The document discusses testing methods for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. It outlines that testing is important to validate system functionalities, configuration, and performance to ensure high proficiency for end users. The document proposes testing an ERP system through various methods, including functional testing, integration testing, load testing, simulation, and performance testing using a web application stress tool. The testing would be done on the local network environment to identify any issues early and improve the ERP system.

ion
Testing of the software and system is important
for investigating the functions and
effectiveness of purpose for which the system
is designed. The major use of testing
techniques and tool is to gain the information
about the quality, reliability, accuracy and
errors of software. The present report will
analyze the testing methods and techniques
that have been used for analyzing the
performance, gaps in functions, optimization
of process, adaptation and usability testing of
ERP.

4.  There are several issues like integration of
modules, data related issues, performance,
accessibility, security issues and
customisations that affects the implementation
of ERP.
 The study will identify the testing methods
which could be used for identifying the issues
in an ERP implementation.
 Understanding of these issues is important
for applying the appropriate testing and
overcome the gaps.

5.  The scope of the current study is to
analyze the different testing
methods which could be used for
testing an ERP system.
 The study would also propose a
testing process for the testing of an
ERP system.

6. Background
 The ERP system is implemented to
serve benefits to the users of an
organization. Therefore, it is required
that each module is tested for its
functionality.
 The testing of ERP system is important
to indentify the issues which could prove
to be costly in future.
 Testing an ERP system requires several
types of testing like user, functional,

7. Testing phase of the ERP system implementation is
important
to validate the functionalities and configuration of
the system
and to deliver high proficiency at end user.
 Functional Testing
 Integration Testing
 Developer Side Testing
 User Testing
 Load Testing
 Simulation

8.  Check the installation and configuration
of the servers
 Performance Testing
 Functional Testing
 Integration Testing
 Simulation

9.  For the performance testing, a Web
Application Stress tool by Microsoft would be
used.
 The tool offers a user interface using which a
stress test could be executed.
 In this a web link is accessed by web clients
and performance is assessed.
 The objective of the performance testing is to
test the web pages of the ERP application.

10. Environment for testing
 The application would be tested on the local
network environment

12.  While creating a script, following are the options
which a user has:

13.  The report is available in the software which
presents the statistics like total number of
requests, failures and success.

14.  Testing is an important element of system
development and implementation that helps to
maintain the effectiveness as well as improves
the performance in terms of accuracy of
information, usability and functionality according
to needs of clients.
 According to research it is been carried out that
testing of ICT system both pre and post
implementation helps to analyze the
performance.
 The major impact of testing is on the usability of
ERP system as the factors like configuration, data
processing and operational activities need to as
per the customer expectation
