Automated testing strategies


ERP systems are complex, and it is not always to test these systems. To conduct robust testing, you need the testing staff to not only know the system but also know the business process. Manual ERP testing consumes a lot of implementation time and budget. Test automation helps improve the quality of the product and reduces cost and time.

The following are the advantages of ERP test automation:

  • Automation removes the human error from the equation, which means more reliability and accuracy of test results
  • Automated testing makes it easier to uptake future updates, bug fixes, and enhancements, as you can test and be confident that your core business processes will not break with the new enhancements in the product
