Join us at the Quest Blueprint conference for an enlightening session by Texas CPA, where they will share their organization’s transformative journey towards automating their ERP testing process.
The organization faced significant challenges with managing manual test scripts and test evidence for their Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System. Testing required to support the application changes and dependent hub agencies for a highly customized ERP application is complex and needs extensive regression testing and significant test evidence documentation. Manual testing covered this requirement however it was time consuming, person dependent, inconsistent, and varied based on change and functionality, making it difficult for the QA team to validate and sign-off on testing results, leading to substantial rework.
The organization embarked on a transformative journey to automate testing scripts from 7+ years of manual testing. The business challenge revolved around creating a standard testing platform and evaluating thousands of test evidence and test cases for automation.
Attendees of this session will gain insights into the challenges faced by the organization, the approach taken to automate the testing process, and the benefits achieved through modern data-driven techniques. The speakers will share valuable lessons learned, best practices, and the overall impact of this automation journey on the organization’s confidence in their complex testing process.
They will showcase how they utilized tools with Machine Learning capability and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to overcome challenges, with which the project team has built a reusable, data-driven testing framework with 80% coverage on overall functionality.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a real-world case study and discover how automation can revolutionize testing processes, leading to increased efficiency and accuracy.
