Reduce your Workday cost of operations
Built on Workday, by Workday testing experts
In the dynamic world of Workday, change is constant — whether via routine updates, major bi-annual releases, or configuration adjustments. Effective change management requires testing to ensure critical business processes and integrations work as expected. However, manual testing is slow, expensive, and error-prone.
Smart Test, Workday’s preferred test solution, automates testing across configurations, integrations, and releases. Built on Workday, it reduces the manual effort of rework by up to 80%, to enable faster, more accurate validation of changes while minimising downtime.

Turn change management challenges into Workday growth opportunities
Decrease rework by up to 80%
Workday SMEs typically spend 30% of their time fixing defects created by delivering change. With Smart Test, this burden is lifted. It provides maintenance-free, always up-to-date tests that automatically identify defects from configuration changes, integrations and Workday updates. Unlike generic testing tools, Smart Test is the only Built-on-Workday automated test solution and has been proven to reduce rework by up to 80%, so your team can focus on strategic tasks instead of troubleshooting past errors.
Accelerate Workday releases with 90% less effort
Managing Workday’s bi-annual updates typically takes up to five weeks of intense manual testing, delaying the deployment of beneficial new features. Smart Test reduces this timeline to just five days by automating release testing that’s always in sync with every update. It provides real-time change comparison analysis for bi-annual releases, so you can test more with fewer resources, adopt new Workday features faster, and deliver change at the pace your business demands.
Streamline defect analysis from high-impact areas
50% of defects come from high-risk areas like integrations and payroll, so it’s vital you mitigate the impact on your business during updates and configuration changes. Smart Test autogenerates tailored test cases and delivers actionable defect analysis for these high-risk areas, pinpointing the root causes of configuration errors. This proactive approach reduces errors to give you confidence in the ongoing stability of your Workday environment.
Strengthen security and compliance with automated test evidence
A lack of documented test completion poses a security control risk that can leave your business vulnerable during audits and compliance assessments. Smart Test provides detailed test reporting, analysis, and automatically generated test logs to mitigate this. Its reporting offers clear evidence of test completion against your specific Workday configurations to ensure full traceability and compliance with security standards.

"We can adopt new features faster. We can focus on benefiting our workmates, and, ultimately, we can continue to make Workday the best HR and financial platform around."
“Around 25% of our changes were defects and would take three to four days to fix depending on the level of severity. With Smart Test we seldom see defects - I'd say less than 5% of our changes are defects.”
“The impact was immediate. During our first major update, Smart Test trimmed testing time by three weeks, increased depth and breadth of test coverage x29 and reduced the number of hands-on testers by 80%.”
“We have around 600 custom integrations requiring 10 to 15 testers per big project to perform test cases, record and report on results. Now Smart Test automates those labour-intensive tasks we only need a testing team of four to five people.”
