AUTOMATEST

Peoplesoft system is under the pressure of constant change, which includes new software features, fixes to existing software or hardware issues, changes to business requirement.
Change is good. Change is advanced. Change is necessary
BUT
Change is disruptive. Change is expensive. Change is time-consuming. Change is risky.
After Peoplesoft 9.2 there is going to be no major upgrade again. Peoplesoft Selective adoption changed the way PeopleSoft application is maintained. Now features are delivered on a regular basis and customers do not need to upgrade the Application, instead they can decide what to apply and when to apply the features.

Whenever a change is applied there is always a chance that something existing might break. Most organizations have adapted to system-wide testing to identify what breaks when the change is applied. The largest portion of the cost is spent on this testing apart from the custom development cost. The changes that are applied are smaller and more focused but we need to apply them more frequently resulting in an increased amount of time and effort spent on testing.

System-wide testing consumes a lot of effort in terms of time and resources. Most widely, manual testing is being performed as it is cost effective and efficient. But manual testing cannot scale up, it is relatively expensive when the scope of change is very small. Everything is mostly excel based and wrapping up for manual testing is difficult.

Automated Testing is the solution which can be realized using the PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF)
Peoplesoft selective adoption is the Key reason why PTF is important.PTF is mainly used for application testing and regression testing. We can record and playback all the user actions performed during functional testing and all the test cases and test results/logs are stored in the database. This enables reusability of the test cases. This enables reusability of the test cases.

Cerebra has a team of experts with PTF knowledge. Since cerebra is involved in PeopleSoft upgrade projects for their clients, we have been successfully able to execute upgrades in a very short period of time by using PTF tool. Our experts can also create test libraries of all functional test cases for each module. Having these test libraries will help in faster regression testing during an upgrade. PTF also helps in providing a test coverage report which identifies the differences in the changed project and the current PTF tests. This helps in focussing on relevant changes.

Automated Testing is a crucial part of the lifecycle of your application and Peoplesoft Test Framework is a powerful solution.
We at Cerebra can help save time and money for your business by performing faster PUM applications and thereby accomplishing in keeping your application current.
