The framework provides a range of features for creating and executing tests, including data-driven testing, test suites, and reporting capabilities to analyze test results and identify any issues or defects.

How to use PeopleSoft Test Framework?

To use the PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF), first ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and access to the application. Begin by creating a test case in the PTF client, recording the necessary steps for the specific business process you want to test. Use the Test Recorder feature to capture the sequence of actions, such as entering data, navigating through pages, or clicking buttons. After recording, refine and enhance your test script using the PTF client's script editor, incorporating error handling, checkpoints, and parameterization as needed. Finally, execute the test case to validate the functionality of your PeopleSoft application, monitoring the test results for any discrepancies or issues that may arise. PTF allows for the automation of functional testing, streamlining the process and ensuring consistent results.

How to install PeopleSoft Test Framework?

To install PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF), you must first verify that your PeopleSoft application is compatible with the PTF version you plan to use. Download the appropriate PTF installer from Oracle Support, which includes both the PTF client and the necessary database objects. Proceed by running the installer on a Windows machine that has access to your PeopleSoft application. Follow the installation prompts and configure the PTF client to connect to your PeopleSoft environment by providing the required information, such as environment URL, user credentials, and database connection details. Once the installation is complete, run the PTF client to start creating and executing test cases. Remember to grant the necessary permissions to users who will be utilizing PTF in your organization.
