Question
Our company has implemented V8.8 in one jurisdiction and v8.3 in another. We are moving to a common operating environment and I need to address the application testing, ensuring that the changes are seamless and transparent to the User and that there are no changes to the application look and behavior.
Focus will be on testing v8.8. Are there any specific areas in v8.3 that I need to include specifically in the test plan?

Answer
Hi Judith,

Oracle published a cumulative feature overview tool that allows you to select the versions of HCMs that you are moving to and shows all the new changes:

https://metalink3.oracle.com/od/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=793135.1

You will need a metalink account.

There is a number of functional changes that you will need to look for (unfortunately I am unable to post details here on account of the text formatting). The above (Excel) tool will help.

Please note that as of HCM 8.9, PeopleSoft has changed how the person data work:

Hope this helps.

Peter
