Initiative name ID Provided by DT PMO | TEST Automation | |||
Description of the initiative | Today there is no or very little automation for our tests on multiple technologies (SAP, Helix, Software Factory, SalesForce....) . We want to improve and industrialize our maturity with regards to testing and this is why a tool aiming at automating the different tests (NRTs, UAT…) is more than required. Budget around 140K€ for tool implementation and licences (without negociation) 88K€ for transformation at CGI | |||

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives
Understand: Why is this initiative proposed? What are the consequences if not done? What are the new capabilities expected?
|
|
First, let´s start with the Problem space
1.1. Reason
* Why is this initiative proposed today?
Explain what are the motivations and the expected objective behind this initiative/ what are the consequences if not done?
| Our objective is to be able to test better, faster and whenever required without inquiring additional costs. Its implementation will also help to decrease or costs (for instance 65% of savings expected on CGI testing costs) |
1.2. Benefits
What are the new capabilities expected?
| Testing faster and whenever required |
What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?
| It will replace manual testing done by CGI on NRT only |
1.3. Target users
Who are the future users?
Identify the future users (BU, sites...) and population concerned
| DT Dev,Test,Deploy, EBS and CGI |
What is the number of users impacted?
| 3.5 |
What about the Business Needs?
1.4. Value proposition
What is the value of the initiative?
Financial Business expectation (ROI, benefits, savings,...) + Qualitative Business expectation (business value, market fit, visibility,...)
| 65% savings of CGI testing costs. Better and faster tests |
1.5. Business goals
How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?
| Business continuity by strenghthening our releases to production |
1.6. Challenges
Are there any challenges in developing the product?
| None |
1.7. Business metrics
How will we measure success?
| Costs reduced. More frequent tests. Industrialized process |
1.8. Cybersecurity
Please duplicate this template iand contact the SIP teaùm in order to get your corresponding folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the initiative card tab and to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" tab. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com
If not able to answer yet, explain it at the Envision gate and it will be the DTLT to decide if green light or not considering with the high level of uncertainty
1.9- Involvment of Data Domains
If your initiative is working with data, please select the domain which is impacted:
- Marketing & Sales (Customer & Market segment / Price conditions & CMIR)
- Supply Chain Management (Routes & Rates)
- Procurement (Master data: Vendors, Contracts, Material (Group)/ Reference Data: Payment terms, Structures)
- Finance (Management (MAC)/ Financial (FAC)/ Treasury)
- HR (HR Master Data (Employee, Personal, Identity))
- Industrial (BOM, Asset Hierarchy, MES Tag, Process Batch)
- R&I (Products, Equipments/ Projects)
- Structures & shared referential (Structures/ Shared referential data/ Finished goods)
- Sustainability
1.10. Up to investment
Estimated Delivery phase start date*
| Estimated Delivered end Quarter* Q3 2023 |
What is the coherent money to commit on the initiative?*
| 2023 (in K€)* | 2024 (in K€)* | 2025 (in K€) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Estimated size of investment (high level) | 85K€ CAPEX + 60 K€ OPEX for the tool. 75K€ for CGI | 60K€ for the tool. 65% savings of CGI → 33k€ | 60K€ for the tool. 65% savings of CGI → 33k€ |
What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?
Only run cost impact - TCO over 10Y will be finalized during the strategize phaseEstimated run costs (estimation high level) per year on xxYear (xx= duration of the contract if known) + Type of run cost 90kE + licences | Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...) CGI testing costs (less FTEs) |
Please add here the required envelop needed to work on the strategize phase - if needed (maximum 40k€) :
