Case Study: Accelerating SAP Testing

SAP testing accelerators are a new trend from software testing vendors to introduce or facilitate automation testing efforts. SAP test accelerators are a prebuilt library of previously automated test cases representing SAP test transactions that can be customized or modified to meet a project’s specific and unique configuration settings. SAP test accelerators hold the promise of reducing the cycle time to automate SAP end-to-end processes (i.e., hire-to-retire, request-to-pay, etc.) while empowering the SAP project’s nontechnical members to assemble and execute automated test cases. Although SAP testing accelerators ostensibly offer superior benefits over traditional SAP automation efforts whereby SAP transactions are recorded from scratch, they also have potential drawbacks that are often obscure and can hamper automation progress. Many of the drawbacks from SAP testing accelerators are overcome with what is known as a “next-generation accelerator.”
