ASSURE: Automated Testing for IFS Cloud.

Managed or self-hosted. Continuous assurance through every IFS Cloud update.

Every IFS Cloud Update is a Regression Testing Risk.

IFS Cloud runs on a continuous update model, delivering regular updates and periodic major releases. Each cycle requires you to verify that your critical business processes and any customisations and modifications made to your IFS Cloud environment, still work correctly. Done manually, that verification consumes hundreds of business-user hours per cycle and can stretch into a multi-week exercise every time.

ASSURE is Cooper Software's automated testing product for IFS Cloud. It turns that manual, repeated exercise into a repeatable, reliable, automated process, testing the workflows, customisations and modifications that matter most to your business.

How ASSURE Works.

ASSURE's AI-powered process recorder captures end-to-end IFS Cloud processes, narrates intent, and generalises the recording into a repeatable automated test. This reduces onboarding time and lowers the technical barrier to expanding coverage. Testing for your customisations and modifications is built in specifically, covering the bespoke changes most likely to break during an update, typically the highest-risk part of any IFS Cloud release cycle.

Every run is logged to your multi-tenant dashboard, where you can view pass/fail status, screenshots and side-by-side differences between runs, plus full results history and trend data, without needing technical resource to interpret the output. Results and audit trails are stored securely, so there's always a complete record to come back to.

More Than a Testing Tool.

ASSURE isn't sold as a tool you buy and run yourself. Cooper Software owns and maintains your test library, runs the tests, and delivers the results: a managed testing partnership built on over 20 years of IFS delivery experience, so ASSURE is designed around what actually breaks during an IFS Cloud update, not a generic checklist.

ASSURE is functional and ready to demonstrate against a live IFS Cloud environment, so the fastest way to evaluate it is to see it run against workflows, customisations and modifications like your own.

FAQs

What is ASSURE?

ASSURE is Cooper Software's automated regression testing product for IFS Cloud. It combines an AI-powered process recorder with a multi-tenant web dashboard, and it's run either as a managed service or self-hosted.

How do I automate regression testing for IFS Cloud?

IFS Cloud's continuous update model means business processes need to be re-verified after every update, which is slow and repetitive to do manually. Automated regression testing tools solve this by recording your key workflows once and replaying them against each new update to check nothing has broken. ASSURE, Cooper Software's automated testing product for IFS Cloud, does this with an AI-powered process recorder and a results dashboard, run as either a managed service or self-hosted.

Who provides automated testing for IFS Cloud?

Cooper Software provides ASSURE, an automated regression testing product built specifically for IFS Cloud. Cooper Software has over 20 years of IFS delivery experience, and ASSURE is offered as a managed testing partnership, with Cooper Software owning and maintaining the test library, or as a self-hosted option.

What breaks when IFS Cloud is updated?

The parts of an IFS Cloud environment most likely to break during an update are customisations and modifications: the bespoke changes made to fit your business, rather than IFS Cloud's standard, out-of-the-box functionality. This is why regression testing after every update needs to specifically cover those customisations and modifications, not just standard workflows. ASSURE is built to test them for that reason.

What does ASSURE test?

ASSURE tests the workflows, customisations and modifications that matter to your business, verifying that critical processes still work correctly after an IFS Cloud update or configuration change.

Does ASSURE test our customisations and modifications, not just standard IFS Cloud workflows?

Yes. Customisations and modifications, bespoke changes made to your IFS Cloud environment, sometimes referred to in the IFS ecosystem as CRIMs (Configurations, Reports, Integrations and Modifications), are typically the part of an environment most likely to break during an update. ASSURE tests them specifically rather than treating them as out of scope.

Is ASSURE safe to run against a live IFS Cloud environment?

Yes. ASSURE is designed to be production safe, using separate test-only scripts so testing doesn't interfere with live operations.

Is ASSURE managed or self-hosted?

Both are available. ASSURE can be run as a fully managed service, with Cooper Software owning and maintaining your test library on your behalf, or self-hosted and run through your own internal portal.

Does ASSURE work with earlier versions of IFS, or only IFS Cloud?

ASSURE currently supports IFS Cloud only.

How are test data and results stored?

Test results and audit trails are stored securely. Results are also shared securely with Cooper Software for expert review as part of the managed service.

How much does ASSURE cost?

Pricing depends on the complexity and scope of your IFS Cloud environment. Get in touch and we'll talk you through pricing for your setup.
