Acceptance test with tight schedule

Allianz Global Investors implemented comprehensive acceptance tests including error management and troubleshooting on two continents in just two weeks with Panaya Test Center - automation and user-friendliness made it possible.

A thousand test cases, 40 business users at seven locations on two continents, and only two weeks to test a newly introduced SAP system for usability and acceptance.

Error management, troubleshooting and retesting included. What sounds impossible to most test managers, Allianz Global Investors mastered with the help of the automation and acceleration features of the Panaya Test Center - on time and without compromising quality.

Acceptance testing is designed to ensure that new applications are fit for purpose, support the business, work for the user, and are accepted by the user.

Although User Acceptance Tests (UAT) are an important and necessary phase of change implementation, they are often extremely time consuming and difficult to manage.

"Test managers often have a really hard time involving and motivating business users"

knows Jens Puhle, Vice President CEN & UKI at Panaya.

In addition, acceptance testing is rarely high on their list of priorities and often lacks the technical expertise to perform effective testing.
