This is more of a field specific type question. Is anyone on this site a Testing Manager for IT applications - Cloud and on premise ERP systems as well as other applications involving patches, upgrades or just establishing a periodic testing of functions to ensure continuity and functionality is working. In my own company I have an opportunity for a newly created role in a newly created department inside our IT Division that doesn't exist currently. It would be a build from the ground up and establishing direction with testing, testing automation, and standards. It is a huge opportunity and I would love to see job descriptions and connect with anyone who could give me insight into their world. Including common pitfalls, ah ha moments, etc

I am not, then why I responding, I get it. BUT look at HRIS positions, in my company the HRIS drives the testing site for our ATS system. Then partner with our amazing IT partners for functionality and continuity. Maybe those descriptions will provide insight? I VALUE our HRIS and IT leaders so much!

I am not a testing manager but have worked as a software engineering application manager at an ERP software company. Being on the development side, I had to manage and coordinate testing related to our cloud and on-premise ERP software. I'd be glad to connect and share with you my experience with these activities.

why not use meetup or user groups for the tools you use? forums for specific technical products IE:AWS user groups will net you the things you want.

I work with ERP implementations regularly though not specifically as testing manager. The testing phase for cloud and on premise ERP systems is critical especially during updates and patch deployments. Many companies underestimate how much testing is needed when integrating ERP with existing applications. I've seen FirstBit Riyadh KSA handle several large ERP rollouts and they have dedicated testing protocols for both cloud and local deployments. They deal with integration testing between modules like finance inventory and HR plus third party connections. If you're looking for testing management opportunities in ERP space the implementation partners usually need experienced people who understand testing frameworks for business applications
