HamiltonJet transforms regression testing on Infor CloudSuite with Fortest

The success story

Intro

HamiltonJet, a renowned New Zealand company and global leader in waterjet propulsion, migrated to Infor M3 as part of its digital transformation. With a highly integrated ERP landscape spanning finance, manufacturing, supply chain, and aftermarket services, the company needed a faster, more reliable way to manage regression testing during frequent Infor updates.

Challenges

1. Test cycles were long, delaying project timelines and feature adoption

2. Test coverage was limited, raising the risk of post-go-live issues

3. Internal SME bandwidth was stretched, creating delivery bottlenecks

Solutions

To streamline regression testing and reduce risk, HamiltonJet partnered with Fortude and implemented Fortest, an automated regression testing tool built for Infor M3/CloudSuite and non-Infor applications. It provides:

Prebuilt test libraries for Infor M3 modules to help speed up implementation
End-to-end workflow testing across processes like quote-to-cash and procure-to-pay
Change impact analysis to help prioritise testing intelligently
Cloud-compatible platform supports both hybrid and SaaS ERP landscapes

Impact

The Fortest implementation enabled HamiltonJet to:

Reduce regression testing time by up to 90%
Increase test coverage, including niche processes and integrations
Free up SME and business user capacity for strategic initiatives
Accelerate adoption of updates and changes, with lower risk
Support continuous ERP improvement with minimal disruption
Minimal effort from HamiltonJet’s team was required to onboard, Fortude handled the heavy lifting

Additional safeguards:

“Test vanilla first” approach encouraged process standardisation
Easy maintenance ensured test cases stayed up to date, even as processes evolved
