A single misconfigured overtime rule can underpay thousands of employees before anyone notices. When you're onboarding to a new WFM platform, the question isn't whether to test. It's how to validate thousands of pay scenarios before go-live without burning hundreds of hours of SME time.
Here's what that looks like inside TestAssure, step by step.
After you log in, you land on your organization's dashboard: one workspace for every automated testing activity, from building tests to reviewing results.
Test suites group your work by testing type: Functional Testing, System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and Parallel Testing. Keeping them separate gives each phase of your implementation its own clear scope and status. For this walkthrough, we'll focus on a functional suite.
Select Test Cases within the suite to open your Test Bed, organized into folders by functional area, such as Timekeeping and Accruals.
Best practice: Structure folders around pay rules, features, or business needs. When a CBA is renegotiated or a new jurisdiction comes online, you'll know exactly which tests are affected.
Expand a folder (daily overtime, for example) to see each test case. Open any test to view its step-by-step logic.
Every test is written as simple Given / When / Then statements. No code required. A payroll SME, an HRIS analyst, or an auditor can read a test and understand exactly what it validates.
That readability also turns your Test Bed into living documentation of how your configuration behaves, so WFM knowledge stays with your organization even when team members move on.
Build the scenario in the Given section:
Best practice: Choose a grounding date away from major holidays so results stay stable every time the test is rerun.
Right-click the test and select Rebuild. Results return in seconds, showing whether overtime and other pay rules calculate as expected.

One test is simple. The value comes from running thousands of them across personas, jurisdictions, union contracts, and employee groups, and rerunning them every time something changes.
