Automated testing
Regression tests that run every day, or on demand, instead of weeks of manual testing before every release. Flex Consulting builds automated testing on UiPath for SAP upgrades, core systems and the business applications your teams rely on.
Why automate testing?
Every upgrade, patch and change to a core system carries the risk of breaking something that used to work. Manual regression testing is slow and expensive, so it is often cut short, and test scripts written for one project are thrown away and rewritten for the next. The result is either slower releases or more risk.
Automated testing turns that into a repeatable capability. Reusable test components exercise critical business journeys through the application screens, the way a user would, check the results and record the evidence. Tests run on a schedule or on demand, so you know within hours, not weeks, whether a change is safe. Because we build automation too, the same skills and platform support both your robots and your tests.
What automated testing changes
Faster, safer releases
Regression suites run in hours, so upgrades and changes go out on time with evidence that key processes still work.
Reuse, not rework
Test components are built once and reused across projects and releases, instead of rewriting scripts each time.
Wider coverage
More business journeys are tested, more often, than a manual team could cover, so defects are found earlier.
Evidence for audit
Every run records what was tested, the result and the defects raised, traceable back to requirements.
Where we use automated testing
Common starting points for New Zealand organisations:
SAP upgrades and S/4HANA
Regression testing across SAP S/4HANA, ECC and Fiori, with change impact analysis to see which transactions a transport affects.
Core system releases
Critical journeys in policy, billing, student or patient systems tested after every vendor release or configuration change.
Automation estates
Robots and their target applications tested together, so an application change does not silently break an automation.
Packaged and SaaS applications
Business applications tested end to end through the user interface, including those without APIs.
Test management
Requirements, test cases, results and defects managed in one place and connected to tools such as Azure DevOps and Jira.
Test data
Test data retrieved or prepared automatically, so tests run on realistic data without manual set-up.
Platforms
UiPath Test Cloud
Automated and AI-assisted testing for web, desktop, SAP and API layers, with test management, scheduling and execution in one platform, as SaaS or self-hosted.
UiPath Test Manager
Test planning, execution and results with traceability from requirements to defects, integrated with ALM tools such as Azure DevOps and Jenkins.
How we deliver automated testing
Assess
We review your current testing, releases and risks, and pick the business journeys that matter most.
Build the framework
We set up the test framework, reusable components, test data and test management, so the suite can grow.
Automate
Priority journeys are automated and run against your environments, with results checked against manual testing.
Run and extend
Tests run daily or on demand, we maintain them as applications change, and coverage grows with each release.

Questions we are asked
What is automated regression testing?
Automated regression testing uses software to re-run tests of existing functionality after every change, so you can see quickly whether an upgrade, patch or configuration change has broken something that used to work.
Can you automate SAP testing?
Yes. UiPath supports end-to-end testing across SAP S/4HANA, ECC and Fiori, and can analyse SAP transports to show which transactions a change affects and whether they are covered by a test.
Why use an automation platform for testing?
Test automation and process automation share the same skills: driving applications through their screens and checking the results. Using one platform means reusable components, one team, and tests that also protect your robots when applications change.
