Testing in the Oracle BRM Environment – A Vital Function

Real-time revenue generation with OBRM requires that multiple functions to operate flawlessly. From managing data generation, data capture, and secure data collection to analysis of revenue streams for customer-centric industries, Prakat has several solutions to assist OBRM clients including finance, communications, and media companies.

Prakat accelerates time to deployment that reduces posting of go-live “incidents” or “bugs”. Doing so boosts Prakat’s BRM business clients’ implementations and their confidence of aligning with Prakat for this critical business service.

There are four facets of the Oracle BRM life cycle that Prakat tests intently for their clients. These mission-critical components include:

  • Revenue Generation
  • Revenue Capture
  • Revenue Collection
  • Revenue Analysis

Within these four focus areas, Prakat tests end-to-end processes of OBRM systems:

BRM UI (User Interfaces) Testing

Any transaction by Prakat’s clients or client representatives occur through the clients’ respective graphical user interface (GUI). Prakat’s BRM UI Testing focuses on functional modules where client representatives and end-user customers access the system to ensure that there are no gaps in functionality proving ease of access.

BRM API (Integration/Interface Points) Testing

Some of the complex actions performed on a client’s account must be handled from the backend applications center. These actions would occur either directly from the client’s, the client representative’s or from system-to-system environments. This category of API call is particularly useful by completing the action while simultaneously updating the BRM database.

BRM Server Component Testing

The focus of Server Component Testing is to ensure that all the BRM server components and processes are functioning as per the preset format. This includes creating, updating, and deleting customer accounts, and managing the entire customer profile cycle. This includes verifying if a file is generated, validated, and is moved to the respective directory when an action is performed.

BRM Database Testing

One of the major components in the Oracle system is the BRM database. This is the central storehouse of all critical customer information details. This level of information includes account details, subscription details, payment type, balances, billing details, and invoice details. All the data manipulation in the BRM database is monitored and validated by Prakat at every step of the information lifecycle.

Prakat’s thorough knowledge of Oracle BRM, from testing to seamless operation, maximizes benefits of the system’s revenue capture functionality. Prakat’s trusted professional services saves their clients vast amounts of time and prevents unnecessary “bugs” that negatively impact the customer experience.
