Comparing Oracle Forms Replay and Record TrueLogs

Open a TrueLog with TrueLog Explorer.

When testing Oracle Forms applications, differences can occur in corresponding control values between replay and record TrueLogs. More severe errors can also result in differences between record and replay TrueLogs (for example, a message box might indicate that a duplicate record has been entered (likely because a required input-data customization has not been performed on the test script).

  1. Click Analyze Test. The Workflow - Analyze Test dialog box opens.
  2. Click Compare your test. The associated record and replay TrueLogs open in compare view. The Step through TrueLog dialog box also opens.
  3. Select a criteria by which to search:
    • Forms windows
    • API calls
    • Errors
  4. Click Find Next. The first set of corresponding Forms windows, API calls, or errors in the record and replay TrueLogs are displayed.
  5. Compare the states of the controls to see if there are differences. TrueLog Explorer highlights any name or control value that changes between record and replay. This helps you identify where customizations may be necessary and where verifications may be beneficial.
  6. Complete any required customizations (based on differences you have discovered).
    1. Click Try Script Run.
    Tests to see if the customizations run without error.
  7. Repeat this procedure as many times as is required until all necessary customizations have been added.
  8. Click Compare Mode to disable compare mode.
