With the approaching 2027 deadline for SAP ECC, many companies are planning to migrate to the S/4HANA cloud. Nevertheless, migration to S/4HANA is not a lightweight process but one that requires major strategic planning. With this in mind, third-party providers are launching initiatives that could accelerate and ease the process of migration. Among such initiatives is automated testing.
Automated testing is an application that utilizes software tools to automate the manual process of reviewing a software product. One of the ways to deploy automated testing is through service virtualization and testing (SVT). SVT is a method that helps emulate the behavior of specific components in API-driven applications, cloud-based applications, and service-oriented architectures. Today, SVT is becoming a highly popular method among SAP users because it helps to ease the process of testing SAP business processes, eliminate delays, and maintain control over the whole transformation journey.
One of the strongest providers of SVT solutions is Int4 – a supplier of third-party systems and EDI partner simulation. The company offers INT4 Suite, a certified ABAP add-on for SAP Solution Manager – SAP Solman. The add-on provides SAP users with ways to quickly simulate both the interfaces/APIs of any third-party and B2B/EDI partners.
A scriptless SAP API testing tool, Int4 Suite aims to secure the growth of companies through the elimination of risks related to the manual entering of data. With this tool, businesses can independently run testing without third-party involvement thanks to the service virtualization of connected systems.
While not an easy ride, the transition to SAP S/4HANA is a necessary step for many companies. Therefore, to help make that journey smooth, seamless, and efficient, SAP users can turn to SAP-certified suppliers of automated testing like Int4. This way, businesses can enjoy virtualization and testing with eliminated delays and risks while staying in full control over the process.
