Co-Presenter: Chelsa Vinklarek, State of Texas
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.

Oracle has slowly transitioned most of their user-facing transactions to fluid objects/pages as fluid objects are designed to render more consistently across devices. Additionally: Northwestern has transitioned all other user-facing transactions to Fluid Pages. In 2022: a Fluid Requisition Discovery project was done to identify configurations/customizations that would be necessary to support the purchasing business process at Northwestern. Discovery included development to bring over configs and customizations currently in place in the Classic pages: functional analysis as well as User Acceptance Testing.In January of 2023: Northwestern went live with Fluid Requisitions but kept Classic Requisitions available to ease the transition for users as well as work out any additional bugs not found during the discovery and implementation phases. Configurations/customizations that had to be developed in Fluid Requisitions included but weren’t limited to: Making Supplier required: Disabling Unused Menu Items: Custom Field Labels and Look-ups: Integration with Third Party Marketplace: Removed Ability for Users to Editing Supplier/Item Info on Catalog Requisitions.During the transition phase while both Classic and Fluid Requisitions are still available: the most substantial issue discovered in Fluid Reqs was that users were not able to resubmit a Denied Requisition. With Classic Requisitions: we had a workaround to edit price or quantity which would retrigger workflow. This workaround did not work in Fluid Requisitions for multi-line requisitions. Oracle provided a workaround for Fluid which included adding/editing the Justification Comments which then re-triggered workflow. To help make this apparent to users: we implemented a customization which requires Justification Comments for all denied fluid requisitions.Now that we believe that we’ve worked out any roadblocks for users: we plan to discontinue Classic Requisitions as the end of this calendar year.
