1 WORKSOFT AUTOMATED BUSINESS PROCESS DISCOVERY & VALIDATION

2 AUTOMATION THE PROMISE OF AUTOMATED TESTING Software functional test automation promised to reduce testing time, lower deployment costs and improve quality. However, many functional testing solutions introduced additional development and maintenance costs due to proprietary scripting languages that required custom coding to support enterprise applications. Additionally, these software products were designed for technical people instead of the business and subject matter experts that understand the business processes and workflows. NEXT GENERATION OF AUTOMATED TESTING WORKSOFT was first to market with a solution designed for business analysts that is powerful enough to validate cross-platform business processes without requiring coding. WORKSOFT CERTIFY is an automated functional testing solution optimized for enterprise applications - supporting both ENSURING THE SUCCESS OF DIGITAL BUSINESS Today, every business is a digital business. Organizations are undergoing a radical transformation as they implement a digital business strategy, looking to align new technology with the dynamic needs of each business unit. As the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds continue to blur, companies need to ensure that end-to-end business processes, which can span dozens of applications, perform as designed. In this rapidly changing application landscape, old methods of technology management are no longer feasible. Business process maps that are 3 months old are outdated, and manual tests to ensure transactions are performing correctly are too time consuming to complete every time there is a technology change. A successful digital business requires automation. WORKSOFT Product Sheet Page 2 Johannesburg Cape Town
