Automated test scenarios for Acumatica upgrades


Hello mates!

I know about struggles with upgrades between major Acumatica versions. Even regular minor updates sometimes bring the pain.
So I was thinking, one does spend so much on testing and acceptance, on troubleshooting and fixes, I bet it just never pays off, whoever you are - either a VAR or an ISV. 
Maybe there is a way to cut it by doing automated tests? Basic or advanced tests that cover most critical business scenarios. It does sound quite simple yet challenging. 

How do you get through upgrades? Do you have any automated acceptance testing in your company?

Maybe there are developers who could do it for a fair dollar?

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

Hi,

We are actually starting to run autotests for ISV solutions and this will become a requirement for 2021R2 solution certification.

As for developers who could do it - are you planning to become one or are you looking for them? There are a couple of companies that are good at it. 

Regards,

 

 


@Igor.Leybe thanks for your reply!

When you say “we are actually starting to run autotests” - is it Acumatica who does it, am I right? How do ISV can get to use such opportunity? Do they provide test scenarios?
 

As for the second part, I am just looking if there is a demand for it. And I do posses some light development skills.

@seema33 - We are already running auto tests for some ISV solutions and building tests for several more. But we decided to make postpone making it a requirement for ISV certification till 2022R1. For now it is just a recommendation.

At Sprinterra, we’ve built a comprehensive Always Current upgrade services offering. This covers the full scope of an Acumatica upgrade (customization review and re-compile, ISV procurement and testing, sandbox testing, system integrity testing, UAT, upgrade execution, and ongoing upgrade support). We have built several automation tools around customization assessment, auto testing, and exception reporting. These greatly increase the efficiency of the upgrade process, while also removing many of the bumps in the road we’ve experienced with upgrades in the past.


We offer this a la carte or as a comprehensive service. Our automation tools have also proven very helpful for ISV’s and developers in assessing the health of their code.

If you’d like to learn more you can reach out through your partner, through our website, or directly to me at garrett.rochell@sprinterra.com.
