Dandee Consulting provides independent Workday testing for implementations and for live tenants managing two feature releases a year. We build the test strategy, run the cycles, and give you evidence a steering committee can sign against.

What's included

What Our Testing Consultants Deliver

Testing is run as a discipline with named owners, entry and exit criteria, and defect triage your programme can actually track.

  • Test strategy and plan covering unit, functional, integration, parallel payroll, security and UAT
  • Test script authoring against your configured business processes, not generic templates
  • Parallel payroll testing with gross-to-net variance analysis and tolerance reporting
  • Integration testing across EIBs, Core Connectors and Studio integrations with upstream and downstream systems
  • Security and role-based testing so each persona sees only what it should
  • Regression packs maintained for Workday release weekends (R1 and R2)
  • UAT coordination — business tester onboarding, scheduling, defect triage and daily reporting

What Our Testing Consultants Deliver

Engagement Models And Indicative Pricing

  • Test strategy and readiness review — two weeks, fixed fee, with a gap analysis and cycle plan.
  • Embedded test workstream — test lead plus analysts for the duration of your implementation.
  • Release regression as a service — a fixed block of days each release window, twice a year.
  • Day rate — senior Workday test consultants from GBP 700 per day.

Effort depends on module count, integration count and how many countries are in payroll scope. We quote a fixed scope after reviewing your configuration workbook.

Why Independent Testing Matters

  • Your implementation partner testing its own configuration is not assurance
  • Consultants who have run parallel payroll to sign-off in production environments
  • Evidence packs suitable for audit, internal control and steering committee reporting
  • UK and European time zones, English-language delivery
