Workday Testing

Workday is a popular cloud-based ERP platform focused on financial and HR management used by enterprises across a wide range of industries. Workday is most often accessed by everyone in the organization, so it is imperative that regular updates to the system are thoroughly tested.  Business analysts or QA teams can spend hours manually testing each workflow, which is time-consuming and error prone. Automating your Workday testing process gives you and your team the confidence to deploy updates as frequently as needed while ensuring that every business-critical process is configured correctly. 

The key to successfully automating an application is to reliably recognize every object - including buttons, input fields, combo boxes, tabs, grids, lists and check boxes. Even though Workday applications are web-based, these objects are highly customized and dynamic, making regular record and playback tools incapable of creating a robust test suite for your Workday testing.  The TestComplete object recognition engine succeeds where others fail. It identifies every object uniquely, helping you create stable tests that can be run over and over. If a property does change, TestComplete has a built-in self-healing capability that will find the correct object using a powerful mix of Artificial Intelligence and image recognition. Additionally, our AI-powered OCR capability also finds text-based objects on the screen. 

No matter your scripting knowledge, we have you covered! You do not need to write a single line of code in TestComplete to automate your Workday workflows using TestComplete. You simply navigate through the application as a business user or manual tester would and TestComplete will automatically record all actions. Each element on the application is uniquely identified and can be reused across different tests through the object repository.  

If you are comfortable scripting, we’ve also got you covered! You can add scripts in JavaScript, Python or VBScript, for more complex use cases if you wish to do so. Data driving your tests is essential to ensure that you have adequate test coverage; TestComplete enables you to easily link your tests to excel sheets or csv files through simple drag and drop interfaces. Once your testing is complete, you will receive detailed reports with screenshots of every test run to share with the rest of the team.    

TestComplete enables you to easily reuse components across different modules. This helps create an efficient testing process that can scale across the enterprise. You can define modules based on functionality, categories, or business workflows and then reuse those tests to create a robust automation framework.  

You can orchestrate these tests manually or via a Continuous Integration system such as Jenkins or Azure and even connect to a test management system that you currently use. You can also foster teamwork by integrating with Git source control from right within TestComplete.
