plus then typing the SQL commands.  This tool enables testing database functions with mouse clicks; it is very convenient and should save application development/testing time.  The tool supports Oracle and SQL Server databases; it can also extend to other databases such as DB2 and Informix with minor modifications.
