Organizations are undergoing a radical transformation as they implement a digital business strategy, looking to align new technology with the dynamic needs of each business unit. As the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds continue to blur, companies need to ensure that end-to-end business processes, which can span dozens of applications, perform as designed. In this rapidly changing application landscape, old methods of technology management are no longer feasible. Business process maps that are 3 months old are outdated, and manual tests to ensure transactions are performing correctly are too time consuming to complete every time there is a technology change. A successful digital business requires automation. Worksoft automates business process discovery and validation to ensure companies are ready to conduct commerce even in the face of unprecedented change. Specifically, Worksoft helps companies: Achieve the highest level of quality in business execution by automatically validating business processes on a daily basis with functional test automation that identifies defects before they enter production. Eliminate the time, cost, and effort of manual processes in quality assurance, functional testing, documentation, analytics, and compliance. Save time and money by automatically discovering paths that form an endto-end business process, across any packaged or customized enterprise software application deployed on premise, in a hybrid cloud, or on mobile platforms. Accelerate technology innovation and shorten project timelines with confidence the business will stay up and running. 1

WORKSOFT CERTIFY is Worksoft s flagship solution for automated business process validation. Our top-ranked software brings speed and agility to organizations by automating functional testing across all enterprise applications and interfaces. Worksoft Certify s architecture ensures critical business processes continue to function properly as changes are made to the underlying applications. It allows easy validation of business processes spanning diverse technology stacks including web technologies, hybrid cloud environments, big data, and mobile platforms. Unlike legacy test automation systems, Worksoft automation is fast to develop and easier to maintain, eliminating a common barrier to the success of automation projects. The business processes captured in Worksoft Certify are resilient to changes in the underlying applications and make daily process validation a reality. CERTIFY IMPACT automatically detects change, risk and coverage for regular SAP maintenance. With Certify Impact, end users evaluate the change and potential for risk for incremental technical and business change in SAP with an easy-to-use transport analysis solution. Once run, the Impact analysis informs both the business and technical teams with a complete change identification report, change vs. actual usage analysis, and a recommended regression set for validating business process after the change. In addition, Certify Impact provides users with a coverage gap analysis, indicating areas of change without sufficient validation. CERTIFY DATA automatically extracts data from SAP for business process validation using Worksoft Certify. Certify Data then maintains business data during process validation by performing managed data updates in Worksoft Certify, drastically reducing recurring data acquisition costs. As part of a larger validation data management approach, Certify Data simplifies the collection of essential input and criteria for business process validation. Certify Data is included with Worksoft Certify. CERTIFY BUSINESS PROCESS PROCEDURE (BPP) generates comprehensive business process documentation from Worksoft Certify business process execution, simply and effectively creating just-in-time documentation from successful functional validation results. These documents are ideal for generating and maintaining accurate documentation of critical business processes, useful for regulated industries, compliance, audit, training and other applications where proof-of-execution of process is required. Certify BPP documentation includes a natural language-like narrative of all processes. 2
