Enterprise application testing
SAP, Oracle and enterprise application testing
ERP processes cross systems, teams and years of customisation, which makes them hard to test. Klarent automates testing of those processes end to end and keeps the test suite current through every vendor update.
The ERP testing problem
Why ERP testing is its own problem
Processes span many systems
One business process can run through SAP, Oracle, a CRM and custom apps, so a single cross-system workflow has many places to break.
Updates on someone else's schedule
Every quarterly update or release cycle from the vendor forces a full regression testing pass, whether your team is ready or not.
No two implementations alike
Heavy customisation means no two ERP implementations test the same way, so off-the-shelf test packs only go so far.
Knowledge sits with business users
The people who understand the process best are business users, and they cannot write automation scripts.
Defects carry financial risk
A defect in an ERP process has financial and compliance consequences, not just a broken screen.
Manual regression does not scale
Manual test cycles take weeks of business users' time, and still cover only a fraction of the processes that matter.
How it works
How Klarent tests enterprise applications
Step 1 - Capture
Capture the business process in plain English, from the people who run it every day.
Step 2 - Build
The AI agent builds the executable test across every system in the process, verifying each step as it goes.
Step 3 - Run
Run on every change and every vendor update, with run evidence retained for each one.
Platform capabilities
Enterprise application test automation, built for business processes
Cross-system journeys
ERP, CRM and custom web apps tested together in a single test, the way the process actually runs.
Business users author, engineering approves
Business users describe processes in plain English. Engineering reviews and approves before tests join the suite.
Self-healing through vendor updates
When a vendor update changes the UI, self-healing proposes the fix for review instead of failing the run.
Data-driven variations
Run the same process for different org units, currencies and regions using variables, not copies of the test.
Retained run evidence
Screenshots, executed steps and traces are kept for every run, for audit and change-control purposes.
Enterprise deployment
Run in the cloud, a private cloud or on-premises, with SSO and role-based access.
Applications covered
The enterprise applications your processes run on
SAP
SAP testing across S/4HANA and SAP Fiori, through their browser-based interfaces.
Oracle
Oracle testing across Oracle Fusion Cloud and E-Business Suite web pages.
Other packaged applications
Packaged enterprise applications such as Guidewire and Duck Creek.
Custom internal apps
The in-house CRM, HR and portal apps that sit between your packaged systems.
Where to start
Processes worth automating first
Order to cash
From sales order through delivery, invoicing and payment.
Procure to pay
From purchase requisition through goods receipt and supplier payment.
Record to report
Journal entries, reconciliations and the ledger that feeds reporting.
Month-end and period close
The close activities that have to work the same way every period.
Financial reporting
Processes whose output lands in financial statements.
Regulatory submissions
Processes that feed filings and submissions to regulators.
Surviving vendor update cycles
Keep the suite alive through every vendor update
What breaks in a typical update
Renamed fields, moved buttons and restructured screens break scripted tests, even when the process still works.
What self-healing absorbs
Self-healing detects those UI changes, proposes a fix and shows the diff before anything is applied.
Targeted regression passes
Run the suites for the processes an update touches, instead of a full manual regression pass.
Evidence for sign-off
Every run in the update cycle leaves evidence the business can review before go-live.
Compliance and audit
Business process testing your auditors can follow
Traceability
Trace each requirement to the tests that cover it and the results of every run.
Test data in regulated environments
Secrets are encrypted and masked in logs and screenshots, and on-premises deployment keeps data inside your network.
Access control and approval
Role-based access and review before tests join the suite keep changes under control.
Run history
Every run is kept with its start time, duration, executed steps and errors, so you can see how a process behaved on any past release.
Automate one end-to-end business process as a proof of value.
Pick a process like order to cash or procure to pay, and see Klarent build, run and self-heal it across your own systems.
FAQs
Enterprise application testing checks that packaged business systems like SAP and Oracle, and the custom apps around them, support the business processes that run on them. It focuses on end-to-end business process testing, such as order to cash or procure to pay, rather than individual screens.
Klarent tests SAP through its browser-based interfaces, including SAP Fiori apps and S/4HANA web screens, the same way a user works with them.
Yes. Klarent tests the browser-based pages of Oracle Fusion Cloud and Oracle E-Business Suite, including processes that continue into other systems.
Yes. A single test can follow a process from SAP into a CRM, an Oracle system or a custom web app, so cross-system workflows are tested the way they actually run.
Run the suites for the affected processes against the updated system. Where the update changes the UI, self-healing proposes fixes and shows the diff for review, so the suite keeps running instead of breaking with every release cycle.
Yes. Business users describe the process in plain English, and the AI agent builds the executable test. Engineering reviews and approves tests before they join the suite.
Credentials and sensitive values are stored as secrets, encrypted at rest and masked in run logs and screenshots. Klarent can be deployed in the cloud, a private cloud or on-premises, so data can stay inside your network.
It depends on how many processes and systems are in scope. A practical approach is to start with one end-to-end business process as a proof of value, then expand to the processes that carry the most financial and compliance risk.
