Business Process Testing – Next Generation Solution for Siebel Automation Testing
Did you know that traditional test automation used a Record-and-play approach to develop test automation scripts? What it meant was that every time that the code would change, it would mandate significant scripting to ensure test automation wouldn’t fail! Also, for a small change in the user interface, this would typically require test engineers to modify multiple test scripts.
How do we address this?
Well, BPT, take it away!
Infosys’ Siebel BPT Solution counters the customer challenges faced during manual testing and traditional automation testing. Deployment time for Siebel Implementations can be significantly reduced using the solution which in turn helps in faster go-to-market of the product.
Infosys’ Siebel BPT solution is aimed at addressing four key business imperatives:
–Reduce Siebel Implementation costs by cutting down on the functional testing cost.
–Reduce Implementation cycle by cutting down on the build time for the function test suite.
–Reduce Upgrade/Maintenance costs by minimizing modification to the existing suite
–Ensure Complete Functionality coverage by an exhaustive library of pre-configured components
Key challenges that customer faces with traditional automation testing
–Dynamic business scenarios and tighter budgets demand faster time-to-market for Siebel application rollouts.
–Test Automation suites often break every time there is a new release and require significant investment in maintenance
–Defect creep through into production due to inadequate test coverage
–Excessive setup time & cost for functional test scripts, both manual & automated
–Project delays and cost over runs due to regression testing.
–Disparity between business team’s needs and QA’s functional testing
How Infosys’ BPT Solution addresses these challenges:
–Provides Siebel customers with pre-configured test sets that can be quickly deployed to validate key business processes
–Provides re-usable test components used to perform end-to-end testing for multiple releases of an application with minimal maintenance effort
–Suite of standardized templates and best practices along with accelerators such as estimation tools will provide a comprehensive automated testing solution
We will be showcasing this solution at the upcoming HP Software Universe (June 16-18, 2009), do visit us at booth no. 208 for getting a first-hand feel of this product and to talk to our solution experts.
