Everything you need to know about Workday Release testing with Opkey.
Opkey automatically runs smoke tests after each weekly Workday update, checking critical business processes like payroll, benefits, and core HR workflows. If anything breaks, you're alerted immediately - no manual testing required.
For major March and September releases, Opkey runs comprehensive regression suites in your sandbox environment. AI-powered impact analysis identifies which of your specific configurations are affected, and self-healing tests adapt to any UI changes automatically.
Opkey provides comprehensive coverage across Workday HCM (Core HR, Recruiting, Talent, Compensation, Benefits, Absence Management), Workday Payroll (calculations, tax withholdings, gross-to-net), Workday Financials (AP, AR, GL, Fixed Assets), and Workday Integrations (EIBs, Connectors, APIs).
Before every payroll run, Opkey validates calculations, deductions, tax withholdings, and gross-to-net reconciliation across all pay groups and employee types. Issues are flagged and reported before payroll is processed — preventing costly errors.
Yes. Opkey validates all Workday integration points including EIBs (Enterprise Interface Builders), cloud connectors, and API integrations with third-party systems like benefits providers, payroll processors, and financial systems.
Opkey validates all benefit plans, eligibility rules, enrollment workflows, and life event processing before open enrollment begins. This includes carrier feed integration testing to ensure benefit elections sync correctly with providers.
Customers typically see 80% faster release certification, 99.9% payroll accuracy, 85% fewer integration failures, and validate all 52 weekly updates automatically — eliminating manual testing entirely.
Most enterprises are running their first automated Workday tests within days. The platform requires no coding and integrates directly with your Workday environment. Opkey's onboarding team provides hands-on guidance throughout.
