aMind Solutions Regression Testing Tools

While the product configuration and pricing features within the Siebel application provide a great deal of flexibility for companies with complex product bundles or other similar needs, these capabilities also require significant manual testing before they are released to customers. In fact, it is estimated that companies spend as much as 20% of the release cycle on Configurator and Pricer testing.

aMind Solutions developed a tool to reduce the manual effort required for this testing and speed the time-to-market for new products and services. aMind Solutions Regression Testing tools facilitate regression testing of complex products and pricing models dramatically reducing the testing cycle time. The aMind Configurator and Pricer Testing Tool allows companies to automate regression testing as new configurable products and/or pricing logic are introduced.

How It Works

Testing is executed by declaring inputs (quote selections) in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The tool then executes a set of APIs to simulate the behavior of Configurator and Pricer from within the Siebel application. This eliminates the need to manually test different scenarios. A familiar, easy-to-use user interface for declaring scenarios allows business users to enter and to test scenarios, saving time and money, while ensuring reliability.

Key Benefits

• Reduces resources and time required for testing
• Improves defect detection preventing costly bugs in production
• Reduces the release cycle time and improves time-to-market
• Uses Microsoft Excel for declaring inputs to eliminate the need for extensive training
