 Comparison Of Oracle Application Testing suite and LoadRunner for Performance Testing?

As you might know Oracle Application Testing suite is a reframed version of e-Test Suite of Empirix (which Oracle bought) and not a well known nor widely used tool compared to HP Loadrunner(earlier Mercury LR). Also it depends on the support that you get when you start the scripting and for Loadrunner you have lot of avaiable resources even if it is for testing Oracle components like Siebel. If you are coming from HP to OAT, can compare the products as

• Oracle Test Manager is what you have HP Quality Center
• Oracle OpenScript is what you have HP Win Runner HP QuickTest Professional
• Oracle Load Testing is what you have HP LoadRunner
