One of the more time consuming tasks faced by the test teams and inspectors, has been the need to set up LAP records in Regulatory Platform in preparation for i365 publishing. Previously, setting up a record in Regulatory Platform manually involved numerous screens/steps, required a lot of the user's time and was prone to error. With the large number of records that needed to be tested as part of functional testing and UAT, this process demanded a significant amount of the team’s time and was threatening to impact the go-live date later this month.
This time-consuming manual process has now been virtually eliminated using i365’s auto-create feature which creates the LAP and associated AP records in Regulatory Platform at the click of a button.
i365's auto-create feature lets users set up reports in Regulatory Platform in under a minute.
By using i365’s auto-create feature for testing, new LAP & AP records are created in Dynamics from the source i365 report - instantly. This advancement has allowed the team to significantly reduce the time required to test a new inspection end-to-end, and has also led to an increase in data accuracy.
Benefits
Faster test cycles:
Auto-creation of LAP and AP record stubs in Regulatory Platform speeds up the testing process, allowing for more tests to be performed in less time.
Improved accuracy:
Eliminating manual entry reduces human error eliminating any chance of misalignment between i365 and RP thereby ensuring 100% consistency between the inspection tool and the backend system.
Streamlined workflow:
Testers can now execute scenarios without switching between systems, simplifying the process and reducing oversight.
Potential to streamline the assessment process in Production
Because auto-create is one of i365’s core features, it could be just as effective in Production as it has proved to be in the test environments. It would help inspectors save time, reduce manual tasks, and ensure more accurate and efficient publishing.
What’s next?
UAT is scheduled for completion by the end of next week. Following that we will be going through operational readiness steps in preparation for go-live.
