With its flexible data structures, rich UI and real-time insights, SAP S/4HANA is a momentous release in SAP’s history. It is the door to drive innovation in your enterprise at higher speed. The announced end of life for your current SAP ECC environment in 2027 inevitably pushes you towards a complex S/4HANA transformation project. Not enough to handle the number of standard SAP releases and custom changes in the current environment, what comes with S/4HANA poses far more challenges for your organization. Looking into your current quality assurance, do you find yourself in this situation?
Are your key users typically supporting SAP releases with their manual tests? Are you facing the upcoming challenge how to convince your business teams to support with massive testing when moving to S/4HANA? Are you in the dilemma to probably run short on test support, but at the same time understand that failing in the project is not an option? A complete failure would not just cost a fortune but most likely jeopardize your core business operations as well. Even a rollback is no homerun! And going live with a lot of failures followed by a very critical hypercare phase also does not sound like fun.
What can you do to overcome this huge challenge and sleep well? The problem with software releases consists of two major aspects that you should cover: Firstly, you must count on a set of test cases that is covering most of your risk. Sounds trivial but think of the whole SAP system changing. Where to start and how to measure the risk? Secondly, you must be sure that this set is executable at any given release time. And have in mind , that it mustn’t be executed by your businesspeople! You must count on machine support! SAP is well prepared for this journey.
