Reduce SAP Defects & Cut Project Timelines, Without Any Extra Testers

SAP test automation

Many businesses rely on SAP solutions to run the internal system that powers their businesses. They invest significant time and resources in implementing and maintaining an organisation-wide SAP landscape.

Anyone who has ever been involved in an SAP project knows that a massive chunk of this time can be taken up with functional testing. S/4HANA has only increased the importance of functional testing, with its continuous innovation approach and regular releases pushed out to customers.

When done inefficiently, SAP testing really throttles progress and can take a project way over budget. 

This is where automated testing comes into play, and increasingly, AI-based automation. Test automation with a solution like OpenText (previously Micro Focus) UFT One, with its AI-based capabilities, allows you to test earlier and wider, and in less time with fewer resources.

UFT One’s AI-Based Capabilities

UFT One is a leading software testing tool that provides organisations with the ability to automate their SAP testing process. One of its key features is its AI-based capabilities, which include artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms help UFT One understand and analyse the SAP system, allowing it to identify potential issues and make recommendations for improvement.

4 Reasons Why You Should Automate SAP Testing with UFT One

  1. Broad Application Support: UFT One allows you to automate more applications than any other tool, this is crucial when testing an SAP implementation that interfaces into multiple other solutions within your landscape.
  2. Improved Testing Efficiency: Automating SAP testing with UFT One saves time and resources compared to manual testing. UFT One can perform complex testing tasks faster.
  3. Enhanced Accuracy: UFT One’s AI-based capabilities ensure accurate and consistent results. Automation scripts often detect errors that manual testing might miss, plus AI-based automation allows you to test more processes, with more data, in less time. This results in more defects being identified earlier, which in turn means that they are cheaper, and easier to fix.
  4. Reduced Costs: When it comes to testing, people are the real cost. Especially when you consider the additional project overheads associated with long testing cycles. Automated testing with UFT One reduces project timelines and directly cuts costs associated with manual testing. These include test effort costs and the cost of fixing defects that were missed during manual testing.
  5. Increased Productivity: Self-healing AI-based automation scripts will run in the background, unsupervised, during evenings, over weekends, as often as you like for no extra effort. Meanwhile, your testers are much more productive and free to focus on business-critical tasks.

Reduce SAP Defects & Cut Project Timelines, Without Any Extra Testers

SAP sits at the core of many businesses, and it takes time and money to deploy and maintain. If you can reduce the testing effort and timelines, SAP projects become faster and more dynamic. 

With UFT One, organisations can ensure their SAP systems are implemented quickly and with fewer defects.

Organisations implementing SAP should, at the very least, consider automated testing with UFT One with its AI-based capabilities. As we’ve discussed, UFT One offers numerous benefits including improved testing efficiency, enhanced accuracy, reduced costs, and increased productivity.

Should testers be allowed to block releases?

Should Testers Be Allowed to Block Releases?

Your testers find a critical bug the night before a major release. Should they have the power to stop the launch?

Testers provide essential insights into software quality and risk. Their analysis is critical for decision-makers, so would it make sense to give them the power to veto releases?

Bug seeding

Bebugging: Would You Plant Defects to Test Testers?

Would you intentionally plant defects to test your test team? Bebugging, as it’s known, is a technique where software flaws are purposely introduced to gauge testing effectiveness. Are there times and places where bebugging is a valid way to help improve processes, tighten up testing, or root out a potential weak link?

Unethical Test Tool Marketing

Exposed: Are You Being Conned By Test Tool Marketing?

We have all witnessed an alarming rise in deceptive marketing practices that undermine customer decision-making and market integrity, with tool vendors increasingly comparing their tools to industry leaders using deliberately misleading information.

Flaky Automated Tests

Are Flaky Automated Tests Better Than None at All?

Is flaky automation better than no automation at all? Does it help accelerate projects and reduce timelines, or does it end up causing more problems than it solves? And are the questions moot when, with modern AI-powered tools, there’s no excuse for flaky tests?

Software QA Mythbusting: 5 Misunderstood Testing Concepts

We’ve all been there—sitting in a meeting, nodding along, confident that everyone shares the same understanding, only to discover later that our ideas were built on shaky ground, based on false assumptions and an incomplete grasp of a complex situation. In the world of software development, nowhere is this more common, or more consequential, than with software testing.

LoadRunner: Cheaper & Easier Than JMeter?

Four years ago, I wrote about how LoadRunner Cloud was debunking the myth that open-source is cheaper. At the time, LoadRunner Cloud’s pay-as-you-go pricing, bundled infrastructure, and rapid setup were already making it a compelling alternative to JMeter and similar tools.
