Optimizing Procurement Using TOSCA Testing Automation – A Case Study on GPS P2P Coupa Integration
A technical case study on how KMTEQ’s TOSCA testing experts helped our client optimize the procurement process by automating tasks, from initiating purchase requests to processing invoices within the Coupa system and achieving remarkable results!
Introduction
In the dynamic realm of procurement excellence, our client, a prominent multinational professional service firm within the Fortune 500, wanted to simplify and automate their existing procurement process.
Learn how our team stepped in and navigated the complexities, from purchase request to invoice, thus streamlining their entire procurement process using TOSCA testing automation. Let us delve into a detailed exploration of the complex tasks involved in creating purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and invoices within the Coupa system.
The Objective
The primary objective of the GPS Procurement portal is to simplify the procurement process for our client. By efficiently managing the entire procurement lifecycle, from sourcing events to vendor payments, this comprehensive solution aims to provide diverse services to users and vendors, facilitating streamlined collaboration within the field of procurement.
Challenges and Pain Points
Throughout the system integration testing phase, our team faced a series of challenges, with a notable obstacle arising from downtimes in various applications. Addressing this issue was crucial, adding a layer of complexity to the already intricate process of conducting end-to-end testing. Consequently, a strategic approach became imperative to guarantee a seamless workflow for our client.
Overcoming Challenges
To overcome the challenges, a meticulous strategy was employed. Our team opted to break down the end-to-end testing flow into smaller, manageable test cases and carry out the test case using TOSCA. This approach allowed for the execution of individual test cases, ensuring that each system component functioned independently. Once all systems were verified, the team seamlessly executed the end-to-end testing process.
