How It Works
All the configuration, BP flow, and integration testing you’d expect from an automated testing solution, plus some extra special features.

1000s of configuration tests
Run high-volume, consistent and reusable tests that match your unique Workday configuration with just a click.

Workday screenshots of test failures
Troubleshoot tests failures at a glance with screenshots that show you exactly which screen it failed on and the Workday error message it triggered.

Sequenced BP testing
Most BPs aren’t used in isolation, so don’t test them that way. Whether it’s hire-to-fire or the procurement lifecycle, you can test a series of related processes with ease.

Meticulous security testing
Safeguard personal data and the integrity of process controls by checking that users can’t see or do anything they shouldn’t, right down to related actions and field level permissions. Watch the webinar.

Posting rules testing
Continuously verify that costs are being routed to the right ledgers to spare your financial team the agony of backtracking and correcting mistakes.

Full test history
Retrieve every test ever run with details on who ran it, when and what the result was.
