Atlas is extremely important to the business as it helps to create sales orders and generate revenue. The application manages over 1800+ employees and projects sales orders from worldwide. Atlas is the one internal application that means a one-stop solution for all employees.<\/p>\n<p>As the largest private-sector employer in Ireland, Version 1 has a huge demand for new functionalities and bug fixes which require several releases per year. To increase efficiencies, Atlas requested automation validations for a full regression testing suite, which will be executed to validate the application&#8217;s validity, functionality and stability, and end-to-end scenarios within a short period. Atlas also wanted to automate Back-end Invoice Processing, UI Functional Automation, and API tests for their application.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the testing was performed manually by developers. Version 1 migrated the testing approach from manual to automated, setting up a regression automation testing suite. The application now has more than 163 test scenarios automated, which are run on a release basis as part of full regression testing. These tests run after every release on a UAT environment, which tests the functionalities of the application from end to end and covers all cycles of testing.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>With the quick implementation of automated testing, time is saved even for intricate and enormous systems.<\/li>\n<li>Testing can be carried out repeatedly, delivering faster results each time with less effort and time.<\/li>\n<li>Only one resource is required to execute, validate, and report on the entire regression on UAT environment through\u00a0automation tests, which has reduced the involvement of manual testers.<\/li>\n<li>Test Automation greatly helps reduce the time-to-market of an application by allowing constant execution of test cases.<\/li>\n<li>Once automated, the test library execution is faster and runs longer than manual testing.<\/li>\n<li>Automated test cases are reusable and can be utilised through different approaches.<\/li>\n<li>By using open-source tools for automating application\u00a0validation\u00a0(such as Selenium and Specflow etc), this had led to cost saving on\u00a0the project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About Automated Testing at Version 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.version1.com\/webinars-and-events\/\">Automated Testing for Oracle Cloud Applications<\/a> by Version 1 minimises the risk of interruption or impact of releases on enterprise organisations \u2013 allowing you to focus on the system test automation benefits the updates provide. Each customer has a set of bespoke automated regression tests developed and maintained by Version 1 \u2013 which are executed on your behalf in synch with your update cycle.
