Testing Overview
Workday User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is used to confirm that student application data is syncing correctly from Element451 to Workday.
During testing, you should validate that:
- the sync can be triggered successfully from Element451
- the application is created in Workday
- required student/application values are populated correctly
- errors are visible in the Integration Log
- Workday-generated values are written back into Element451 after they become available
Testing Element451 → Workday
Preparation
Create test student records in Element451 with applications. These records should represent a wide range of scenarios used by your institution.
Note: These records should be removed before go-live as they are test records.
Testing
Follow the steps in How to Sync Records (Workday) to trigger a sync.
Validate Data in Workday
Once a record has synced successfully:
- Review the record in Workday
- Compare values using the Field Mappings section.
- Validate:
- Element451 fields (slugs)
- Corresponding Workday fields
