Why do you need automated testing and reliable test data?

As an SAP customer, you face the challenge of bringing new developments to market quickly, while ensuring stability and reliability. The complex architecture and interconnected nature of IT landscapes mean that even minor changes can have significant impacts.

Speeding up the testing process is crucial for you to mitigate the risks associated with these changes. Automation not only accelerates testing cycles, but also enhances accuracy, minimising human error. However, even with automated testing, you still need to have reliable test data in non-production systems to ensure that the tests are effective. Test automation is only as good as the data it is testing with.

Derisk your SAP S/4HANA project with automated testing

With the move to SAP S/4HANA, and companies transforming their SAP landscapes, testing has become even more important. Automating your end-to-end testing process bring changes to Production faster, with less effort and at lower cost. The strategic partnership between EPI-USE Labs and Worksoft facilitates this process. You get seamless testing automation with secure, ready-to-use data in your test environments.

Two ways to leverage Data Sync Manager (DSM) and Worksoft test automation

Prepare the test environment

Most test automation leverages existing master data to run transactions and process flows such as 'order to cash' or 'procure to pay'. The client in which those test processes run should have master data and customising as accurate as possible compared to Production, with the additional config and data changes being tested layered on top.

Use Client Sync, part of the Data Sync Manager (DSM)™ Suite, every month to create an additional lean test automation client in your existing QA system. This will enable you to isolate changes for testing, without disrupting the existing non-production capability. By using only customising and master data (no transactional history), the size impact on the existing system is minimal. Filtering on company code could reduce the volume even further.

Automate the test data management process

Using the proprietary Object Extractor, EPI-USE Labs is able to populate test sets directly from data as it is recorded in Production systems, and Object Sync to align critical master data in the test system, sidestepping the common problem highlighted by test automation professionals of having to deal with inaccurate data and the errors it causes.

Leverage Object Extractor to drive automated testing on the data periodically as it occurs in Production.

The DSM Object Extractor can be called – either by API, or by screen automation by Worksoft – to read just the key characteristics of transactions that happen in Production to feed the test automation layout sheets. This means your projects and even BAU changes can be automatically tested against data as it happens in Production, alerting you only when there is an error.

Integrate Object Sync into the test automation processes. Leverage the DSM APIs, or use screen automation to provision the latest versions of Materials, Pricing Conditions, Employees, etc. as the test script that leverages them runs.

The automation provisions the relevant data before it runs the tests that leverage it. This is particularly beneficial for industries where critical master data changes regularly, such as condition records in FMCG businesses.
