CRM Application Testing
The first test cycle in CRM testing should focus on issues related to data quality and conversion. At every step of a migration or update the testers should verify that the CRM is working as expected for both with and without data.
Below is the check list to ensure data quality:
1.Duplication of data: No redundancy should be allowed.
2. Hidden data is indeed hidden: Only the appropriate data should be visible according to the user roles and type.
3.Data maps correctly: Grid issues where a selected row’s data goes out of alignment with the fields when scrolled down. This should be eliminated.
4.New and updated data should be saved properly: Customer information and card information should save and update properly.
5.Partial and full search work as desired: Users should be able to search by first name, last name, company, card is deemed necessary.
6.No data is missing: All of the required data should be available to the right user levels.
7.Graphs should represent data correctly: Critical data like store-specific and program-specific filters and sales percentages should be accurate.
8.Data sorting: All of the fields that need to be sortable should works as desired.
9.CRM installs correctly: No critical GUI issues should arise during installation even when the user misses the data during installation.
10.Data saved in one field does not move to another field after saving it: Fields like address, which may need more than one field, should save to the correct fields.
11.Check that data which is not supposed to be editable is indeed not editable: Data like date and time of transaction should not be editable.
Functional Testing
This deals with the application’s function and ensures that it fits during the migration of data from another legacy system. The values and other data should be populated in the correct fields.
Below is functional checklist for CRM Testing –.
- Organization wide default
- Access level
- Accessible to hidden data
- Transaction processes
- Connection lost
- Proper exception handling
- Avoid data mismatch
- Pre-Authorization
- Post-Authorization

Integration Testing
This will be a challenge in CRM applications where we will be migrating or integrating third party applications into the CRM.
Listed are the must see features during integration testing of a CRM.
- Field and Labels matching
- Dependencies Integration
- Date format
- Reports
- Data Validation
- Sorting order

Performance Testing
The CRM application should be tested under pressure or stress or load. This can measure the effects of concurrent users on the system’s performance.
Performance Check List for CRM Testing –.
- Response time
- Server utilization
- Peak hours testing
- Loading speed
- Error with any other integrated applications due to this
- Maximum number of users
