Case study 18 Portfolio knowledge project

Finance UAT Scenario Library

A reusable UAT library for Fusion Financials and EPM — happy paths, negatives, edge cases, expected results, and evidence capture so testing proves readiness.

Knowledge / portfolio case study only. Not employment history, not a named client engagement, and not a certification claim.

Objective

Build a UAT scenario library that proves process readiness with clear expected results and evidence.

Context

Weak UAT creates production surprises. Strong UAT creates confidence.

Scope

Scenario taxonomy, templates, priority model, evidence standard, and sample packs for GL/P2P/O2C/EPM.

Approach

Define scenario types → write templates → prioritize by risk → execute sample set → capture evidence → triage defects.

Key design decisions

Critical paths first
Don't drown in low-risk cases.
Expected results must be measurable
Pass/fail clarity.
Retest after every fix
Avoid false confidence.

Walkthrough

Run AP happy path → run duplicate invoice negative → run period close gate → log defect → retest → sign off.

Controls

No go-live without critical scenario pass; defects severity-rated; evidence stored with scenario ID.
