All SAP ECC and S/4 Hana users have to deal with the task of testing. But also all those who not only use SAP software, but also non-SAP in combination with SAP.

In the SAP environment, software testing also implies the division of an SAP landscape into DEV, PROD, QA and test systems as specified by the Walldorf-based software group. In principle, software testing has a long tradition in IT and SAP history. At the same time, an enormous wealth of experience has been built up in this sub-discipline. Various usable tools are used for software testing, including entire test packages. Nevertheless, it is clear that software testing involves a great deal of manual testing and a low degree of automation.

A high degree of automation in the area of software testing offers many benefits: from time, cost and resource savings, error minimization, simplification and acceleration of troubleshooting to a reduction in complexity and improved software quality.

Various providers have focused on the field of test automation (regression tests) and offer solutions for this. One example is Qualibrate with its platform of the same name, which is used by numerous well-known international companies such as Heineken, Air France, Tommy Hilfiger, Akzo Nobel and DXC Technology. SAP basis expert Empirius is the platform's sales partner in Germany.

The platform fulfills important requirements for modern and smart test automation software, especially in the SAP environment. One plus point during development was the stringently pursued simplicity of use. It means that no special programming knowledge is required. Virtually anyone can record and automatically execute test sequences according to previously defined test rules at the click of a mouse without extensive knowledge.
