Today’s functional and integration testing focuses on the use of manual testing, which is labor-intensive, or record-and-replay scripting, which is maintenance-intensive. Even so, test coverage is rarely complete and the inherent risks of releasing a product without adequate test coverage are increasingly apparent. Regardless of an organisation’s size, management must frequently make sacrifices when there are development delays, and testing timelines must often be compressed to meet a go-live deadline.

BPT Accelerator for MetaVance

Leveraging our expertise in MetaVance, Hexaware has developed an object-oriented approach to the functional script design process in order to minimise script creation and maintenance efforts.

The basic architecture of our BPT Accelerator for MetaVance Systems includes four main elements:

• CBASE Foundation Library, containing generic Accelerator logic
• Application Library, containing application-specific logic
• Business Components, small pieces of MetaVance functionality (e.g., Login, Press “Enter”) that make up a business process
• Business Process test scripts that represent real-world business processes

Our BPT Accelerators are fully compatible with HP Business Technology Optimisation (BTO) solutions. The BPT Accelerator for MetaVance Systems consists of predefined BPT components and function libraries specifically designed to work with your MetaVance application and can integrate and test your other SAP® solutions, Siebel® applications, Oracle® applications, PeopleSoft® applications, and Web-based applications. The components are uploaded to your HP Quality Center software and used to build comprehensive, end-to-end BPT scripts via an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface.

Key Tangible Benefits

• Simplify and speed up the test design process with a groundbreaking innovation where business process building blocks are broken up into true “components.”
• Automatically generate business components using MetaVance-specific metadata-this can save months in test development time.
• Utilise pre-built components that are uploaded to the HP Quality Center environment in just minutes.
• Ensure that your QA/testing teams start the test design process much sooner, during system design, accelerating time-to-deployment for MetaVance Systems.
• Provide automatic multi-language support to your testing environments.
• Generate automated tests and test case documentation in a single step, saving a significant amount of test automation work.
• Accelerate the adoption rate for test automation because it’s easy to deploy and use.

BPT for Facets

Hexaware has a long history of successful Enterprise Health Plan & Facets implementations. Hexaware team brings successful experience in implementing and managing Enterprise Health Plan and Facets testing programs, and in using the structured methodology, toolset and approach.

As someone who has deployed Facets, the challenges posed by regression testing a comprehensive application like Facets; the effort to develop test cases, insufficient test coverage, and the difficulty of maintaining scripts as functionally is added or changed is known to all.

Hexaware, a leading IT service provider with a business unit devoted exclusively to QA and testing, has developed an automated test solution for Facets that addresses many of the challenges associated with manual testing or traditional automation.

Built upon the same technology foundation used for our industry-leading Accelerators for enterprise applications such as SAP, Oracle, Peoplesoft, Siebel, the Facets Accelerator provides rapid script development that is integrated with HP’s Quality Center. Utilising the Business Process Testing components within Quality Center, the Accelerator allows scripts to built, maintained and modified with a fraction of the effort required for manual test scripts or “record and play” automated tests.

With the Facets Accelerator you can now build, deploy and maintain an automated suite of tests that can be used to regression test Facets during upgrades, infrastructure changes, etc with less effort but more coverage. This reduces the risk of these deployments and provides a higher level of quality to your end-users and customers.
