Focus on functionality and business logic
The introduction of SAP solutions, including system upgrades and support and enhancement packages, generates a need for testing. The broad functional spectrum of SAP applications requires extensive testing of functionality and business logic.
SAP tests differ from other test procedures in the following points:
- SAP tests are very extensive. Adjustments, customizations and business processes all have to be validated.
- SAP systems must be tested regularly. An example of this would be when patches are applied. The development of a representative set of test cases is particularly worthwhile in cases like these.
- SAP tests are complex and time consuming, making test automation of primary importance.
- SAP systems usually have numerous interfaces – this is another focus of SAP testing.
- Data integrity must be guaranteed, especially during migrations. When changing to SAP, it is essential to check the datasets.
- In many systems, the overall performance is critical, thus corresponding measurements are part of the standard procedure in SAP testing.
