Autom8-SAP

This page introduces Autom8-SAP, a plug-in of the main test application Autom8-IT. It is a plug-in that automatically test SAP®-systems and together with the portable SAP keywords it makes a quick start of a test project possible.

Autom8-SAP creates synergy on SAP-projects as a whole, because besides using it for SAP testing it can also be used to migrate and convert master data between two (SAP)-systems and to realise the development of user instruction guides.

A user consulting the high-level business process in ASAP® could be helped by a link to a detailed user instruction, a unit test, in order to finish a SAP transaction, a part of the business process.

SAP testing

The central test application Autom8-IT, a set of SAP keywords and Autom8-SAP can be used during different test levels of a SAP implementation. These test levels are unit test, integration test, system test, acceptance test and regression test. The uniform and consistent way of writing test scripts during different test levels of the SAP-implementation create synergy at the software testing projects and quality improvement of the SAP- implementation itself.

The banners SAP test analysis and SAP test automation below the menu at this page give a look and feel of how Autom8-IT together with the Autom8-SAP plug-in runs in a SAP test environment. The more SAP testing document gives a very detailed description of the structured set-up of Autom8-SAP.

SAP data migration

The extremely high performance of Autom8-IT and the necessity to test SAP system (client)s without any data were the cause to use Autom8-IT for SAP data migrations as well. Initially this started on a small scale for testing purposes with the creation of master data.

Gradually the uploading of data was enhanced. For example: the copying (and eventually scrambling) of master data from a Production to a Test system in order to create a starting point for further testing.

Today the combination of Autom8-IT and Autom8-SAP can logon to any SAP- or legacy system and retrieve selected data. It can eventually store the retrieved data in any format. As a last step the data can be (converted by mapping structures) and distributed into multiple target SAP-systems.
