I'm relatively new to the process of editing and would appreciate comments, resources, and instructions on how to improve this article. Things I know need work:
I'm also unfamiliar with the process of creating a new article with an ambiguous name (there are many instances of Oracle (disambiguation) pages already. I've tried to be bold so far. What have I missed?
Thanks!

Yahoo! has plans to close Geocities on October 26, 2009. When that happens http://www.geocities.com/model_based_testing/shoestring.htm , one of this article's references may be lost. The author seems to have created a new domain, http://www.model-based-testing.org/, but it's not clear if this article will be brought over in time. There's also a copy on StickyMinds if we need one. -- Walter Görlitz ( talk) 06:30, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
The article states that the oracle should compute the desired result. This is inaccurate. Itus sufficient to check whether the computed answer is correct. This may be much more efficient. For instance for a square root function you would test if the square of the result is very close to the argument. This is cheaper (and possibly smarter? Than recomputing the root in a different way, 129.27.33.200 ( talk) 14:25, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Walter Görlitz, thanks for fixing the section headings. Were you wondering if the article should be moved somewhere else? Any thoughts on where? Yorkyabroad ( talk) 11:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
I decided to move it since that's what the literature calls it. Articles should be at the WP:COMMONNAME, not one that makes sense in relation to other terms. And since the literature usually calls a test oracle, especially with Kaner and others in the context school, I thought it appropriate. Moving it back wouldn't be too difficult, but I don't actually like at the old title. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 23:14, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
