Foulk Consulting excels at helping organizations maximize their existing technology investments to achieve significant automation and efficiency gains. This case study illustrates how we enabled a National Government Entity to rapidly convert business process flows into automated test assets, empowering their business users in the process.
The Client: A National Government Entity.
The Challenge:
Having recently invested significantly in implementing hundreds of SAP Signavio business process flows, the client aimed to ensure a seamless and rapid transition towards both manual and automated testing. A critical requirement was to quickly convert these detailed business flows into functional automated test assets. Furthermore, they wanted to empower the business teams to own the ongoing maintenance of these assets, ensuring alignment and reducing reliance on specialized IT resources.
The Solution:
Foulk Consulting adopted a strategy that maximized the client’s existing toolset, thereby avoiding the need for additional software investments. We skillfully established a powerful linkage between their substantial investment in SAP Signavio business processes, the SAP Cloud ALM test suite (which was included with their existing SAP subscription), and the Tricentis Tosca automation platform (also part of their current subscription). This intelligent integration facilitated a quick and efficient synchronization between all use case maps and critical decision points documented in the Signavio flows. All relevant assets were then seamlessly ported into Tricentis Tosca, providing the automation team with a rich foundation to dramatically accelerate the build-out of their comprehensive automation suite.
The Result:
Leveraging the detailed assessment of their existing business process assets, Foulk Consulting successfully built out over 700 robust, automated test cases in an impressive timeframe of less than 16 weeks. Beyond the initial build, a sustainable process was established: when changes occur in the business processes documented in Signavio, they are automatically pushed into a dedicated test repository queue. This, in turn, generates automated work orders that help the automation team efficiently assess and prioritize their daily work efforts. This system ensures ongoing efficiency and continuous alignment between business processes and automated testing with minimal ongoing interaction required from the business side.
