SOFTWARE TESTING
ERP Testing
ERP testing together connsist of various QA activities which is necessary to verify ERP efficiency , security and user usability . In order to successfully balance it you will be needing different testing types to check your ERP stability as well as scalibility which will facilitate automation of even complex workflows .
ERP Testing Setup Plan
Every company is different and so is their ERP testing setup plan depending on their business logics , third party integration , deployment type ( on-premises , cloud-based , hybird ) . We have listed below some of the most important steps in ERP testing :

1. ERP Testing Preparation
You must decide on the basis set of KPIs for instance say test cases per iteration , rejected defects , ERP requirment not covered by test cases , rate of automated test , time required to execute . Consider all these risks and design mitigation plan for risk management .
2. ERP Testing Process Design Or Vendor Selection
You have to firstly decide whether to do ERP testing in house or outsource (fully or partially) . If you have choose in house ERP testing as an option , you have to discuss possible scenarios for collobration between team involved ( PM , BAs , development team , QA team , ERP users etc. ) .After successful planning , assign QA manager to design ERP requirements in most suited way .
Note : Winklix never recommend automated testing to me done by manual test engineer , even if they have strong programming background as it will unnecessarily increase risk of test maintainability amd stability issue .
After that you can proceed with ERP testing design activties or vendor selection.
ERP Testing Process Design By In-House QA Team
- Preparation of test strategy ( whihc includes testing of scope , objectives , defects reporting procedure etc. ) and cost estimate . Also provide traning to your test team members
- YOu must first organise your test scenarios and thereafter decide which one to test in automated environment and which to perform manually
- Design architecture for your test automation
- Choose , configure and integrate right tools
Selection Of Vendor For ERP Testing
- Always check vendor expertise in project management and technology . You may also cross check vendor QA certification like ISTQB or CSTE , service compliant with ISO and IEC standards
- Always check if vendor has enough resources to cater your needs in your entire ERP testing phase
- Ask for customer testimonials with vendor to get overview and satisfaction level of customers
- Request for ERP testing cost estimate or business proposal for your reference
3. ERP Testing Launch
Here comes the role of ERP QA team which prepare test environments , design test cases as well as develops test scripts and gather data altogether to prepare test data.
At the time ERP testing is launched , QA team work simaltenously and report on progress . The team should continuously work alongside with development team to improve test suite and increase test coverage .
ERP Testing Talents Required
QA Manager
- Designing of QA strategy on the basis of project goals set
- Continious analysis and improvements in ERP testing process
- Create test plan for ERP
- Management of team team in total
- Decide which test software to choose from
- Collobrate with manager who is managing ERP implementation project manager as well as development team in entire SDLC stages
Test Automation Architect
- Defining of scope of test automation
- Designing of ERP test automation strategy and architecture
- Setting up of test environment and data generation of test
- Choosing right tools for test automation align with best frameworks
- Collobration with PM & development team to outline test scenarios for proactive automation
- Management of test automation developers to improve automated testing and decrease testing time
Test Automation Engineer
- Develop , execute and maintain automated test scripts
- Reporting of defects after complete analysis
- Reviewing ERP requirements on regular intervals to improve overall test scripts maintainability
Test Engineer
- Design , executes and maintains ERP test cases
- Reporting of defects
ERP Testing Sourcing Models
QA management & team are in house
You have entire control on your ERP testing process . However you at at risk of unbalanced test automation strategy , choice of tools and frameworks may not fit in your ERP testing process.
QA management is in-house , QA team is completely or partially external
With choosing expertise vendor in testing process , you can optimise your ERP testing cost. But still QA manager will be required to align your team member / external team with your project process and control.
QA management and team are outsourced
You will get expertise advisory from industry experts and will also get optimised costing . But still you need to take care of skilled vendor selection and issues that may arrise during project process.
ERP Testing Tools
As per reports of world quality published in year 2019-2020 , peeling test environments hinders your testing ROI at large
To find the way for smooth testing process of ERP , you need to choose industry recognised tools that best cater your needs . Below given are some of the toolkit that may suits best for your ERP testing.
Atlassian Jira ( Best For Test Management )

Cost Of ERP Testing
As every ERP test requirement is different , there is no universal technique to define cost in advantage until solution specifics are defined . But let's consider sample ERP development project by taking this into consideraiton :
- 12-month long
- 90 % total test coverage
- 2 week iterations with testing proceeds parallely
- Automated tests 70 % coverage
- Per iteration 100 new cases
The overall testing cost will be $ 70,000 which will include QA manager , senior test engineers , testing tools license as well as test environment cost
ERP Testing Cost Factor Includes Following :
In case of outsourced ERP testing
- Total iterations numbers
- New test cases per iterations
- What is covered in automated testing
- Time required for designing & building test cases
- Costing of tools to be employed
- Efforts taken for test cases & script maintenance
- Test team members rates
In-house ERP testing
- Duration of project
- Total test engineers and automated test engineers ( depending on ERP workflow and functionality , number of third party integration service, ERP performance & security requirements)
- Cost for tools employment(licenses)
