You got a problem? The Testing Team will find it!

Got a problem?

Who wants to talk about problems? No one. . .wait, scratch that! The FST testing team reports they are actually looking for problems. Have any you want to send their way? I bet we all do.

But they are looking for specific defects in the Workday Financials system. Nothing is perfect and transferring processes to a new system will produce some hiccups and the goal is to solve those issues now. The testing phase is integral so the team knows exactly what users will encounter in the system.

Now in Cycle 2, testing is pushing real-life user scenarios through multiple processes to capture any issues and then correct them. The process confirms that Workday is functioning for UVA as it was designed to and validate that data was converted correctly. The more we work out now, the smoother it all runs in July.

There are more problems to solve so it is crucial that scenarios continue to be pushed through the system to keep on track with Cycle 2 of testing. The holidays should be a take some time off so the next two weeks are important in meeting goals prior to everyone taking a much-needed break. So, let's get out there and find some problems!
