In a typical EBS (Enterprise Business Suite) implementation, testing consumes approximately 20 percent of the total implementation time and involves writing test scenarios and testing them with hundreds of transactions. In addition, most of the testing requires high level of skill in terms of understanding the business requirement and understanding the EBS landscape. Such skilled resources are also vital for creating product solutions that will help organizations meet the needs of a changing business environment. Diverting such skilled resources to a testing function for extended periods creates a vacuum in managing the business. This results in insufficient and inefficient test coverage, which in turn, results in an EBS implementation that does not deliver the desired business value.

"Test Accelerator for EBS" helps organizations overcome these challenges. It is one of the most comprehensive EBS functional and automated testing solutions designed to improve the performance of your EBS system. The solution has a large repository of reusable test cases classified by processes. It incorporates best practices honed by us during the course of successfully implementing the solution for various global fortune 2000 enterprises over the years. These best practices enhance the efficacy of testing through increased and accurate test coverage.

Oracle launches newer versions in the market. Some of the key features of the solution are listed below:

·         Repository of Functional test cases for typical business critical process like Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, Demand to Supply Management, Human Resources & Portals

·         Covers domain area specific tests as a part of industry solutions (Manufacturing & Consumer Goods, Retail, Pharmaceutical)

·         Geography-specific test scenarios and cases (North America, Europe, Asia Pac, Japan, etc) e.g. Withholding tax in Japan, Italy, USA, etc; Electronic media for payment in Germany, France, Hong Kong, USA, etc; Sales and Use tax in the USA.

·         Automated end-to-end business process testing framework for EBS implementation, upgrade, service pack & regression testing

·         Facilitates and accelerates change impact testing for understanding the impact of service packs on the EBS environment on specific business processes

Reduce Risk and Costs:

Anyone involve in delivery of a project has inevitably had experience of projects being deployed and then encountering issues that were not picked up during the test phase. Perhaps this led to functional issues, or as is perhaps more common performance problems, whatever the issue the cost of resolving a specific issue once in production is exponentially higher (up to 100x according to analysts).

By using better, more controlled, more automated, testing procedures it is possible to reduce the risks associated with testing, as well as cut costs by both streamlining and automating the testing, and reducing the costs associated with fixes to live systems.
