Problem Statement

Numerous configuration changes, patches, enhancements and new product introductions were being migrated to production on a weekly basis.

The knowledge to do end to end test does not exist with one individual.

Some of the business processes had numerous steps and dependencies making those processes very complex to test.

The high growth of the company and the volume of changes compromised the breadth of testing

The manual testing processes did not have adequate audit trail to satisfy the SOX compliance needs and put a very heavy strain on the already stretched IT staff


Objective Production Control

Establish QA as a critical part of the overall IT governance process

Establish a central repository of interconnected and stand alone business functions that will need to be tested as part of the QA process

Establish Integrated test data management

Automate the testing process to increase the breadth of testing and reduce the burden on IT staff

Ensure that the automated testing process generates adequate audit trail to meet the SOX compliance requirements

Ensure that the solution implemented is both scalable and low maintenance


Solutions

Marvell decided to implement the Entegration Attest Test management console.

The Entegration Attest is a portal test console that is built to specifically address the testing needs of Oracle E-Business suite.

Entegration Attest helped us address our objectives. Maintain a test script repository Automate the test process Generate Audit trail Flexibility and scalability

Entegration Attest uses the industry leader Mercury’s Quick Test Professional (QTP) as the execution

engine.


Components of Entegration Attest

Test Run

Test SuiteComprises of multiple scenarios

Test ScenariosLogically organized functions will make up a scenario

Test FunctionsThe test functions are the lowest building blocks and will correlate with individual business functions


Creating a New Test Scenarios/Test Suites

• Identify the Reusable Components or Functions– Select from existing function or Create a new function

• Logical grouping of Functions or Scenarios/ Test Suites– Logical Business Flow to satisfy Test Cases

– Logical Grouping of Scenarios to create a Test Suites

– Logical Flow of In and Out Parameters

• Inputs required for Functions– Static Input Parameter – csv File

– Dynamic Input Parameter – SQL Query

• Application Signature– Oracle User Name

– Responsibility Name

– Instance Name

Results

A comprehensive QA process was established for Marvell. All changes that needed to be implemented in production first needed to be implemented in a QA environment. Unless all tests passed, the code was not approved to migrate to production. This was established as part of the overall IT governance process.

A comprehensive test script library of over 85 test scripts covering all the major business process was created to support the above process

What would take one week to test now takes six hours


Continued …

This solution allows us to test the applications using the same user and responsibility as in production without having to worry about maintaining the scripts for menu changes.

There is complete audit trail for the tests executed with screen shots and time stamps

The Entegration Attest is the single user interface for managing the tests and viewing test results.


Lessons Learnt

Planning is a key to success.

A phased implementation approach proved very beneficial to us.

Do not expect 100% automation. Certain processes will still continue to be tested manually. Be sure to clearly identify processes that will lend themselves best to automated testing.

Identify the Key Users or BSA for detail information and make sure they are engaged from start to finish

Good and effective communication between QA functions and BSA on process changes

Prepare to make a small investment in maintenance of your scripts. Changes in business processes may require some changes in the test scripts
