Inside the solution: 6 questions customers ask about Fortest

The launch of Fortest’s AI capabilities has sparked strong interest among early adopters, along with a number of valid questions. From how the product supports internal processes and custom developments, to how it performs in complex and evolving business environments, the questions are wide-ranging. Today, our automation specialists tackle some of the most common queries we received from our global webinar series on Fortest’s AI capabilities.

One of Fortest’s core capabilities is its ability to record real user actions and automatically generate test scripts from them. This is enabled by the Action Recorder, an AI-driven feature designed to ensure that test scripts are tailored to your specific business processes and requirements.

As part of Fortest’s service model, our team can also take on the responsibility of building and maintaining test cases for you. This approach reduces the testing burden on your teams while supporting you throughout your automation journey.

While frequent UI changes can cause disruptions across systems, Fortest is designed to keep the focus on actual defects and failures rather than those triggered by UI Elements. This ensures that testing efforts are directed where they matter most, keeping regression suites stable and reusable even across rapid Infor M3 release cycles.

Fortest isn’t a generic automated regression testing tool; it’s purpose-built for complex enterprise ecosystems. While it has deep, specialized intelligence for Infor and Microsoft Dynamics 365, it is designed to support any ERP system and its integrated third-party applications.

When it comes to coverage, it doesn’t stop at the UI. Fortest focuses on automating end-to-end business flows, ensuring that the processes critical to your operations are reliably tested and maintained.

Adopting Fortest is about amplifying your team, not overriding them. It removes the “grunt work” that comes with manual regression testing, so your testers can focus on higher-value work and risk analysis.

Most organizations find a hybrid model works best for the transition. You can continue manual testing for brand-new features or niche edge cases while gradually moving your stable, high-volume regression flows into Fortest’s automated environment. Because it’s designed for minimal coding, your entire team, from key users to subject matter experts, can contribute to the automation pipeline.

Generic automated regression testing tools often fail when they hit “non-trivial” cases because they lack context. Fortest is different because it understands the multi-layered workflows and data structures inherent to ERPs.

It is specifically engineered to handle end-to-end business processes across systems and integrations. Because it captures element metadata and DOM details in real-time, it builds a complete picture of the transaction, allowing it to navigate complex dependencies that would normally break simpler tools.

The value shows up almost immediately in time savings. For complex scenarios, we have seen scripting time drop from 12 hours to just 15 minutes.

In terms of overall impact, organizations typically see:

• 90% reduction in test cycle time
• 100% testing accuracy, which virtually eliminates human error.

While there is an upfront setup, the long-term ROI is found in faster release cycles and fewer escaped defects, turning QA from a reactive bottleneck into a proactive, scalable asset.

…….

The shift from manual testing to automation is a huge leap forward, but as ERP systems grow more complex, even traditional automation is hitting its limits. The real breakthrough isn’t just about running tests faster; it’s about using AI to make those tests smarter, more adaptive, and easier to maintain.

If you are ready to move away from the bottlenecks of fragile scripts and long regression cycles, it might be time to see what a purpose-built, AI- powered automated regression testing product can do for your organization.
