SAP Software Testing Services

Systems, Applications & Products in Data Processing, or SAP is a widely used enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that enables businesses to create a centralized repository of information where every department can share and get access to common data to create better workflows. The software helps to integrate operations across finance, sales, production, logistics and human resources. By executing all business processes in a SAP system, information can flow from one module to another without unnecessary data entry. SAP software helps enterprises to run business processes efficiently while reducing operational costs.

What Is SAP Testing?

In QA, SAP testing is the process for validating the functionality of SAP modules in order to confirm that they perform as intended. QA engineers execute different types of testing in SAP whenever there are changes within this ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software, be it fixes and patch management, implementing new modules or updating configurations. Unlike many conventional testing methods, SAP testing is an output-based testing methodology.

Since this system is responsible for maintaining a database of information, it’s important to regularly carry out functional unit testing in your QA process so that all these processes deliver expected outcomes continuously.

For any SAP testing, end-to-end testing using real life simulations is very crucial for the validation of the entire software. This helps to ensure that the software, along with its integrations with external interfaces is functioning effectively as intended right from start till the end.

Benefits of SAP ERP Testing

Since businesses around the world depend on the SAP architecture to share data and information, it is important to test it and periodically upgrade the system to minimize business risks. Moreover, the introduction of new functionalities in the SAP software requires rigorous testing as well. Here are some of the benefits of SAP ERP testing:

System Validation
With SAP testing, you can get end-to-end testing and validation of SAP modules in the ERP environment.

Reduced Costs
With regular testing, it’s possible to reduce the costs associated with developing and maintaining a SAP environment.

Ensure Compliance
SAP testing will ensure that there is proper implementation of the software, all modules are working as intended, and meeting all compliance requirements.

Configuration Changes
When there are changes in the business processes, or an upgrade in the software, then testing will ensure that all configurations are working properly.

Integration
SAP testing can be used to ensure that different modules are properly integrated.

Explore Our SAP Testing Services

At QASource, we provide the following SAP testing services to our clients:

Unit Testing

Unit testing in SAP focuses on testing interfaces, workflows, reports, forms, conversions, data transfer rules and security authorization within the system.

Integration Testing

In integration tests, QA testers apply real data when tested in the testing environment and ensure that triggers, reports and workflows all function properly.

Regression Testing

Regression testing occurs whenever new updates are configured, patches are applied or new interfaces are added.

Performance Testing

Performance testing focuses on increasing the stability of the SAP software by testing system responses and concurrent user loads in order to identify any system obstructions.

Functional Testing

Since SAP applications depend on high configurability, functional tests determine whether or not the functionality of all modules meet business requirements. QA engineers create test cases, test scenarios and test requirements in order to perform functional unit testing in SAP.

Portal Testing

Since SAP systems feature multiple portals, depending on organizational requirements and business processes, it’s essential to carry out tests for the functionality of each of these portals. Alongside functional unit testing in SAP, QA testers often check the portals across different browsers and operating systems for validation.

User Acceptance Testing

User acceptance testing focuses on the system’s ability to carry out all business requirements tied to designated job functions. QA teams must understand all business processes in order to ensure the desired features and functionalities are available and functioning correctly.

Automation Testing

Using any open source tools like Selenium framework or licensed tools (i.e. TestComplete, UFT, SAP TSO etc.), users can automate functional testing scenarios of SAP web application, thereby automating all manual repetitive workflows and processes.

SAP Testing Solutions

Here are some SAP testing solutions that our engineers can offer:

Solutions

Agile Testing Adoption: In order to stay ahead of the competition, migrating to agile processes is the need of the hour. Agile testing teams are involved right from the beginning of the project planning so that last minute production code defects can be easily identified.
end-to-end testing/Integration Testing: Digital transformation from enterprise level to SAP S/4HANA platform has influenced organizations to involve testing service providers for the validation by relying on end-to-end testing.
Cloud Migration Testing: Using enterprise SAP architecture has become very costly due to infrastructural constraints. Therefore, many SAP clients have been rapidly migrating to the cloud SAP platform, which, in turn, has been creating challenges of data security. Hence, running cloud migration tests is a good practice to ensure the safety of data.
Test Automation: These days, most clients use a hybrid model, which includes both an in-house SAP domain expertise team and a specialist testing service provider. The need for faster implementation, growing complexity, and a lack of skilled SAP resources have influenced organizations to shift towards the use of test automation in SAP testing.

We, at QASource, have experienced agile testers and highly skilled test automation experts who can cater to the above latest SAP testing requirements and offer customized solutions to clients.
