ERP Testing Implementation Roadmap
Every ERP implementation is unique, from business logic and integrations to deployment models (on-premise, cloud, or hybrid). Cloudester follows a strategic ERP testing roadmap tailored to your system’s scale and complexity. Here’s what a typical ERP QA journey looks like:
-
ERP Testing Readiness & KPI Planning
Timeline: Up to 1 week
We begin by defining your ERP testing KPIs, including test case volume per cycle, defect rejection rate, automation goals, and execution timelines. We also assess system-specific risks and outline a mitigation plan to ensure business continuity.
-
Designing the Testing Approach or Choosing the Right QA Vendor
Timeline: Up to 4 weeks
Decide whether you want to manage ERP testing in-house or outsource it. For internal teams, Cloudester helps define the QA collaboration model across PMs, BAs, developers, and test leads. If outsourcing, we guide you through vendor selection with a focus on ERP expertise, compliance, and capacity.
-

ERP Testing Sourcing Models Explained
Choosing the right ERP testing sourcing model is crucial for aligning quality assurance with your business goals, risk tolerance, and available resources.
In-House QA Management and Team
Opting for a fully in-house ERP testing model gives you full control over the QA process. Your internal team can tailor test automation strategies and tool selections to match your ERP system’s specific requirements. However, this model comes with challenges such as:
- Managing complex ERP testing nuances
- Balancing manual and automated test coverage
- Ensuring your chosen frameworks are compatible with your ERP landscape
In-House QA Management with External (Partial or Full) QA Team
This hybrid model offers cost optimization and access to vendor-tested ERP QA practices. External QA professionals bring industry-standard tools and established testing workflows to the table, while your in-house QA manager retains process alignment and oversight. Key benefits include:
- Reduced onboarding time due to vendor expertise
- Access to advanced test automation skills
- Flexibility in scaling the QA team as needed
Fully Outsourced QA Management and Team
Outsourcing both QA management and execution delivers maximum convenience and cost efficiency. Vendors provide a dedicated ERP QA team skilled in test automation, regression testing, and compliance reporting. This model enables:
- End-to-end ERP testing with minimal internal resource use
- Access to up-to-date QA tools and methodologies
- Efficient defect tracking and resolution processes
