Accelerate and automate your testing for significantly better results throughout the process.
Testing is a good thing, right? Actually, the wrong kind of
testing can be time consuming, resource intensive, and
ineffective. Fortunately, there is a better way that can
reduce traditional testing efforts by a full 70%. This
approach is accelerated (to get the bugs out before launch)
and automated (backed by numerous software solutions and
services).
A comprehensive package of solutions
Automated testing allows you to take a comprehensive,
front-end strategic approach – compared to the constraints
that the reactive manual process sets up (one item at a time
and often too late). By planning a solid road map before
upgrades, modifications, and migrations occur, you enjoy the
benefits of a holistic approach (that takes every possible
contingency into account). From there, automation
dramatically reduces the time, effort, and cost required to
build and execute test scripts and components.
The result: a fully integrated solution set that yields a
best-of-breed Center of Excellence (CoE). You will reap the
rewards of reduced time and test costs, lower risk,
consistency, eliminated downtime, increased productivity,
enhanced resource allocation, maximized deployments, and the
ability to adapt to change more quickly because your
solutions will work throughout the entire life-cycle of all
your applications. You will benefit from numerous integrated
software solutions:
SAP Testing Solutions:
- SAP Test Acceleration and Optimization provides
preconfigured, automated, functional accelerators to
automatically generate test components for SAP graphical
user interface based transactions. This is the
cornerstone to reducing manual testing by 70%.
- The SAP LoadRunner application by HP uses standardized
load-testing capabilities to predict system behavior and
performance.
- The SAP Quality Center application by HP uses
comprehensive, automated functionality to increase
testing speed, accuracy, adaptability, and efficiency.
- The SAP Solution Manager adapter for SAP Quality Center
by HP interfaces to allow users to fully integrate test
processes between the two solutions, speeding test
preparation and execution via a single point of access
to the complete software landscape. This solution also
provides central data storage to facilitate reuse of
testing materials in other projects. Together, the two
applications let you initiate testing while
simultaneously configuring process structures.
- SAP Test Data Migration Server helps manage effective
data management testing with best-practice guidance on
process integration. As a result, you can take a more
agile approach to automated regression, functionality,
and business process testing by enabling users to create
small, user-friendly test environments and populating
them with a manageable set of up-to-date,
business-relevant test data. This ensures consistency in
the live software environment and allows you to minimize
infrastructure and maintenance expenses while maximizing
the effectiveness and accuracy of your systems.
SAP Testing Services Through SAP Consulting:
- The Testing-Strategy Assessment Service helps you
design a strategy and road map that ties back to
business demands and meets your immediate and ongoing
application and performance testing needs. Our experts
will lead you through a step-by-step process to evaluate
your needs. From there, they will guide you in the
transition to the actual testing process.
- The Functional Testing Service lets you accelerate and
automate your testing cycles and test earlier in the
software development life-cycle, so you can confidently
complete testing that is thorough and accurate before
applications go live. Our consulting team also oversees
installation and set up before guiding you into
successful execution.
- The Performance Testing Service utilizes SAP LoadRunner
to cover the three most important areas of performance:
volume, stress, and throughput.
