Challenges with Traditional Testing Approach

1. Developing and Maintaining Test Scripts is Tedious
Applications continuously evolve and with Agile approach changes are released
more frequently. Teams are playing catchup to keep the scripts aligned and updated
with each new ‘release’.
Testing scripts needs to be updated more frequently. Outdated test scripts cause
issues within the testing lifecycle.
Integration or SIT Scripts needs to be developed considering end-to-end testing of
the application.
2. Time to Deliver
Tests are manually executed, so every incremental change needs more time to be
spent on execution than the earlier.
Go To Market (GTM) time is impacted due to longer testing cycles. And, trying to
reduce the cycle time may impact the quality of the application.
Lack of skilled resources, compounded with overheads of scalability impacts time to
test
3. Inef cient Complex Testing and Tracing
Manual testing becomes increasingly complex and dif cult within an interconnected
Architecture with multiple parallel releases (for most mature organisations)
It gets dif cult to maintain the sync between test scripts based on changes and
there are high chances of missing steps in testing
The more complex the application, the more complex and time consuming is the

 How Adqura’s ATP helps automate testing in Pega
Adqura have built a Native Pega Application to automate test execution in all
Pega implementations. ATP enables Pega CDH or Platform testers to create
test cases, test plans, test scenarios, test data and much more.

Being a Pega native app, ATP can sit alongside any existing Pega
implementation. It can integrate with, mimic and execute native Pega artefacts
such as pages, strategies etc – to allow building of sophisticated test
scenarios.

ATP Features and Capabilities

1. Data Designer: Test Data Generation using provider data generators.
Data can be generated into multiple target datasets, stored as a ‘Graph’
Ability to store library of graphs to be able to generate test data on demand
Graphs can be - Cloned, Searched, Imported & Exported
2. Test Designer: Testers use User Story Acceptance scenarios to create Test Data Management in ATF ®
Suites. Each Test Suite will have one or more Test Cases. Each Test case Mock (API) Designer
has: Database – Any SQL

Data Generation Sources

command
Ability to trigger Data Graphs (created in Data Designer)
DDS - Cassandra
De ne Assertion (what is expected). This is used to validate results once test is
IH/Data handling

Pega Activities
3. Mock (API) Designer Pega Memory
Easy to Create & Test API stubs to mimic Services with complex rules based (data pages)

responses based on required test scenarios Pega Expression

(e.g. random string)
Data Driven Testing and Rest API Testing - Veri cation & Validation of Request & Data Graph
Responses
4. Test Execution
Validate data in Pega components – Decision Data Store, Execute Cases,
Activities, Data Sets, Data Flows, Strategies, WHEN Rules & Properties validate
results
Tests can be executed for single Test Case, Test Suite (multiple test cases), Test
Plans (multiple test suites).
Tests can be run manually / automated including from a Devops Pipeline
Test Data Teardown
At the end of test execution, this step clears Data Sets/Flush Data Pages using
available built-in mechanism
This avoids data redundancy in Database for data generation / garbage collection
in memory.
5. Test Outcomes, Defect tracking and Reporting
ATP is able to show test outcomes based on assertions de ned as part of test
design
Being a Pega native app, we have built ability to trace any failure to which exact
Pega rule failed in which component, expected and actual results.
All test evidence is auto recorded
In a regression testing setup, the outcomes can be fed back to Devops pipeline
for automated progression

 Outcome & Bene ts
ATP is already in use by 3 enterprise clients for their CDH implementations with proven savings
in test timelines and testing e orts.
Examples:
1. European Comms provider achieved
- 70% reduction in data preparation step
- 70x faster automated regression testing
2. A leading bank in EMEA achieved
- 50% reduction in test maintenance
- Reduces time-to-market time at least by 25%
