In its January 2008 report, "Oracle Real Application Testing - Business agility through superior testing,"
research firm, Ovum Summit, praised the new Oracle Database option as a way for businesses to achieve a new level of "adaptability to change".
"Oracle Real Application Testing, a key feature of Oracle Database 11g, allows rapid and safe adoption of
infrastructure technology changes by reducing the testing effort and time required to ensure the robustness and quality of
the changes before they go into production," says the report. "Feedback from participants in the Oracle Database
11g early adopter program indicates that tasks that previously took many weeks can be reduced to a few days."
Ovum Summit noted the following benefits:
- Greater agility—Oracle Real Application Testing allows for greater business agility by reducing the time required to test and QA system changes by as much as 80%
- Lower costs—Oracle Real Application Testing capabilities can lower infrastructure testing costs by as much as 70% for some customers
- Reduced Risk—by improving the ability to accurately assess the effects of changes, the new features will allow companies to mitigate risks by reducing the number of unexpected outages and by improving the service quality of their IT operation
- Enhanced efficiency—by intelligently automating many manual and complex testing tasks, Oracle Real Application Testing capabilities allow junior DBAs to perform tasks that currently demand the attention of senior DBAs and enhance the overall efficiency of IT engineers
