Does the test connection button in oracle sql developer make an actual connection attempt to the database?

Andrew TerhallDec 8 2023

I have not been able to find documentation on what the test button actually does. I was told recently not to test the database connection to check if the pw has rotated. I was told this was because it is making an authentication attempt that could lockout the database if too many attempts were made. My understanding is that it is a diagnostic tool and should be safe from locking out users. Will failed test attempts lockout a user?
