By nature, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are designed to reflect hundreds of technical and functional requirements, each one representing an organizational task or feature that is needed to operate effectively.
In order for a system to be deemed successful upon delivery, it must meet the needs of the business while also maintaining cost and schedule estimates. In other words, these requirements not only need to be properly designed, managed and tested from end to end to verify their functionality and performance, but also the entire process needs to be conducted efficiently.
Because there are so many requirements and iterations of testing—many of which interact with or depend on others—over the course of the design process, automated testing has become a proven method to speed up the process, mitigate the risk of human error and increase the return on investment in performing testing.
If you are considering what automated ERP testing can do for your business, you may have questions. Here are some of the common ones we hear and our answers to them.
With the right tools and the right partner, the process can actually be quite seamless.
An automated testing solution utilizes existing, proven automation frameworks to meet your specific software development lifecycle, organizational structure and overall requirements to make the entire testing approach more efficient.
So whether you are looking for a way to speed up your testing by leveraging built-in best practices or to tailor your existing ERP testing with automation, these modern solutions can handle them both.
One way to answer this question is by exploring how manual tests are different from automated tests.
The short answer is that the tests themselves are the same, but they are just managed, conducted and analyzed differently. Automated ERP testing uses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning instead of your staff. A test management solution powered by automation can take your existing and required tests and automates them to ensure consistent quality, faster testing cycles and higher quality results on the back end.
Whether your organization follows an Agile or Waterfall methodology, and conducts performance, user acceptance, quality assurance, or integration testing, the level of precision and reliability that you need in your ERP testing is going to be the same.
An industry-leading testing automation solution can handle all of these different types of tests, so you can be sure that your ERP system, as delivered, is stable, efficient and performing as expected.
