Sage Business Cloud X3 Testing

About Sage X3

Think of Sage X3 as a comprehensive business management tool that brings all critical operations under one roof to enable better collaboration and visibility. It is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software designed to help businesses streamline their processes, manage operations more efficiently, and make data-driven decisions. It is particularly well-suited for mid-sized and large businesses that require robust functionality across various departments, including finance, manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain.

This web-based solution is compatible with various browsers and mobile devices and can be deployed on-site, in Sage’s AWS cloud, or through a partner-hosted cloud.

Some features of Sage X3 that make it a great pick are:

  • Global Reach: Sage X3 is built for multinational companies and supports multiple currencies, languages, and tax regulations.
  • Real-time Visibility: The software provides real-time insights into your business operations, which allows you to make informed decisions.
  • Integrated Modules: Sage X3 offers a range of integrated modules, including financials, supply chain, manufacturing, CRM, and more.
  • Cloud-based: Sage X3 is available as a cloud-based solution that offers flexibility and scalability.
  • Customization: The software can be customized to meet the specific needs of your business.
  • Mobile Access: Access your business data and perform tasks from anywhere with the Sage X3 mobile app.
  • Business Intelligence: Sage X3 includes built-in business intelligence tools to help you analyze data and identify trends.
  • Industry-Specific Solutions: Sage X3 offers industry-specific solutions for various sectors, such as manufacturing, distribution, and retail.

Testing Sage X3

You might choose to integrate Sage X3 within your ecosystem of business tools. That means you need to test the various system integrations and look at the entire user experience while working with the whole system.

The types of testing that you should focus on are:

  • End-to-end Testing: For Sage X3, end-to-end testing checks that the whole system works smoothly. You might cover various aspects of the tool like financial, sales, CRM, and more to make sure that the end user workflows are up and running.
  • Integration Testing: Given that Sage X3 can integrate with other enterprise systems, it becomes crucial to conduct integration tests. For example, if Sage X3 integrates with other software (like Sage CRM or Sage Intacct), make sure the integration works. If you’re using Sage X3’s APIs to connect with other systems, test the APIs to ensure they return the correct data and respond quickly.
  • Usability Testing: If you’ve customized the UI or made some integrations, it’s crucial to ensure the system is user-friendly and intuitive.
  • Security Testing: Since Sage X3 handles sensitive business data, security testing is critical. While the individual modules might be secure, you need to test the system as a whole, end to end. This could involve testing different user roles to make sure they only have access to the data and features they’re authorized to use.
  • Performance Testing: Handling large amounts of data can exhaust systems, and hence, you should do performance testing regularly. It will help ensure that the system can handle the expected number of users, transactions, and data volumes.

Both manual and automated methods can be used for the testing mentioned above. Manual testing can be time-consuming, especially with numerous lengthy scenarios. Covering all these manually requires much time and resources, which makes it inefficient. Additionally, manually testing all scenarios across various browser combinations can be challenging.

Given these factors, automation emerges as a more viable and efficient option.

End-to-End Testing in Sage X3

End-to-end testing in Sage X3 involves testing various process flows in the software from beginning to end to ensure that all parts of the system work together as expected. The goal is to simulate real-world user actions and verify that everything functions correctly, including customer data handling, sales processes, and other business operations.

Automating end-to-end tests using test automation tools is prudent to make the process faster and more efficient.

Utilizing testRigor for Sage X3 Testing

In End-to-end testing, testRigor consistently stands a step ahead of its competitors. Its distinctive features make it stand out as a cloud-based, AI-driven, codeless automation tool. Here’s how the tool helps improve testing of Sage X3.

  • AI test generation: Utilizing generative AI, testRigor facilitates the automatic creation of test scripts. The person only needs to provide the test case title or description.
  • Easy test script creation/maintenance: testRigor allows crafting test cases in plain English which eliminates the need for programming languages. This approach empowers anyone to create or modify test cases and simplifying the script debugging process.
  • Cross-browser and cross-platform support: With testRigor, you can write test cases that can run across various browsers, browser versions, and platforms.
  • Custom element locators: testRigor doesn’t depend on unreliable XPaths or CSS selectors. Instead, it employs a unique method of identifying elements powered by its AI algorithms. Users can specify the element’s name or its position, such as click “cart” or click on button “Delete” below “Section Name” to the right of “label”.
  • Seamless Integrations: testRigor offers built-in integrations with most CI/CD tools, test management systems, defect tracking solutions, infrastructure providers, and communication applications.
  • Support for other types of testing: Along with end-to-end testing, you can create regression tests, functional tests, API tests, and even UI validations. testRigor offers powerful capabilities that let you automate 2FA, email testing, SMS and phone call testing, working with tables, and much more.
Now, let’s look at a sample testRigor test case to create a new supplier within Sage X3.
go to Common Data Menu //reusable rule
click on “Suppliers” below “Customer categories”
click on “New”
fill Identify form //reusable rule
fill Address form // reusable rule
click on “Save”
check that page contains stored value “successMsg”

The example above demonstrates how simple it is to create test scripts in testRigor. It is just like writing manual test cases. Through data-driven testing and reusable rules, you can use the same set of data and test steps respectively across different test cases.

The points mentioned above are just a glimpse of the many impressive features that testRigor offers. You can explore all the fantastic functionalities here. You can also sign up for a demo and begin your exploration here.
