Business Process Testing Challenges

What is Business Process Testing ?

•

• It is an additional licensed module of Quality Center.
• It is a transformation, not a technology.
• It helps to create reusable business components – Manual & Automated of a test (s).
• Business Component : Non-Scripted and Scripted.
• It accelerates the automation in large ERP Apps – SAP & Oracle Apps.

Challenges of Business Process Testing

• Required Highly Level domain knowledge to a create Business Process Testing Component.
• The input data required for executing the Business Process should be reusable.
• Business Process should be complete, correct and accurate.
• Business Process Components should also be compatible with lower versions of Quick Test Professional and Quality Center.
• Some times Subject Matter Experts require technical knowledge because:
• Some initial Components might prove complete for some Business Process’s, but there will surely be a need to create new components in order to complete all the scripts.
• Though UI Scanner automatically generates the required components, it might be required to manually modify the Quick Test Professional code, or even to manually create a whole component.
