2. Confidential Full and Patchset releases March 2006 – March 2009

Description:
Install, Sanity, Integration, Functional, Regression testing of Oracle Database being developed and tested using Agile Methodology. An Oracle database is a collection of data treated as a unit. The purpose of a database is to store and retrieve related information. A database server is the key to solving the problems of information management. Oracle Database is the first database designed for enterprise grid computing, the most flexible and cost effective way to manage information and applications. Enterprise grid computing creates large pools of industry-standard, modular storage and servers.
Grid computing is a term that has been applied to various architectures designed to deliver the benefits of an IT grid. It is an approach to computing that detaches the software functionality from the specifics of hardware deployment by blending system and storage resources into a continuum of resources that can be allocated to, and de-allocated from, a particular function or functional focus; in this case, a database.
