Question by whoopdeedo5555: What is the definition of “Oracles” in the context of a software testing plan.?
I have a Software Testing Plan template and it states “Oracles” a few times. For example, there is a section called Data Integrity Testing with the following subheadings:
Technique Overview
Technique
Oracles
Required Tools
Success Criteria
I need to know what is meant by Oracles. Thanks

Wikipedia defines it as follows:
“An oracle is a mechanism used by software testers and software engineers for determining whether a test has passed or failed.[1] It is used by comparing the output(s) of the system under test, for a given test case input, to the outputs that the oracle determines that product should have. Oracles are always separate from the system under test.”
