To minimize the risk of business
disruption from EBS R12 upgrade

changes in the history of our
organization”

Many custom reports
Their Environment
EBS initially implemented in 2002.
Since then, the footprint has expanded
to include:
“We took the opportunity [of the
R12 project] not only to
streamline and accelerate the
R12 upgrade, but to lay the
groundwork for an improved
testing methodology with any
type of application change in the
future”

“ Oracle’s recommendation for an R12
upgrade is to test, test and test. We knew we
had to involve the business users; the
question was how to do that in the most
efficient and effective manner,”
However, after being trained for Oracle’s
testing suite, they quickly determined it was
“too technical” for business users, even
combined with Oracle’s User Productivity Kit.
Testing is Key
“...testing would be an
unprecedented burden on the
business unless we found a
new way to tackle it”

Key Success Criteria
“We weren’t just testing changes.
We were capturing business
processes”
