How well does your testing handle the messy side of supply chain operations?

An order splits across facilities. Inventory disappears mid-flow and creates a backorder. A substitute item changes pricing or taxes. An ASN does not match what arrives at the dock.

Our latest post explores how teams can test these real-world exceptions across ERP, WMS, and TMS using outcome-based, reusable automation instead of fragile one-off scripts.

If your tests only cover the happy path, what risks could still be hiding?

Learn how to test ERP-WMS-TMS exception flows like splits, backorders, substitutions, and ASN mismatches at scale using business process testing.

Peak season puts every critical system to the test.

The best way to reduce risk isn't reacting after problems appear. It's uncovering them before peak season begins through automated performance testing.

Passing tests in your ERP, WMS, and TMS does not necessarily mean the complete business process works.

The real test is whether an order can move from creation through allocation, fulfillment, transportation, and customer notification while meeting the KPIs your business depends on.

Our latest post shares a practical framework for mapping these critical paths, prioritizing scenarios by risk, and creating repeatable end-to-end testing that stays relevant as systems and operations change.

Does your testing validate individual systems, or the business outcomes those systems are supposed to deliver?

Your system already contains valuable information about what needs to be tested. Cycle 2.30 helps put more of it to work.

The latest release introduces configuration-driven Discovery for Blue Yonder WMS, Cycle MCP refinements, and the extensible new Cycle CLI v2. It also makes the new CycleScript runtime the default and expands debugging and authoring capabilities in VS Code.

The goal? A more direct path from understanding your system to creating and executing reliable automated tests.

See what’s new in Cycle 2.30:

Cycle 2.30 advances Intelligent Discovery and Formulation with configuration scanning, Cycle CLI v2, a new CycleScript runtime, and expanded VS Code tools.

A warehouse Go Live should not be the first time your WMS encounters real warehouse conditions.

Purpose-built WMS testing goes beyond basic transactions to validate the workflows, integrations, exceptions, and peak volumes your operation actually faces. Our latest post explores how realistic testing can uncover risks before cutover and continue supporting teams through hypercare and future changes.

What scenario would you most want to prove before flipping the go-live switch?

In healthcare supply chains, a system issue can become much more than an operational inconvenience. It can affect the availability, traceability, or delivery of medications, medical devices, and other patient-critical products.

Our latest post explores practical testing strategies for pharmaceutical distribution, medical device movement, recalls, cold-chain exceptions, peak demand, and the connected systems supporting those processes.

Which healthcare supply chain scenarios would you consider too critical to leave to basic testing?

Peak season rarely goes exactly according to plan. So why test as if it will?

Carrier outages, capacity constraints, inventory spikes, and unexpected system changes can quickly put orders and customer promises at risk.

Failure-mode testing gives your team a chance to intentionally create those problems in a controlled environment, then validate whether your systems, fallback plans, and recovery processes actually work.

What peak-season failure scenario would you most want to rehearse before it happens?

Build a failure mode test plan for peak demand: validate capacity, carrier and API outages, inventory spikes, and recovery with supply chain system testing.

What would a successful go-live weekend look like if it were almost boring?

Instead of late-night patches and emergency calls, imagine orders flowing, labels printing, carriers arriving, and operations keeping their normal rhythm.

Our latest post explores how continuous, automated supply chain testing can help teams get there by validating real ERP, WMS, and TMS workflows under realistic conditions before Go Live.

The goal is not simply to pass testing. It is to know your operation is ready when the switch flips.

What would make your team more confident heading into its next major Go Live?
