  • The most relevant topics (based on weighting and matching to search terms) are listed first in search results
Topics are ranked in search results by how closely they match your search terms
  • A match on the entire phrase you typed
  • A match on part of the phrase you typed
  • A match on ALL of the terms in the phrase you typed
  • A match on ANY of the terms in the phrase you typed

Note: Matches in titles are always highly ranked.

    Administering the Automated Test Framework

    Enable or disable the Automated Test Framework, modify retention policies, move tests between instances, control user access to the Automated Test Framework, and create custom test step configurations and step environments.

    For details about individual properties that control how the Automated Test Framework works, see Properties.

    • Creating custom test step configurations

      Step configuration records (or step configs) define how each step type behaves. You can create new step configurations that define custom steps that run on the server.

    • Working with test step templates

      Test step templates contain a list of steps to be added all at once to an automated test.

    • Enable or disable executing Automated Test Framework tests

      Allow or prevent tests and test suites from executing on this instance.

    • Modify data retention policy for ATF test results

      Modify the Auto Flush data retention policy, which designates how long the system retains data, and referencing data, for test and test suite results. You can change the frequency of flushing for the sys_atf_test_result or sys_atf_test_suite_result base tables. This setting controls how far back in time test result data is available.

    • Manage status and retention policies for automated test client runners

      Modify how often active client test runners report in to the system and how long the system retains records for inactive client test runners.

    • Move automated tests from one instance to another

      Move automated tests from one instance to another using the normal process for update sets.

    • Compare results and execution times for different automated test and suite results

      You can compare execution times for different runs of an automated test or automated test suite. You can also compare results over time for a single automated test suite.

    • Administering REST test step configurations

      Set request and response payload sizes, filter request and response headers, and create basic auth profiles.

    • Optimizing automatic test performance

      You can troubleshoot automatic test performance by inspecting system transaction log records and potentially shorten execution time by adjusting how often automatic tests capture screenshots.

    • Working with scheduled test suites

      You can schedule a test suite to run at a specified date and time.
