Getting Familiar With ERP Testing
ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. This type of system integrates core processes within a business, such as management, finance, etc. Talking about the term 'ERP testing', it refers to the process of verifying the functioning of your ERP software solution during implementation.
In other words, it is a Quality Assurance (QA) process designed to ensure that the ERP system is correctly implemented and operational before the full launch. The test decreases the number of bugs that would otherwise surface post-implementation and thereby lead to faulty problems/issues.
The Emerging Need Of ERP Testing
A forecast by a technology analyst says that the market of global enterprise resource planning is expected to grow phenomenally over the next few years. Many organizations are switching to ERP systems to do away with a lot of monotone and manual data entry work.
With the help of the ERP system in the company, manual work can be avoided, And the work can be done in a non-chaotic way. All in all, ERP testing enables a company to customize rules in ERP software as per their policies.
Benefits Of ERP Testing
• ERP testing helps you to know the technical aspects and components of the ERP system.
• ERP testing enhances compatibility testing, localization testing, security testing, stress testing, and recovery testing
• The testing lets you introspect whether your system performs as expected or not.
• There are various failure factors that can lead to the failure of ERP software. Testing, in this case, keeps the implementation on track.
• Anytime there is an issue resolved, one can run test scenarios to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Why should companies incorporate
testing?
time
By leveraging automated ERP testing, one can save time during the implementation process.
Ensuring data security
ERP system includes integrating disparate sources of data into one centralized pool of data. In this case, automated testing makes sure database stays actively connected to ERP processes and, therefore, remains secure.
ERP solutions are Mostly complex, and therefore by running automated test scripts, one can quickly uncover any bugs or vulnerabilities easily.
Reduction in costs
Automated test scripts uncover issues ERP testing consumes much less of the allotted budget if done manually.
Continuous monitoring
Test automation allows continuous monitoring of ERP systems which further helps in finding and fixing bugs at the early stage.
Test Management
By leveraging automated ERP testing ensures robust test management.
Non-chaotic execution
By leveraging test automation of ERP software, an organization can ensure non-chaotic free execution of critical applications by monitoring routine data structures.
Techniques For ERP Testing
ERP Functional Module Testing
It is one of the vital procedures or techniques to test the core functionality of every module.
Integration Testing
It let us know how well the ERP framework incorporates into the company's business forms and whether the framework conveys the normal outcomes.
Cloud-Based Testing
As we all know that ERP is spread over wide geographical locations all over the globe, it is merely impossible to test the software from different locations. This is where cloudbased testing helps.
Load testing
Load testing help us to know whether the new framework can deal with the huge measures of activity it will send and receive.
Automation ERP testing
It is equipped for executing tests, revealing results, and contrasting outcomes and prior trials. Tests performed with these can run more than once, as per the requirement.
