Case Study: Aurora Public Schools achieves automated monthly financial reporting with SmartBear TestComplete

Aurora Public Schools Aces Software Tests with TestComplete

Aurora Public Schools, a K–12 district in Aurora, Colorado, faced a recurring operational challenge: each month staff had to manually schedule many financial report groups in Oracle Public Sector Financials because of special date-parameter handling. In addition to routine black‑box testing of packaged software revisions, the district needed a repeatable, reliable way to process long, repetitive scheduling and data‑entry tasks without heavy manual effort.

They used SmartBear TestComplete to script automated UI interactions—adding variables for dates and parameters, reading input files, and inserting pauses to handle screen transitions—so report groups are scheduled in minutes. The automation reduced human effort and errors, increased confidence in repeatable processes, and proved cost‑effective and adaptable for other data‑entry and testing tasks.
