Case Study: Performance Stress Testing, Test Automation, Test Data Management
CHALLENGE & TEST REQUIREMENTS
How to create/getnerate test data (workorder creation) to support performance.
Stress testing in a fast, efficient and accurate manner to support:
Stress testing in a fast, efficient and accurate manner to support:
- The QA Program’s aggressive timelines
- Multiple iterations/cycles of testing
SOLUTION & APPROACH
Utilize the MicroFocus/HP UFT Test Automation Platform to automate this workorder creation process:
- This automated approach would significantly reduce the time required to create/generate the test data
- Eliminates any chance for human error and required rework
- Enable repeated automated runs to support multiple test runs, test cycles and test phases
TEST OBJECTIVE
- Performance Stress Testing of the new SAP-based MRP Run to confirm ability to support peak load
MANUAL TIME ENTRY
- Minimum of 4 hours to enter 80-100 workorders as required per test run
RESULTS
- Performance Stress Testing of the new SAP-based MRP Run to confirm ability to support peak load
AUTOMATED TIME ENTRY
- 1 hour per test run. Also supports concurrent execution on multiple machines
