“Thanks to Planit, we now have one tool that can automate testing across multiple applications and platforms for greater flexibility when covering complex business end-to-end scenarios.”
Fergal Collins
Test Manager, Stockland
Our contribution to Stockland was not simply assuring quality for their SAP and Salesforce environments – it was replacing complex and costly manual test cases with simple and repeatable automated ones. To that end, we successfully delivered 160 test cases per month for a total of 1,280 by the time of go-live. Each of these test cases covered a full business requirement.
This rapid pace was achieved through a meticulously planned and implemented schedule of completing ten test cases per day. This was, in part, achieved by harnessing our offshore capability (60%) to complement our onshore one (40%) for an extended testing window.
524 of the cases were for the automated testing of S/4HANA. In an end-to-end scenario of 109 test cases, it can take 16 hours and cost $1,600 to be manually executed, but our test automation reduced the time by approximately 37% to 10 hours and completely eliminated the associated cost.
300 test automation scripts were created for Salesforce. In a scenario of 14 test cases, our test automation reduced the time by approximately 34% to only take one hour.
Approximately 500 test cases for S/4HANA and 300 for Salesforce were created for the automated regression suite. 200 from each continue to be used in the current regression suite of 924 test cases executed on a fortnightly basis.
The regression suite cut down testing time in many cases by more than 60%. Manual testing of one end-to-end scenario with 150+ test cases had the potential to take four days and cost $3,200, but with automation, this was brought down to a day and a half, and eliminated the cost.
Beyond the value we delivered with our testing, Stockland also found our close partnership with Tricentis to be very beneficial to the project. Not only did it enable the quick resolution of certain technical issues, but we also managed and maintained Stockland’s Tosca license more effectively with the tool vendor.
