Sprinterra Smooth Upgrade Tools: Automating System Integrity Testing

Acumatica upgrade testing

Upgrading an Acumatica environment is an exciting opportunity to access the latest features, performance improvements, and security updates. But every upgrade also brings a level of uncertainty: Will existing workflows continue to run smoothly? Will reports and automations behave as expected? Traditionally, customers have had to rely on manual testing to answer these questions – a time-consuming and error-prone process.

At Sprinterra, we’ve built tools that change that.

Our System Integrity Testing solution helps automate the validation of core workflows in a customer’s sandbox before going live on the upgraded version. This ensures that common business processes continue to function correctly, minimizing surprises and reducing go-live risks.

Built-In Verification Areas

The tool validates several layers of the system automatically :

  1. Workflow Testing – Automated scripts execute standard transactions (e.g., AP Bills, AR Invoices, Sales Orders) to confirm workflows function correctly.

  2. GI Compatibility Checks – Broken Generic Inquiries are detected and flagged for correction.

  3. Report Validation – Automated scans review reports and sub-reports, identifying issues before they affect end users.

  4. Automation Review – Import scenarios, business events, and automation schedules are tested to ensure they still run as expected after upgrade.

Example Test Cases

To make this concrete, here are examples of what the automated tool validates, taken from our standard test case library :

  • AP Module

    • Creating a Bill without Inventory ID: Verifies that the AP Bill can be created, released, and posted correctly, and that the GL batch is generated as expected.

    • Creating a Bill with Retainage: Ensures that fields like Retainage % and Retainage Payable Account populate and calculate properly when the Apply Retainage box is checked.

    • Voiding a Payment: Confirms that voided payments correctly reverse the original transaction and update GL batches.

  • AR Module

    • Creating an AR Invoice: Tests invoice creation, release, and GL posting.

    • Applying Payments: Automates applying a customer payment to an invoice, validating that balances and statuses update correctly.

  • Purchase & Sales Orders

    • Purchase Order to Receipt to AP Bill: Confirms the full purchasing cycle executes properly after upgrade.

    • Sales Order to Shipment to Invoice: Validates sales flows end-to-end, ensuring no break in order fulfillment.

  • Manufacturing & Field Service

    • Creating a Production Order: Checks that production orders move through planned → released → closed stages smoothly.

    • Service Orders & Appointments: Ensures scheduling, staff assignment, and billing continue to work without issues.

Each test follows structured steps — from data entry to release and posting — and validates not just that the process completes, but that the correct GL transactions are generated.

How it Works for Customers

  1. Initial Setup – During onboarding, we enable the scenarios most relevant to how your business uses Acumatica.

  2. Automated Runs – Ahead of each upgrade, the tool runs these test cases in your sandbox.

  3. Early Detection – Any issues (broken GIs, automation failures, workflow errors) are flagged before go-live, giving teams time to resolve them.

  4. Confidence at Go-Live – Instead of relying on staff to re-test everything manually, customers can trust the automated results.
