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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
