Testing, a barrier to success!
• Relying on others for testing scripts.• All new to E1• Tested on memory of process, not from scripts• Poor documentation of results• Not knowing what testing or expected results

We need a better testing plan!
![Page 7: WAIT…Did you test that? - Quest Oracle Community](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012802/61bd19bb61276e740b0f5aaf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So the process began…
to develop a process of
documentation and check lists
![Page 8: WAIT…Did you test that? - Quest Oracle Community](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012802/61bd19bb61276e740b0f5aaf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
#JDEINFOCUS
Our “testing improvement” process
• Create checklists• Organize and structure our documentation and lists• Standardize how we:
• Plan and prepare the testing we do on each project• Document our testing and record our test results

Our challenge
To improve the rigour and consistency of our JDE E1
testing, while reducing the time and resources allocated
to testing
![Page 12: WAIT…Did you test that? - Quest Oracle Community](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012802/61bd19bb61276e740b0f5aaf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Our Solution
To define a consistent, structured, repeatable and documented approach
to JDE E1 testing.
To automate testing if possible!
