ERP Software Testing

E

Testing the ERP (e.g SAP) software application is different than testing the other software applications. ERP applications are domain specific and industry-specific. The common modules like Finance, Accounting, Inventory, Fixed Asset, Sales, Purchase, Human Capital, and Payroll are available in all the ERP systems.

Apart from these common modules, few industrial specific modules are available as per the targeted customers. For example, a “manufacturing ERP” may have a “production planning” module, a “pharma ERP” may have a “doctor-patient” module and an “education ERP” may have a “student” module and so on.

So we can take a example of One Module.
