All rights reserved. 8 What we have learned from our PeopleSoft Engagements • PS testing is not easy – but can be made easier via reusable manual and automating testing assets – Why reinvent the wheel? • Testing never start as early as it should: early test team and interface owner involvement needed (agile often exarcebates this problem) • Data refresh strategy is often an afterthough – define this at the start! • Development should not be the only testing team during an implementation or upgrade • Familiarity with AS-IS and Fit Gap documents are key for solid testing © Hexaware Technologies. All rights reserved. 9 5 Things We Want You To Remember © Hexaware Technologies. All rights reserved. 10 Five Things You Should Know 1. PS implementations and upgrades require independent testing 2. Test team should be involved from requirement gathering for AS-IS and Fit Gap documents 3. Data refreshing strategy needs to be part of test strategy/planning documents 4. SIT testing needs to connect to interface owners early for environment and data readiness 5. Automation by itself is not the solution to all your testing problems: domain expertise and strategic vendors are key © Hexaware Technologies.
