Why Automated Testing is Critical for Oracle Implementations

According to Oracle 70% of implementation projects fail to stay on schedule or within budget, and two-thirds have a negative return on investment due to cost-overruns.

When asked about their biggest struggle from their Oracle Cloud Implementation, 64% of ERP managers cite inadequate, manual testing.

With that in mind, here are some of the biggest challenges that manual testing poses during implementations, and how automated testing solves for them.

Repetitive, boring work: Oracle implementations requires multiple test cycles, and there is simply a lot of manual data entry and analysis to be performed. Done manually, this is extremely time consuming, and because the work is repetitive and boring, its often rife with human error.

How test automation solves this

Automated testing simply removes the monotonous, manual work associated with regression testing. Because robots, not humans, perform testing, there is no human error, and more tests can be executed in far less time.

Poor coordination between business and IT teams: Business and implementation teams are often out of sync regarding deliverables and what to focus on. They spend much of their time coordinating activities & communicating back and forth, rather than on actual implementation work.

How test automation solves this

Automated testing platforms like Opkey contain intelligent dashboards that enable implementation leaders to easily keep track of each aspect of testing. They can assign tasks, track progress, and communicate within the platform on specific tests. Additionally, reporting is totally automated for easy compliance and traceability.

Unclear scope of what to test: Most companies allocate 30%-40% of their overall project timeline to preparing test scenarios and executing multiple rounds of regression testing. However, implementation leaders often struggle to determine what exactly to test. If they test too much, they waste precious time and resources, but if they test too little, they leave their Oracle application at risk.

How test automation solves this

Test automation platforms like Opkey have Test Discovery features that can mine the logs of your existing ERP environment and immediately discover the business processes that your employees are using, which highlights which workflows to test. Using this information, along with Opkeys library of 5,000+ prebuilt Oracle test scripts, organizations can immediately achieve optimal test coverage in days.

Complex 3rd party integrations: Most Oracle implementations are highly customized and contain many integrations with outside applications and technologies. Manually testing each integration is nearly impossible.

How test automation solves this

An end-to-end automated testing solution ensures that with each change to your Oracle environment, every API and connection with an outside technology is automatically tested.
