The benchmarking procedure is standardized and well defined. It is monitored by the SAP benchmark council made up of representatives of SAP and technology partners involved in benchmarking. Originally introduced to strengthen quality assurance, the SAP Standard Application Benchmarks can also be used to test and verify scalability, concurrency, power efficiency, and multi-user behavior of system software components, RDBMS, and business applications.
While the majority of benchmarks are run online, the SAP APO, SAP BW, HR (Payroll), PS, Retail, and ISU/CCS Benchmarks are run in the background, and the TRBK Benchmark has both an online section and a batch section.
