Sedstart can handle small UI changes with self-healing, so many tests continue to run without updates. After major upgrades, we recommend running your regression suite to identify what needs adjustment. Updates are typically quick because tests are built using a visual, drag-and-drop approach.
No-Code Automation Testing for IBM Maximo
Automate 90% of your test cases and reduce upgrade validation time.
Challenges with Manual Testing in Maximo
Organizations that rely on IBM Maximo and MAS need stable and accurate processes across Work Management, Asset Management, Inventory, Purchasing, and Mobile operations. Manual testing struggles to keep pace with frequent Maximo updates, leading to delayed release cycles, increased risk of production issues, and limited ability to fully leverage Maximo’s evolving capabilities. This creates bottlenecks in quality assurance, impacting release speed, and overall system reliability.
Testing Delays in Upgrades and Deployments: Upgrading from Maximo 7.6 to MAS 9 or applying regular patches requires extensive regression testing. Manual testing slows these projects and extends go-live timelines.
Slow and Repetitive Testing Cycles: Maximo workflows involve multiple steps across different roles. Validating these processes manually takes significant time and must be repeated for every change.
Limited Test Coverage: Manual testers often focus on critical scenarios, leaving many edge cases, integrations, and mobile workflows untested. This increases the chance of defects reaching production.
High Chance of Human Error: Repetitive checks on fields, statuses, and transactions can lead to mistakes, especially in complex modules like Work Orders and Inventory.
Why Choose Sedstart for Maximo?
Enterprise-Grade Capabilities Purpose-Built for Maximo's Complexity
Sedstart is a no-code automation platform purpose-built to handle Maximo’s complex UI and technical architecture. It allows teams to build and automate test flows without writing code, using a visual approach.
Faster Validation
Parallel execution allows you to run hundreds of tests simultaneously, significantly reducing execution time.
Deployment Choice
Choose from SaaS, Customer Cloud (AWS/Azure), or On-premise models to match your data residency requirements.
Full Visibility
Monitor progress through real-time dashboards, detailed logs, and execution videos for easier debugging.
Unified Platform
Test both Maximo web applications and mobile workflows from a single interface.
Reduced Effort
Eliminate the need for specialized developers; business users and SMEs can just record Maximo transactions and build automated test scripts.
Environment Flexibility
Reuse tests across DEV, TEST, UAT, and PROD environments using parameterized configurations.
Self-Healing Test
Minor UI changes are handled automatically, while a drag-and-drop feature makes manual updates simple for major upgrades.
Maximo-Specific Library
Use pre-built playbooks and components designed specifically for the Maximo Application Suite (MAS) to start automating quickly.
Maximo Testing Services We Support
Comprehensive Coverage for Your MAS Environment
Regression Testing
- Run a full post-upgrade regression to confirm nothing breaks after the MAS upgrade
- Identify the impact of configuration changes on key transactions
- Verify critical business processes end-to-end (for example: work order lifecycle, approvals, inventory transactions)
Mobile Application Testing
- Validate native mobile app flows used by technicians and storekeepers
- Test mobile workflow steps and role-based actions
- Verify synchronization behavior (online/offline, sync conflicts, data refresh)
Functional Testing
- Validate workflows that match your customer-specific processes
- Verify UI configurations (screens, fields, rules)
- Confirm both custom and out-of-the-box (OOB) functions work as expected
- Validate existing automation scripts
Load Testing
- Validate performance of core Maximo applications like Start center, work order, asset, etc
- Test critical transactions, including workflows, change status, run reorder, etc
- Generate high concurrent user load

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Tests can be parameterized so the same test can run across DEV, TEST, UAT, and PROD using environment-specific values and configurations.
It depends on the test and the workflow complexity. Sedstart supports parallel execution, so you can run many tests at the same time and shorten overall test cycles.
Sedstart captures execution details such as logs, screenshots, and error messages to help with faster diagnosis. Teams can also review the run using playback and execution recordings.
Yes. Sedstart supports end-to-end integration testing, including API validation, database checks, and workflow verification across connected systems.
