2. Agenda The challenges IT faces when testing Oracle EBS changes Improving cooperation by business users in the testing process SaaS accelerated manual testing technology
3. Panaya at a Glance Leader in Oracle EBS & SAP SaaS-based Testing and Impact Analysis Automation software Serving customers in 60+ countries 1,000+ enterprise customers, 2,000+ successful ERP projects 3,000+ ERP systems analyzed 500,000+ test cases in past year
4. Constant Need for Change System Consolidation Patches Chart of Account Changes Functional Enhancements IT-Driven Upgrades Mergers & Acquisitions Business-Driven InfrastructureChanges Migrations New Business Processes Regulations
5. Panaya Quality Management Cloud Scope & Accelerate changes in Enterprise Applications, Cutting Cost & Risk Change Impact Simulation Oracle R12 upgrades, point-release upgrades Oracle patches Chart-of-Account (CoA) changes Custom-code releases Code Remediation Collaborative Test Management & Test Acceleration Automated test script creation Automated documentation and test evidence Accelerated manual testing ALM integration (HPQC, Oracle ATS) “Cloud Wisdom” – transforming common practices to best practices

7. The Change Process, Today IT Group Business Users Initiate: IT Requirement Business Requirement Prepare Spec & Scope Plan: Develop Build: Please test Please test Please test Please test Please test Please test Test: Please test Please test Please test Please test Please test Please test Please test Limited knowledge of real-life business processes… Which constantly change! Please test Please test IT Manual Testing Automatic Testing Off-Shore Testing
8. The Constraints of Change, Today Compliance Methodologies Sponsor IT has no other choice But to follow these practices
9. Enable IT and Businessto Accelerate Change, Together
10. Manual & Automated Testing Regression testing of static, critical business processes Unattended execution (“lights-out”) Developed by test engineers Unit testing, functional testing, user acceptance testing,regression testing Performed by functional experts & business key users AutomatedTesting Manual Testing Performed by HP QTP, OATS, …
11. Panaya Manages & Accelerates Manual Testing Regression testing of static, critical business processes Unattended execution (“lights-out”) Developed by test engineers Unit testing, functional testing, user acceptance testing,regression testing Performed by functional experts & business key users AutomatedTesting Accelerated Manual Testing Managed & Accelerated by Panaya Performed by HP QTP, OATS, …
12. Competing Forces of Testing Cost Redundant testing Creating & maintaining test scenarios Executing & documenting manual tests Quality & Risk Time toMarket Testing cycles take too long Capturing business process knowhow Lack of collaboration with the business for test execution Scoping what to test based on risk Capturing test evidence for auditing Eliminating critical production issues Test process governance
13. ERP Manual Testing Challenges 52% Capturing business process knowledge 43% Maintaining Test Documentation Creating Test Documentation 41% Test Execution 38% 38% Scoping & prioritizing the test plan 20% Test projectmanagement Passing Audits 6% Source: Panaya ERP survey
14. Customers’ Testing Methodologies 20% Ad-Hoc 30% Scripted 50% Organized
15. Testing Methodologies Characteristics Ad-hoc Oracle EBS system is stable, minimal changes Use email to communicate testing tasks No test catalog (no test scenarios) Test runs need not be documented No test automation
16. How Panaya Addresses Your Testing Needs Ad-hoc Visibility into testing progress Visibility into business process testing coverage Improved test run documentation Improved defect management Specific implementation methodology: onboarding & ongoing
17. Testing Methodologies Characteristics Organized Excel to manage & track testing process Rely on Business Process owners knowledge (SME) to execute the test Test scenarios documented up to the transaction level in Word/Excel Low use of test automation
18. How Panaya Addresses Your Testing Needs Organized Easily manage, assign, and track testing activities Automate test evidence documentation Manage defects Building block for regression test suite Specific implementation methodology: onboarding & ongoing
19. Testing Methodologies Characteristics Scripted Excel to manage & track testing process Tests executed by non-SME (QA Team, Offshore or System Integrator) Test scenarios documented to the screen/field level in Word/Excel Likely to use test automation
20. How Panaya Addresses Your Testing Needs Scripted Easily manage, assign, and track testing activities Accelerate test scenario creation, test execution, defect reporting, and test evidence documentation Manage defects Building block for regression test suite Specific implementation methodology: onboarding & ongoing
21. Panaya Collaborate Testing - Demo
22. Recording Test Scenarios Click to start recording your test scenario
23. Follow Your Business Process
24. Panaya Automatically Generates a Test Script
25. Tailor Test Script Details Add manual steps or external systems Attach documents (e.g. test variations, test data) Add comments and special instructions Append more business functions
26. Easily Export to Microsoft® Word or Excel
27. Manage Test Catalog
28. Manage Test Catalog Details
29. Integrated Test Coverage Assessment (via automated impact analysis simulation) Panaya impact analysis identifies required unit tests for project 3. Adjust testing scope risk of failure (for upgrade or patching) business usage Panaya code analysis automatically identifies which functional tests are covering those unit tests
30. Integrated Test Coverage Assessment (via automated impact analysis simulation) Panaya impact analysis identifies project code corrections impacting each functional scenario Panaya marks functional scenario as “not ready to test” due to pending project code corrections. When code corrections completed, status changes to “ready to test”, and tester is notified.
31. Accelerated Functional Test Execution Select scenario Open test task Assign test run to user
32. Automated Test Evidence Recording Tester’s task list Initiate test evidence recorder Record Oracle session
33. Functional Test ExecutionManage defects & re-test Report test failure & Create defect Assign and manage defect View test evidence Re-test and record evidence
34. Functional Test ExecutionAdhoc/Instant Testing Assign Adhoc Test Tester’s task list Initiate test evidence recorder Record Oracle session
35. Monitor Test Progress
36. Panaya myTestBrowserless Desktop Web Application Tasks are fed to Business User desktops Testers don’t need to go to ALM or Panaya portal
37. Running a Scripted Test IT or Business User is assigned a task from ALM User selects Manual Run & Document Original Script is presented User completes testing (Panaya will sync with ALM)
38. Panaya also works with other ALMs(HP Quality Center or Oracle ATS) Use Panaya Test Builder to build your functional test scripts automatically creates HP/OATS test designs, with step-by-step details HPQC/OATS manages test results and defect management
39. Key Takeaways Even with Test Automation, Manual Testing still dominates  Accelerate the process! You rely on your users to help with the testing Make it easy for them! SaaS is easy to start; easy to deploy and easy to manage  Test drive Panaya’s Collaborative Manual Testing!
