Featured KPMG speaking sessions

Trust, but Ver"AI"fy - Building resilient processes to integrate Coupa

Date & Time: May 12, 1:00 PM PT

Location : Juniper 4

This session details a modern, AI based, no-code approach to Coupa test automation. We will demonstrate how to move away from code-intensive frameworks and empower your entire team to build, manage, and execute robust automated tests. The core of this method is module-based automation, where test cases are constructed visually by dragging and dropping reusable components and pre-built function libraries for actions like login, navigation, and saving.

We will dive deep into the technical execution, showing how:

A single, modular test case can be linked to multiple test data sheets, allowing you to run dozens of test variations and data combinations without altering the underlying script.
Cross-browser and cross-environment execution is simplified, enabling you to run the same test suite across different configurations with a single command to ensure consistent behavior.
Screenshots can be automatically captured at each step of a test flow, providing clear visual evidence for analysis and debugging without writing extra code.
