UAT is the last line of defence before go-live - it cannot be delegated to a consultant who is discovering your payroll for the first time.
Successful payroll UAT is neither an administrative sign-off exercise nor a rubber-stamp before cutover. It is the final test of truth between the integrator's configuration and the reality of your business rules. Poorly conducted testing means discrepancies that surface on live payslips, employee complaints, and a payroll team whose confidence erodes from the very first month.
GBA Connect designs, executes, and challenges the testing of your payroll projects based on your real cases - the most complex, the rarest, the highest-risk.
Who this offer is for
- You are entering the testing phase and the integrator is proposing their own test scripts - with no knowledge of your specific requirements
- You want an objective assessment of configuration quality before go-live, independent of the integrator
- Your payroll team does not have the time or the methodology to manage a structured testing campaign
- You have experienced a difficult go-live and need to consolidate the reliability of the configuration retrospectively
What we deliver
- Testing strategy: scope, depth, critical scenarios, sensitive employee populations, milestones
- Detailed test plans: standard cases, complex cases, rare cases, edge cases - built around your actual business situations
- UAT datasets: representative employee populations, high-stakes events, specific parameters
- Testing campaign execution: cycle management, gap analysis, anomaly qualification, remediation tracking
- Non-regression testing: proof of stability after each integrator release
- UAT acceptance reports signed, traceable, and enforceable against the integrator
