Test Automation Challenges

The frequent Oracle quarterly updates introduced complexities in keeping up with new test script additions, significantly increasing the maintenance burden.
Oracle Applications’ integration with Salesforce, Coupa, Siebel CRM, and other internal proprietary systems necessitated comprehensive end-to-end testing, presenting a substantial challenge.
Automating Oracle test scenarios across various workflows—such as account reconciliation, financial consolidation, general ledger, accounts payable/receivable, and project portfolio management—proved to be more time-consuming than anticipated, compounded by the absence of an integrated test management tool.
The team encountered difficulties integrating the automation process with JIRA and other project management software, which hindered streamlined operations.
The lack of advanced reporting capabilities made it challenging for management to make data-driven decisions, resulting in inefficiencies.
The existing automation setup did not integrate with CI/CD platforms, which limited the ability to conduct continuous testing effectively.
Understanding and utilizing the current automation framework required a steep learning curve, as it necessitated proficiency in programming languages for successful automation.
