“Panaya Test Dynamix helps us keep track of all testing activities.”

The Challenge

The stakes are high for ABB Brazil, an organization with five business divisions. Brazil has one of the most complicated tax systems in the world and SAP system errors can cost big losses for the company. Each release of new functionality is very risky, hence ABB Brazil faces huge testing challenges.

  • No available documentation for business tests
  • Several system changes (new functionalities, improvements, and bug fixes) are released every week requiring a huge effort to execute regression tests
  • Heterogeneous business processes among the business divisions, which makes streamlining the testing effort complex and requires the involvement of many business representatives
  • The major challenge during the UAT is to keep track of all activities, spread across multiple areas/locations and keep everything under control
  • SAP functional analysts are business-focused and prefer not to spend time on complex and technical testing tools

The Solution

After months of looking for a testing service, ABB Brazil found Panaya. Wagner Canto, the IS Project Manager, was impressed with a live demonstration of Panaya Test Dynamix. Thanks to Test Dynamix’s easy onboarding, ABB Brazil decided to dive head-first into the water and immediately moved all of their SAP testing to Panaya.

ABB Brazil started using Panaya Test Dynamix in 2014 on their entire SAP system. ABB Brazil reaped astounding benefits from Panaya Test Dynamix:

They met their SAP testing deadline with time to spare
They avoided go-live issues that were common with previous SAP testing
By keeping track of all testing activities, the SAP IT team went from reactive to proactive mode.
ABB “retired” their spreadsheets and Word documents and now use Panaya Test Dynamix to collect test evidence.

The Results

Wagner Canto is a big proponent of Panaya Test Dynamix. “The new solution is very useful for ERP test management, including planning, execution and follow-up. The major challenge when testing integrated ERP solutions is to keep track of all activities, spread across multiple areas and key-users. The new service helps us to keep everything under control (changes in the scenarios, testing progress, defects, and fixes). We estimate a 30% savings in total testing time thanks to Panaya Test Dynamix.”

ABB saved 30% on testing time thanks to Panaya Test Dynamix. They aren’t looking back!
