After a long journey to the final software investment, whether it was on premise such as Oracle E-Business Suite or an Oracle Cloud SaaS, the end result of your big investment might be seen as a failure without a testing strategy executed successfully. In any scenario the existence of customizations and integrations makes testing even more challenging and it is becoming essential for implementations to be tested against unique requirements to prevent taking on unnecessary costs or risks. This session will discuss the most common reasons behind a failed upgrade and how to avoid them, as well as the best practices for setting testing goals for your upgrade, and where to focus your testing efforts. The session will cover how to mitigate risk in data conversion, ensure quality, effectively estimate costs and achieve an on-time delivery by using new testing techniques and automated tools in combination with manual testing.
