Testing Challenges & Resolution
Kainos Smart process
provided:
• Structure • Guidance
• Tools
• Experience
Test planning was
overwhelming
Testing automation:
• Significantly
increased the number of test cases
• Provided reliability
(tests were run the same way over and
over)
• Created detailed
tracking records
Manual testing with
limited resourcesHow to plan for
sustainment?
Kainos post deployment
services:
• Weekly regression testing
• Test packs
continuously updated to account
for production
changes
• Release testing
Before Smart After Smart
Focus was on manually testing
as much as possible to uncover
and correct issues
Focus turned to ensuring our user
experience and processes
supported key business decisions
Limited Business Process testing 7,964 Business Process Checks run
Concern about how to
adequately test security121,000 Security checks run across 1926 test packs
How to stage enough data to
support testing 60 Integrations?
214 integration data staging test
packs provided data for iterative
testing
Improvements with Smart
Continue the benefits of automation
Weekly regression testing has identified issues
with BPs, tested that eligibility rules function as
expected, and validated that production
changes had desired effect
Key takeaways and future plans
Future plans
Expand Recruiting test packs, introduce report
testing scripts, and incorporate test packs for
phase II Advanced Compensation testing
Use the tools to full advantage
Wyndham created ‘Life Cycle’ test packs to test
the flow of changes to an employee (including
Integration impacts) from hire through job
changes, promotions/demotions, compensation
changes and finally to termination/rehire
Time Saving
Automation greatly increased coverage and the
number of tests run allowing the project team to
accomplish critical tasks and meet deadlines
