CHALLENGE: SOLUTION: OUTCOME:
Automated Test Scripting
3
of manpower are saved yearly Cost savings per year Efficiency gain per test case generation
>9’000h
PwC Switzerland
>590k 92%
Twice a year and prior to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud release
upgrade, Accelleron has three weeks to conduct
regression tests to ensure the smooth functioning of all
integrated processes.
These tests are crucial for maintaining uninterrupted
operations.
However, the scale of this task is substantial as the
workload is estimated to be around 6,400 hours for 40
countries, which is impractical and time-consuming.
Given the demanding nature of these tests, there is a
strong need for a more efficient solution that can reduce
the time and effort required while still ensuring
comprehensive coverage and reliability. Our goal is to
explore innovative strategies and tools that can help
achieve this efficiency, enabling Accelleron to maintain
its competitive edge in the market.
Automatic test variant creation, incl. test data
assignment: Test variants are testing scripts for a specific
country. The app utilizes a reference variant and
replicates it for other countries, picking up specific and
relevant business data by utilizing automatically created
CDS views.
• Significantly cutting testing times on S/4 Public Cloud
• Reduced risk of business disruptions
• Reduced resource allocation for testing
