    Staying Current

    Due to time and resource challenges, The University of California, Berkeley (UCB) was not current on its PeopleTools and PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) versions. 

    • UC Berkeley is on 8.57 and not on the latest PUM.
    • Manual testing - Resource and Time constraints.
    • Lacked resources with the ability to schedule PeopleSoft testing with the use of test scripts.
    • No access to real-time test metrics needed to make business decisions.

    Resource and Time Constraints

    UC Berkeley was on FSCM 9.2 (Financials and Supply Chain Management) PeopleTools 8.57, however, they were not using PeopleSoft Test Framework due to resource and time constraints.

    The modules in scope for Test Automation included Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivables, Billing, General Ledger, BIBS(UC Berkeley specific), eBill and Security with moderate customization, and Accounts Payables integration with third-party platforms. 

    • Mmanual testing of PeopleSoft application.
    • No ability to run, edit, schedule test scripts run via PIA.
    • Behind on PeopleSoft application new features.
    • No access to real-time test metrics with fluid homepages, navigation collection, and reports generated using analytics.

    Automated Testing

    After implementing PeopleSoft Test Framework combined with FasTest, UC Berkeley has realized business benefits across a number of categories.

    • Reduced timeline and efforts in regression testing - Two test cycles were run after the PUM upgrade - TST and QAT each in about two weeks. Significantly reduced the testing timeline by 60% compared to manual testing.
    • Functional resources can use the saved time from reduced testing overhead to focus on other value-added work.
    • Real-time test metrics for making immediate business decisions.
    • Significant time savings with test cycles has helped UC Berkeley in PUM upgrade. UC Berkeley is moving to 8.58, PUM 37 with plans to stay current.
