There’s no doubt that automated testing is more efficient than manual testing. However, many SAP customers are hesitant to implement SAP test automation. According to a recent SAP Insights report, more than 45% of SAP users said that a lack of automated testing of their SAP apps was a major concern, while even more respondents were unaware of the risks that are associated with manual testing.

Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud Migration Testing Types

Testing is crucial during the migration of the legacy application to the Cloud without any data loss or downtime. So analyzing and determining which testing strategy to employ while performing migration is critical to business success. Enterprises must invest quality time and effort to establish a proper migration testing plan. A well-defined migration testing strategy is essential to mitigating the risks involved and delivering a successful migration. It comprises of three phases the Pre-Migration, In-Migration, and Post-Migration. We have already given a brief introduction to the Pre-Migration readiness checklist in our E-Book. In this blog, we’ll break down what migration testing types entail for the rest two phases.

Let’s start with the testing types involved in the In-Migration testing phase:

Configuration Testing – Configuration testing helps in evaluating the immediate or long term effects of configuration changes on the system’s behaviour and performance and find for the combinations under which the system can work without any flaws or issues while matching its functional requirements.

Data Validation Testing – Data Validation testing allows you to make sure that the data which you’re dealing with is complete and accurate. For any discrepancy in the report being migrated, the system will display errors that have occurred during the migration process. To receive an accurate report, issues will have to be resolved.

When you perform follow-up tests Post-Migration testing comes into the picture which will give a clear idea of various types of testing that gets covered here to be called Cloud Ready Transition. This phase of testing should include:

System Integration Test – SIT or System Integration Testing is the process of comprehensive testing performed on the application software which is composed of many sub-systems. Systems Integration Testing looks after software module dependencies whether they are functioning properly and also if the data integrity is preserved between distinct modules of the whole system.

User Acceptance Test – This is the final phase of any software development life cycle(SDLC), this process plays an important role as it validates whether all the business requirements are in sync before the release. Before the software is released in the market, the User Acceptance Test has a wider role to play in ensuring whether all the functional specifications defined by the product owner is present.

Security Validation – Security validation discovers potential threats that a user could face. It allows an organization to test an attack in their own environment safely and provide them with evidence of whether this attack can be prevented. The process ensures if the security systems satisfy the requirements and the product quality actually meets the client’s needs.

Reports Validation – Validation provides input on whether the product built is up to mark. This process validates the actual and expected output of the software and ensures that the product meets the user’s requirements.

Business Process Testing – Functional validation or cloud-ready validation assesses production readiness of migrated applications. It is fundamental to verify if various aspects of the migrated applications are performing as per SLA’s. For an effective Oracle Cloud migration, validate SaaS/Cloud services functions, and perform end-to-end application’s functions validation.

Interface Testing – Cloud migration comprises moving data along with managing a range of variables such as – security, authentication, integration, compatibility, testing, and monitoring over time. All the interfaces and systems are covered while planning for integration testing like Middleware’s, Databases. Key areas of testing should include Real-time/Near real-time processing of requests, large dataset file processing, oracle sales Cloud, HCM, and ERP Cloud Adapters.

Reports Validation Testing – Reports Validation is critical to identify a pre-conversion validation plan which relies heavily on the review of FBDI load errors as they occur, resulting in a scramble late in the project to review and repair records. This is followed by a disjointed post-migration validation process that involves spot-checking records from the front end, ad hoc Excel dumps, and a comparison between legacy and Oracle Cloud reports:

Security Testing – The objective of the security architecture is to enable you to maintain your security posture when running Oracle E-Business Suite and associated applications in Oracle Cloud. Even though you may be reducing the overhead of building and maintaining data center infrastructure, you still need unparalleled control and transparency over what you’re running in the cloud.

Regression Testing – End to end regression validation should include testing of configuration, data, and code migrations. Tests should include managed customizations and configurations along with validation across multiple locations.

Our recommendation of shifting left ensures early detection of defects in the developmental stage which ensures quality delivery and zero risks in the testing phases. The varied testing processes take care of individual aspects involved in the detailed validation check. Enterprises planning to migrate to Oracle Cloud should adopt the above testing process to achieve a stable migration that would allow unhindered business continuity.

Workday Test Accelerator

Automated Workday Test Accelerator –Testing Workday the Smart way

Last few years have seen an increase in the demand for cloud-based enterprise applications and one of the biggest trend seen is enterprises moving to cloud hosted HRMS like Workday. No wonder workday has managed to capture around 15% of HRMS market share in a short span of time.

Having worked with multiple customers in past helping them in testing and validation across the board for their Workday implementations, we have seen IT teams struggle constantly to get their Workday test strategy right. Be it defining required test coverage for Workday Security Configuration Validation or arranging Key user’s bandwidth for doing UAT. And one activity teams struggle the most with is the time they end up putting (or wasting) in doing regression testing again and again.

There is a huge scope of reducing redundancy and improving productivity if we can build a Workday Test Accelerator that can automate most of the repetitive testing task from Day one and adapt to changing business requirements. And that’s the inspiration behind OpKey WorkTest – Our Automated Workday Test Accelerator

Workday and the need for continuous testing

Any Workday implementation (or rather: Any Successful workday implementation) require continuous testing. We have seen a lot of people asking the question – “Workday has tested their application. Why should we test it”? The answer is – We are not testing Workday as such but testing our Business process and security roles configurations in Workday. This means we have to test when we configure our required Business processes and security configuration in Workday, we test again when we change tweak them and most importantly we test and certify when Workday does it releases.

Now, one option is to do this continuous Workday testing the traditional way i.e. manually. But more and more enterprises are realizing that manual testing for Workday is a huge drag on time and budgets (not to mention Employee morale and productivity). Level of testing required in ensuring a consistent experience across user is best done through Workday Test Automation.

And that is exactly where an Automated Workday test accelerator helps

Workday Test Accelerator – The right choice

Workday Test Accelerator, as the name suggests is a pre-built Set of automated Business components, Keywords and other relevant utilities that can accelerate your Workday test automation initiative and helps you achieve faster returns for your testing dollars And in case you are wondering why you should consider using a Workday Test Accelerator rather than investing in setting up your own test automation team and build test scripts from scratch, consider this stat – Out of 27 HR IT directors we interviewed, 11 said they have tried doing some sort of Workday test automation internally. And only 3 of those 11 said they were confident of achieving RoI within 9-12 months of starting their Workday Test Automation program. Going with a prebuilt automated test accelerator would help you significantly reduce the timeframe to achieve your ROI for Workday automation initiative. In-fact 70% of our Workday customers have been able to show positive RoI within first 3 months of implementing OpKey’s WorkTest. So, what should be the factor you should consider before deciding on using a Workday Test Accelerator? Again, based on our experience we have identified top 3 factor you should keep in mind before choosing to implement a third-party Workday Test Accelerator

Easy to setup and configure: Any automated workday test accelerator should be easy to implement. Though the time may vary depending on the complexities of your implementation as a rule of thumb you would not want your setup time to move beyond 2-3 weeks

Easy for your business users to maintain. Keep in mind that for your automation initiative to succeed, your business users and functional testers have to be empowered to participate in test automation. This means they should be able to create test scripts, maintain the tests, and use the test accelerator with ease.
