Business process Testing Accelerators for Oracle 11i and SAP

 

  • Comprehensive range of pre-developed automated tests delivered so you don't have to develop your own
  • Test application upgrades, fixes and developments in days rather than months
  • Dramatically reduces the time that business experts need to expend to deploy effective automated testing
  • Takes advantage of the Mercury BPT auto documentation feature to record business processes as well as test and certification data
  • Provides compliance data and training material
  • Identifies exactly what needs to be tested after development or upgrade
  • Data driven from your test data

 

A new way of Business Testing for Oracle 11i and SAP Applications
Now quality assurance and testing teams and business analysts can use automated functional
testing capabilities to validate Oracle 11i patches and upgrades - in days rather than months!

  • Do you want 100% test coverage for changes and upgrades?
  • Do you want shorter test cycles?
  • Do you require increased protection against application faults?
  • After all, this is one of your business critical systems

    So how can you achieve these goals and reduce the cost and time of testing?

 

 

 

 

 

What are accelerators?

The ideal would be for non-technical business people to build tests. This would be dramatically
reduce testing overheads and accelerate the process of automation leading to a faster
implementation.

Now you can have all of this!
A new concept called Accelerators can deliver all these requirements "out of the box" and more!
Accelerators contain a pre-developed and pre- designed series of fully automated tests that have
been proven throughout the world in real-life use.

Many Oracle and SAP users from some of the world's leading companies have already proven
the validity and usefulness of these tests by applying them to their individual business
processes. Both business application specialists and users have tested and proved the validity
of the tests. They have been extensively applied to protect systems and applications against
bugs, faults and incidents during implementation, upgrade application or when applying patches.
The tests run "out of the box" as the accelerator is implemented without the need for extensive
set up or initialisation procedures.

As new Oracle releases and patches are introduced then the test suite is also automatically updated - removing the headache and worry of ensuring tests are updated.
As Oracle developments require additional tests to be generated then these are also prepared and added to the test suite. This means that the test suite asset base can never become outdated but is always at the best level to guarantee optimum coverage.

Accelerators take advantage of the Mercury Business Process Testing procedure by fully integrating with Mercury QuickTest Pro and Quality Centre to provide execution of the test suite, data management templates and implementation of the proven best practice.

Business Process Testing enables business process owners and designers to work in a unified manner with software quality assurance (QA) teams to test the functionality of mission-critical applications. With Business Process Testing, QA teams and business experts can test more functionality in more applications earlier in the development cycle, leading to faster implementation and reduced costs.

This extensive suite of automated tests is now available to you to apply to your individual application. Now you can benefit from the knowledge and experience that has been applied to the development of the test suite.

The Business Process Testing Accelerator for Oracle 11i is like having a dedicated team of specialist testers on hand just to prove the assurance of quality for your application.

Now you can deploy a true end-to-end testing solution built for production use, unlike traditional scripting tools you have seen before.

What will accelerators do?

Accelerators include pre-automated test cases for most Oracle 11i modules including Financials, HR, Manufacturing, Managed Supply Chain, Projects and Ordering and for many SAP applications also. Each test case also is constructed with reusable components allowing non-technical business experts to design and create even more specialized tests if required.

New or customized test cases can easily be created using a "drag and drop" process in minutes. To perform larger integration tests is also a simple matter. Test cases are placed into a business process flow and the entire flow is executed in a single action.

Results are displayed in straightforward and easy to understand format with drill down information to provide extensive assistance with troubleshooting and problem resolution.

Maintenance is simple. Test components for affected items are directly identified using a component map and then amendments applied when patches or upgrades are performed.

Business Case
The following real life case shows the savings that are immediately available.

A large retailer ran before and after calculations on the time taken to implement a series of tests. The calculations showed savings in several key areas as well as increased confidence levels at the user level.
