BEAM Test Manager Designed to Help Managers Develop, Clone and Monitor Application Test Plans

Now available, BEAM Test Manager is designed to define, schedule and monitor application testing.

The testing of an enterprise application, during implementation or after an update or upgrade, is a process to ensure that the application produces the expected results after the change. Whether application testing is done manually or with automated scripts, a great many steps need to be managed between a number of people, processes, departments and devices to ensure the application works as expected. BEAM Test Manager provides organizations with the information needed to facilitate these efforts.

The application testing process can be overwhelming and difficult to plan and control. BEAM Test Manager provides new tools to co-ordinate the testing process and to enhance communication and collaboration with test team members.

PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) and BEAM Test

PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) and BEAM Test are two testing tools that were built specifically to work with PeopleSoft/PeopleTools. PTF is delivered with PeopleTools. BEAM Test, from Beacon Services, is the only third-party testing tool with Oracle Validation for PeopleSoft.

PTF and BEAM Test have some similarities. There are also some basic differences, in terms of architecture and processing. We will start with how the two products are similar, and then contrast some of the differences.

There are many other good automated testing tools. Few work well (or at all) with PeopleSoft applications, due to a lack of integration with the unique architecture and metadata of PeopleSoft tools and applications.
