ERP Business Process Testing ChallengesTraditional tools and methodologies are notsuited for functional analysts and business users
Designed for generic software testing and not ERP Complicated UI designed for technical usersExcel as a workaround is not scalable
Lack of end-to-end business process visibility
Workaround solutions are not built to support business process testing by multiple usersAs a result, test managers lack intuitive reporting and dash boarding
Inability to track testing quality and accuracy
Documentation of actual tests performed is time consuming
Limited ability to capturebusiness process knowledge
Hard to free up business users time to document their daily activities
Idle time between sequential testing activities
Lack of collaboration toolsAs a result, testers don’t know when to test their part of the process

Replacing HP ALM with a testing solution designed for the ERP
PANAYA© Panaya | An Infosys Company21
Outdated, complicated UI designed for technical resourcesDesigned for generic software testing (not ERP)Cumbersome tool to install, set up and maintainTesting documentation is manualNo testing collaboration capabilitiesTester worklist is not easy to show and not focused on what’s ready to testLow adoption for business users
The Pain of Testing with HP ALM
PANAYA© Panaya | An Infosys Company22
Panaya Test Center vs. HP ALM
Notifications and dependency between tests and defect
“ready to test” steps according to associated defects and notifications are accordingly
No notifications for “ready to test”, however assignment of tests to defects exists
Criteria Panaya Test Center HP ALMTesting Technical Capabilities and Functionalities
Various testing capabilities relevant for all roles (testers, developers, business users, managers)
Various testing capabilities relevant mainly for testers and technical expert
ERP Testing Suitability Tailored for ERP testing and business processes integration Limited support for business process testing
Installation and Implementation Very easy (Cloud SaaS solution) Difficult to install, define and support in maintenance
Testing Documentation Automatic and very detailed testing documentation which can be used as UG as well
Manual documentation
Defects Reporting Easy, mostly automatic and system wide Time consuming and entirely manual
Testing Collaboration Out of the box collaboration between different testers in the same business process (step level)
No collaboration, testers are assigned per test level
Reports and Dashboards Out of the box easy and intuitive dashboards and reports Need to define most of the reports manually
Reuse of tests Recorded evidence can be reused:to generate a replayable regression test suite based on user captured knowledgeas detailed test scripts for manual testingas detailed business process documentationas user guides
No reusability between manual and automated testing (different tools)
