Testing and Training

Quality, budget, and scope are the fundamental constraints on every enterprise resource planning (ERP)/critical initiative. Most of the time, when the scope is increased and the budget stays the same, the quality is compromised. One of the biggest mistakes that people end up making is that they reduce the testing and training budget when there is budget pressure.

In many post-release, postmortem meetings, you hear, If I was to do this again, I would spend a hundred thousand dollars more on testing. You have the opportunity to do it right and not regret it later.

In this chapter, we will cover the following areas of testing, in order to learn and leverage it effectively:

  • The importance of testing
  • Types of testing
  • Automated testing strategies
  • Test planning guidelines and recommendations
  • Training
  • Planning and execution training
  • Change management
