FNHA - Upgraded Tools and Automated Manual Testing Using PTF

The Challenge

FNHA - Business Challenges
Business

FNHA (First Nations Health Authority) was not current on the PeopleTools and PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) Image versions due to the lack of time and resources overhead involved in PeopleSoft testing,

  • FNHA was on PeopleTools 8.54.12
  • Cost of Testing was huge as the testing was manual and had lengthy testing cycles
  • Limited Resources for execution of lengthy test cycles
  • Management of Test Scripts using spreadsheets and Test results using word documents
  • Tracking of the Test Results and Issues were manual and real time test metrics was not available
FNHA - Technology Challenges
Technology

FNHA was using both FSCM 9.2 (Financials and Supply Chain Management) and HCM 9.2 with PeopleTools 8.54, but they had not implemented PeopleSoft Test Framework due to resource and time constraints.

The modules in scope for Test Automation included:

FSCM: Accounts Payable, General Ledger, eProcurement, Purchasing, Travel and Expenses.

HCM: Core HR, Benefits, Payroll, Time & Labor

  • Still doing manual testing of PeopleSoft application
  • No ability to run, edit, schedule test scripts run via PIA
  • Behind on PeopleSoft application new features
  • No access to real time test metrics and reports generated using analytics

The Solution

    FNHA chose Astute’s FasTest PeopleSoft test automation tools to automate functional regression testing of both PeopleSoft FSCM and HCM. Using FasTest, Astute quickly addressed FNHA testing needs and implemented a fully automated test regression suite that helped FNHA during the testing for PUM Image Update and PeopleTools Upgrade. The tailored solution implemented:

    PTF JumpStart implementation - to get FNHA up and running with Test Automation that includes key business processes. Astute developed 50+ end-to-end business scenarios with over 300 automated tests, for each application pillar

    • Automate manual testing using PeopleSoft Test Framework
    • Implementation of Astute’s Test Automation solution FasTest to address the limitations of delivered PTF features, and thus enhancing the user experience
    • Key deliverables include:
    01
    Implementation Project Plan
    02
    Design Document for the PTF Shell Tests
    03
    Unit Test Results of 50 PTF Shell scripts with 300 automated tests - foe each application pillar
    04
    Best Practices document for PTF
    05

    Results Delivered

    Business

    With the PTF JumpStart implementation for the Testing, FNHA has realized business benefits across a number of categories:

    • Reduction in the Cost of Time and Efforts by 70% with the automation of a large part of the testing process
    • Automated Test scripts made the testing process more efficient, consistent and repeatable process. FNHA has used the automated PTF scripts multiple times for their testing
    • With FasTest, FNHA has access to real time test metrics to track the progress of the test cycles

    Technology

    • With the upgraded tools, FNHA would have access to updated automated test scripts that would be used during the future upgrades and implementations
    • FNHA would also have access to latest version of Fastest that gets updated with the Tools Upgrades. So they would have access to real time test metrics on Fluid Dashboards and Reports
