Hindsight is 20/20 – How you Can Learn From What We Have Learned...
What we have learned from our PeopleSoft Engagements • 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
Five Things You Should Know • PS implementations and upgrades requireindependent 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
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?
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)
