In the PeopleSoft Application Lifecycle, project teams have to test a rapid and relentless amount of change: from upgrades and patches to tax updates and government regulations and, of course, customizations. Each change project kicks off a testing cycle, usually executed manually.

Automated Testing

Automate Test for PeopleSoft automates testing activities, including test creation and execution, change impact analysis, test maintenance, and reporting and auditing.

Automate Test records the behavior of application users to automatically generate test scripts based on actual business activity. From these scripts automated test routines can be executed without the aid of the application user. Because the tests are automated, they are highly repeatable, can be configured to work with a wide array of data parameters.

Sophisticated capabilities enable the quality assurance team to test application changes at a far greater level of granularity than is possible with manual testing methods. With the quality of application change is rigorously verified.

 
   
Is Testing an 800 lb Gorilla?
Brigham Young University addresses this question in a recorded presentation from it's session at the March, 2011 Alliance11 Conference.  In the presentation, BYU discusses their reasons for seeking out an automated testing tool, their deployment of Beacon's solution and the benefits derived from it. see the presentation..  (Hint: the answer is - It doesn't have to be.)
 
   

Test Script Maintenance Automation

Automate Test drastically reduced the time it takes to maintain test scripts. This is accomplished through a unique understanding of and integration with PeopleSoft metadata. When a PeopleSoft application is changed, Test understands what has changed, how it affects the test scripts, and makes recommendations to the user on how to update the test scripts to accommodate the changed application functionality.

 

 
   

Business Process Documentation

Automate Test automatically records and documents the activities of application users as they use the application to do their work. The resulting documentation can then be used to automatically test application changes. Additionally, process documentation can be used for employee training, process guides and to support process audits. Most importantly, the need for application users to take time away from their work to perform acceptance testing is dramatically reduced.
