PTF Presentation
- 2. Presenters Zach Cutlip Telly Ipock Gasser Elsayed Jamie Scharbrough © Copyright 2011 New Resources Consulting, LLC.
- 3. Agenda • What is PTF? • What are the benefits of using PTF? • Other test automation tools and how they compare with PTF • What are the barriers to implementation? • Setup & Configuration • Live demo on PSHCM 9.2 • Portability of PTF test scripts
- 4. PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) • A testing tool • Allows automation of functional testing • Records steps and playback for testing • Allows for greater efficiency
- 5. Benefits of using PTF • Automates tasks within PeopleSoft • Functional Testing • Increases efficiency and accuracy • Consistency across environments • Reduces testing resources • Ease of migration • Included in PeopleTools (no additional cost) • Recording and Playback • Records the actions of a single user so it can then be tested via playback. • Allows for efficient test maintenance thus reducing costs. • Reports • Allows you to see what changes in the upgrade or implementation will affect your tests in your archives via test maintenance report. © Copyright 2011 New Resources Consulting, LLC.
- 6. PTF vs Other Testing Tools Factors for choosing a test framework o What to Test: functional / regression testing, load / stress testing o How to Test / Approaches: record-and-playback, code-driven, graphical user interface testing, API driven testing o Compatibility / Environment: OS, browsers, desktop vs mobile, languages, etc. o Integrations: other testing or reporting tools, add-ons o Features / Requirements: web based / desktop application, image / object validation, detect certain user actions (drag-and-drop), detect third party objects, etc. o Complexity / Technical Requirements / Technical Support o Cost / Licensing: proprietary vs open source

- 9. PTF vs Other Testing Tools (Con.) Features unique to PTF •Test assets are PeopleTools metadata. o Correlates metadata with existing tests o Assist with Change Impact Analysis •Features that help users manipulate data within the PeopleSoft rowset-oriented data structure. •Ability to run processes through Process Scheduler. •Functionality that interfaces with other PeopleSoft automation tools, such as Data Mover and PsQuery.
- 10. PTF vs Other Testing Tools (Con.) PTF’s Limitations: •Not a user interface or browser testing too. It is unable to validate image appearance, position of data, or online objects. •Not a load testing tool. It replicates the experience of a single user running the application. •Unable to replicate certain types of user actions, such as drag-and-drop. •Unable to recognize or validate certain types of objects from third-party or external application, such as Flash/Flex objects, and data displayed in HTML regions. PTF is designed to validate objects in the PeopleSoft application.
- 11. Barriers to Implementation • Monetary • No cost to users with PeopleTools 8.51 & above • Hardware • Oracle/PeopleSoft • Windows and IE only • Time • Installation - efficient • Configuration - inefficient • Creating Test Cases – efficient depending application • Social/Political • Before 8.52, users used other testing applications or power users to test • Getting users to deviate away from there norm to the new PTF • Now new upgrades are much more efficient • Competition
- 12. Setup & Configuration PTF client connects to the PeopleSoft application database using a secure HTTPS connection through Integration Broker Web Services To configure PTF, Integration Broker must be set up as well. •Navigate PeopleTools, Integration Broker, Configuration, Gateways. Ping Gateway, verify Active return message status. • To connect to PTF test environment, user ID must be associated with PTF User, Editor, or Admin.
- 13. Setup & Configuration Cont’d Configure Browser settings Contact Systems Administrator for the port number and name. For Vidant, the database is PSHRD92, and the server and port are Clochpoint:101.

- 20. Migration Between Environments © Copyright 2011 New Resources Consulting, LLC. • Scripts can be migrated between various environments • Test cases are PeopleTools managed objects • Can be copied similar to: • Record Definitions • SQL Definitions • PeopleCode Programs • Application Designer projects including test cases can be exported to new environments. • Can include tests and test cases in an upgrade project • Challenges arise when there are differences between the metadata. • More Vanilla equals greater ease of migration.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Functional Testing: a software testing process that verify the functions and features of a software system. Functional testing tends to answer the questions like “can the user do this” or “does this particular feature work”. Regression Testing: a software testing that seeks to uncover new software bugs, side-effects, or regressions, in a software system after changes such as upgrades, customizations, patches or configuration changes, have taken place. Load Testing: the process of putting demand on a software system and measuring its response. It is performed to determine a system’s behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation. Stress Testing: a software testing that determines the robustness of software by testing beyond the limits of normal operation. Stress tests commonly put a greater emphasis on robustness, availability, and error handling under a heavy load, than on what would be considered correct behavior under normal circumstances.
- PeopleSoft Object Metadata: menus, components, pages, records, and fields Change Impacts: In the course of customizations and upgrades, changes are made to, among other elements, application menus, components, pages, records, and fields. Tests that were developed prior to these changes may fail when executed against the new application. One way to identify the effects on tests is to run each test against the new application and note where the test fails. This manual process is time-consuming, expensive, and prone to errors. It also fails to identify those areas in the new application that are not covered by existing tests. Because PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) test assets are PeopleTools metadata, PTF is able to automate the process of correlating metadata changes with existing tests. PTF delivers two tools that help test developers to determine the effect of changes: Test maintenance reports: a test maintenance report correlates PeopleTools compare report data with PTF test metadata to identify certain changes to menus, components, pages, records, and fields that may impact the PTF tests. Test coverage reports: a test coverage report correlates PeopleTools project data with PTF test metadata to identify menus, components, pages, records, and fields that are referenced in PTF tests.

- This illustration depicts the PeopleTools elements and the Oracle SES elements interacting to enable the PeopleSoft Search Framework features
- Security Plug-in: This module gets invoked from Search Engine side for a user who initiates a search from an application. Search security framework is responsible for authentication, search user validation and authorization of search query request. Search Engine passes user credentials to PeopleSoft Security Service (Web service) which authorizes the users and get security attribute for that user. Search Results are filtered based on this security attribute. Security Plug-In a part of SES Search Engine and is written in Java. SES comes with built-in plug-ins specifically for PeopleSoft. There are two security plug-ins: PeopleSoft Identity Plug-in and PeopleSoft Authorization Plug-in. PeopleSoft Identity plug-in is responsible for authenticating search users. PeopleSoft Authorization Plug-in is responsible for getting security attributes for search users and filtering search results based on them. Crawler Plug-in: Crawler plug-in is part of SES search engine. The Crawler plug-in is responsible for extracting documents for a source and indexing them. The PeopleSoft crawler-plug-in extracts documents from PSQUERY (each returned row is a document). The Crawler plug-in indexes document search attributes like Title, Summary, search fields (fields to index), and so on. It can also index document-level security attributes if document-level security is being used.
