Your business processes connect Oracle to multiple custom and third-party applications. End-to-end testing is required to ensure these business processes continue working after an Oracle update. But automated end-to-end tests are notoriously flaky and difficult to maintain – and there’s simply not enough time during an update to carry out extensive end-to-end testing manually. In this webinar, we’ll show you how you can use Tricentis Tosca to create resilient, automated end-to-end tests that minimize the risk of undetected defects disrupting your most critical business workflows – without slowing down your release process.

In this session you’ll learn:

A codeless approach for automating testing for even the most complex end-to-end business workflows
How service virtualization can help you minimize testing delays when services are down or applications aren’t ready
Real-world examples of how Tosca’s model-based testing works in a complex, highly integrated Oracle environment to streamline end- to- end testing

SaaS-based analytics and/or machine learning platforms have the potential to provide millions of dollars worth of insight: but they require access to a LOT of your data. The two week implementation promised by the vendor is likely based on the simplest possible integration approach: one which almost certainly doesn't take into account your organization's security posture: compliance rules: or competing capabilities within your organization. This session will walk through one such integration between an on-premises PS and a SaaS analytics/ML platform: paying attention to these complexities.

Managing day to day operations in an ERP system can be challenging in its own right: but trying to keep up with the implementation of three new work management systems: a new business unit: an upgrade to an auxiliary financial management system: your own PUM & PeopleTools Upgrade: AND day to day operations in the same year is exhausting. In my session: I’ll be discussing how we managed to juggle all of that work across a handful of environments in order to hit multiple go-live dates across six months while also supporting production. I’ll start by reviewing our timelines and the conflicting factors in play across these efforts: some fire drills that caused re-planning: and run through diagrams capturing our strategy. I’ll wrap things up with a discussion on how we cleaned up our environments after the go-lives and lessons learned on how we’re moving forward with a better environment strategy. I also expect that I'd sprinkle in a few general lessons learned throughout this whole process as it all took place during my first year as the manager of application development in this space.
