What is ServiceNow is the enterprise application we use as our IT Service Management (ITSM) system at Partners HealthCare. We use it to report and track defects (aka bugs) and request Changes to the services we provide, as well as make routine requests to receive/stop receiving these services. We also maintain an IS Service Desk website, a configuration management database (CMDB), and Knowledgebases to provide more education and information about our services and their relationships.

Why Are We Upgrading? The latest version of ServiceNow will be upgraded on September 30. It is best practice to upgrade ServiceNow about once per year as their software versions become end of life every third cycle. At that point, we will no longer be supported by the ServiceNow (vendor) This upgrade does not change the way we manage our IT Service Management (ITSM) processes Minimal changes to the look and feel of our current version Many behind the scenes improvements Upgrade will kick off at 6am- Sept 30th= Sat- No downtime for users We do want to highlight that there are Minimal changes to look & feel = seamless transition for users

27
Automated Testing Framework
ATF can run testing scripts automatically for ServiceNow’s testing Technical enhancements that I alluded to at the beginning of the presentation – be of great use to the SN team. With the Automated Test Framework application, you can run testing scripts automatically on your instance . When you upgrade or modify an instance, run these tests to confirm that the instance still works as designed. Run after each release to ensure that we’re minimizing risk of bugs in PRD. It can run through various scenarios for any application or form within ServiceNow. (For example, ATF can be used to submit various kinds of CHG Requests to ensure that process is still working as designed after a Release or Upgrade.) It will capture screenshots every step of the way as documented proof of activities. Various scripts for different ServiceNow applications can be bundled and run at the same time (Test Suites). We can have a Test Suite run after every ServiceNow release. Can also be used to test Business Rules and JavaScript. Tests can be created by anyone – As easy as creating a new SN Ticket Template
