VALMET HALVES TESTING TIME DURING MAJOR INFOR UPGRADE

With over 2k test cases and a major Infor M3 upgrade across 6 countries, Valmet
were able to save an estimated 3-4,000 hours.

 * THE COMPANY
   
   With 12,000 people in over 50 countries, Valmet is a world-leading industrial
   company offering equipment and services for the sustainable processing and
   flow of natural resources in the mining, aggregates, recycling and process
   industries.

 * THE CHALLENGE
   
    * * Document testing activities
      * Speed up the process of manual testing
      * Improve quality and follow up
   
   
   
    * 
   
   

 * 


THE RESULT


“..DEFECT REPORTING TIME HAS SPED UP TREMENDOUSLY”

> Originally we had planned for 3 months to test the M3 upgrade in 6 countries.
> With these tools we have cut that time in half and saved 3 - 4,000 hours.
> 
> Nadja Westen Global ERP owner

ORIGINAL SOFTWARE’S SOLUTIONS SPEED UP DEFECT REPORTING AND SAVE 3-4,000 HOURS
IN MAJOR M3 UPGRADE

Valmet is well known for offering equipment and services for the sustainable
processing and flow of natural resources in the mining, aggregates, recycling
and process industries.Headquartered in Finland, they employ more than 12,000
people in over 50 countries and have in excess of 40 valve and service centers
around the world.

Testing and documentation of testing was previously a very slow and error-prone
area, and with a large Infor M3 upgrade looming, they wanted to take steps to
improve both speed and quality in testing and project management.

With over 200 modifications in addition to the standard Infor M3 solution, there
were a high volume of test cases to run through in the upgrade to M3 version
13.4. They currently have 2,000 test cases with M3 used in 6 different
countries, each of which has to test and provide proof of testing as part of the
project.


THE SOLUTION

Combining the use of Qualify and TestAssist, they were able to stay on top of
all the test activities throughout the testing period. The dynamic graphical
reporting in Qualify makes it easy to clearly follow progress, results and
overall status.

> The tools from Original Software enable us to know exactly what each tester
> has done, and the recordings help us prepare for the future as well. We can
> use the results for producing training materials.
> 
> Nadja WestenGlobal ERP Manager


EASIER DEFECT REPORTING TO THE VENDOR

By taking advantage of Qualify’s interface to Jira, defects identified by the
testers are now reported directly to the vendor’s ticket system. This has
streamlined the communication, and when needed, test results can be attached to
the tickets in Word or PDF format to provide the required documentation to
facilitate problem resolution.

> defect reporting time has sped up tremendously because of the integration
> between Qualify and the ticket management system used by our vendor, Jira
> 
> Nadja WestenGlobal ERP Manager


SOME OF THE BENEFITS

Since working with Original Software, the team has seen a number of benefits;
a lot of time has been saved in terms of documenting the testing activity, with
the added benefit of a clear audit trail that proves what was tested and not
only removes an element of doubt but ensures a high level of compliance too.

In addition to the improved and easy defect reporting to the software vendor,
other visible enhancements have been a higher quality of Project Management and
the fact that the testers are able to be more efficient with their time and
efforts.

> Before, testing and documentation of testing was done using Excel and numerous
> copy/paste routines in Word. It is so easy to follow the status for all the
> tests, and with the “clean” test results, we know exactly what people have
> been doing
> 
> Senior Technical Consultant


THE VISION MOVING FORWARD.

Using the project management benchmark from the first round of testing, Valmet
is ready for more solution tests in the next round as the different areas are
ready for testing. User acceptance testing will be done in the third round.
Using the framework within Qualify, the breadth of the testing can easily be
expanded to include the important interfacing applications as well.

Additionally, the solution kit will be used for other applications within the
organization as well. They have already begun testing Salesforce.com in
instances where the application interfaces with Infor M3.
