Agenda
Session Agenda Hindsight is 20/20: How to improve testing for upgrades and implementations Five things that we would like to drill into your heads  before  leaving today´s webinar A look at case studies and FAQ’s Q&A session
Hindsight is 20/20 – How you Can Learn From What We Have Learned...
PS testing is not easy – but can be made easier via reusable manual and automating testing assets – Why reinvent the wheel? Testing  never  start as early as it should:  early test team and interface owner involvement needed (agile often exarcebates this problem) Data refresh strategy is often an afterthough – define this at the start! Development should not be the only testing team during an implementation or upgrade Familiarity with AS-IS and Fit Gap documents are key for solid testing What we have learned from our PeopleSoft Engagements
5 Things We Want You To Remember
PS implementations and upgrades  require   independent testing Test team should be involved from requirement gathering for  AS-IS  and  Fit Gap  documents  Data refreshing strategy  needs to be part of test strategy/planning documents  SIT testing needs to  connect to interface owners early  for environment and data readiness Automation by itself is not the solution  to all your testing problems:  domain expertise and strategic vendors are key Five Things You Should Know
PeopleSoft Testing FAQ’s
FAQ’s  Is automation the solution to all my testing problems? Does PTAK offer a solution to validate Payroll? Is it possible to test an integration of two PS modules using PTAK? How expansive is your test case coverage? What does PTAK offer for manual and automated testing? Will this webinar solve all my PS problems?
Automation & PTAK
PTAK- Key Differentiators Dedicated  PeopleSoft Testing Practice with over 100 + PeopleSoft test consultants Comprehensive set of manual test scenarios for major modules of PeopleSoft HR and Financial product lines Independent of regions, products and platforms Jumpstarts  the testing activity with  traceability to the functional requirements BPT Accelerators allow non-technical Subject Matter Experts (SME) to create fully functional end-to-end business process tests.  Pre-built components are easily uploaded to an HP Quality Center environment in minutes.  Enables your testing teams to begin the test design process earlier in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Testing challenges for PeopleSoft Apps Traditional manual/automation approaches fall short Test for business applications: top 5 issues Maintaining tests artifacts as the application changes Creating test components quickly for a new module or version Modeling complex business application scenarios Enabling less technical users to create tests Create test automation suite & support operations in parallel
Testing Enterprise Applications - 3 Generations Testing  Effort and Risk 3rd  Generation  “ Test Acceleration” Tools:  BPT Accelerators from Hexaware Library or pre-built test components for ERP apps Automatically scans the ERP metadata to generate all necessary test components Eliminates record/replay activities Significantly reduces upfront development time while speeding time to ROI Greatly reduces ongoing maintenance due to re-scanning capabilities  1 st  Generation  “ Record and Replay” Tools: WinRunner,   QuickTest Pro,   Rational Robot Required many man hours to record and program each script A lot of duplication of activities High degree of ongoing maintenance Required programming support 2 nd   Generation  “ Business Process” Tools: BPT from HP Allowed for componentizing pieces of test cases Reduced development time of test cases Minimized maintenance due to component concept “ Drag and drop” tests  Still had to record test scripts Maintenance at script level still required Required significant programming support
