Missed Opkey at Workday Rising 2026? Explore the presentation delivered by Opkey experts at Workday Rising 2026 to discover how AI is making Workday testing faster, simpler, and more efficient. Through product demos, customer insights, and practical strategies, learn how to automate testing, accelerate release readiness, and manage ongoing Workday changes with confidence.
Workday Testing Doesn’t Have to Be a Bottleneck
Workday teams understand the importance of testing. The real challenge is keeping up with releases, enhancements, integrations, and ongoing business changes without consuming valuable time and resources.
Opkey helps teams simplify this process with AI-powered testing that understands their existing Workday environment, automates repetitive testing activities, and reduces the manual effort required to maintain test coverage. This allows teams to focus on complex integrations, business-critical workflows, and strategic initiatives instead of repetitive regression testing.
Discover What You’ll Find in the Presentation
- What a Workday release costs your team: Workday teams report spending about a week per admin on each release, or 56–112 hours across HR, payroll, finance and IT. Much of that time goes to sorting through 11,000+ adoption items, only a fraction of which touch any single tenant.
- One customer’s path from release shutdown to routine: A global organization on Workday since 2018 moved from fully manual regression, which paused other work for weeks twice a year, to automated regression. Enhancements that used to wait about a year now go live within weeks to months. With prebuilt tests, the team also validated UK Workday Payroll, a module its US team had never run.
- A four-step release calendar you can adapt: See how the team handles each release:
-
- In week 0, each release item gets an owner.
-
- Over weeks 1–5, owners test their items in the sandbox preview.
-
- Automated regression covers most of the tenant throughout.
-
- One pre-go-live meeting decides whether each item is turned on, backlogged or deferred.
- How to decide what to adopt, and when: A priority-and-impact model for sequencing your Workday roadmap. It also covers the timing lesson the customer learned: Workday retires older functionality within two to three releases, so adopting during sandbox preview can help you avoid a forced migration later.
- Where AI takes on scoping, building and maintaining tests: How tenant-specific impact analysis turns release notes into a focused list of relevant changes. You’ll also see how no-code tests are generated from your business processes, and how self-healing scripts adapt when a release moves a field or changes a page.
