In today’s constantly evolving economic landscape, the performance and agility of your ERP are key success factors. Frequent updates and complex business processes can quickly become major challenges.
In this context, Tricentis solutions, integrated by Itecor, can transform your approach to software testing and quality – enabling you to get the most out of your Infor M3 investment.
the key challenges of managing an ERP like infor cloudsuite / M3
Below are four major challenges commonly observed in ERP management, along with how Tricentis addresses each of them.
Complexity of changes. Custom developments around Infor M3 often create challenges for testing teams due to frequent deployments and updates.
With Tosca’s no-code automation and test stability, teams can easily adapt to even minor changes without having to rewrite tests. The ability to reuse test models significantly reduces maintenance time and effort.
Secondly, the manual validation of all test cases is highly time-consuming. The time associated with manual validation quickly becomes a bottleneck as test volumes increase and validation deadlines approach.
Tosca’s test automation accelerates development cycles and shortens time-to-market.
Next, the risks associated with frequent version updates, which are a constant challenge. Indeed, even minor changes can render existing automated tests obsolete.
With Tosca’s Self-Healing capability and model-based approach, tests automatically update as the application evolves.
And finally, the scarcity of specialised automation skills. Implementing an ambitious automation approach is sometimes difficult to ensure, as it requires qualified talent and significant financial investments.
Tosca’s no-code approach removes the need for deep programming skills, empowering business teams to actively participate in testing processes.
