The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing rapidly. Research by continuous testing and quality engineering leader Tricentis shows that 80% of software teams will be using AI within a year. Various studies also show that 32% of large organizations have actively deployed AI, and 61% of organizations are using Generative AI for code generation and auto-completion. According to SAPinsider research, there is a strong trend toward increased investment in AI adoption, with 53% of organizations planning to raise their budgets either moderately or significantly. This underscores the growing importance of AI in driving business innovation and efficiency.  Moreover, the study indicates that SAP S/4HANA is perceived as a significant driver for AI adoption, as AI has the potential to expand use cases, broaden functional applications, and accelerate implementation timelines. As enterprises increasingly adopt SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Tricentis has enhanced its integrations and AI capabilities to support this transition, reflecting a deepened partnership with SAP.

AI in QA: A Paradigm Shift

During a webinar discussing the evolution of AI in software testing, experts from Tricentis shared how AI-powered test automation could transform businesses' innovation, growth, and success. The session emphasized that quality engineering can act as the equalizer between risk and progress as companies begin to transition away from traditional testing methods and to AI infused quality engineering solutions. According to Tricentis, AI-powered features like its Vision AI self-healing tests capabilities and change impact analysis tools enhance efficiency and resilience, accelerate software delivery, and reduce development costs. Moreover, its AI copilots and autonomous test automation tools streamline test case creation and execution, driving innovation and business success. Tricentis Tosca, the company's codeless, model-based test automation tool has long been a force multiplier in helping companies transform their software testing process and enable faster innovation. Tosca’s AI features include:

• Vision AI that allows testing to start earlier in the process, even from mockups or whiteboard sketches.
• Self-healing tests that can automatically adapt to changes in applications, reducing maintenance and overhead.
• AI for risk intelligence that uses smart algorithms to identify areas of risk and improve test coverage, especially for large transformation projects.
• An AI copilot that can generate test cases directly from requirements, enhancing test case creation time and quality coverage.

Tosca also integrates with the SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP AI Hub to enhance contextual awareness and expand scope.

Tricentis at SAPinsider 2025 in Las Vegas

Tricentis is participating in SAPinsider 2025 in Las Vegas this March, where it will showcase these and other latest advancements in AI-driven quality assurance (QA) solutions tailored for SAP environments. During the event, attendees can engage with Tricentis' team of experts to gain insights into how AI and automation are revolutionizing software testing. At the speaking sessions at SAPinsider 2025, Tricentis will delve into topics such as generative AI for code creation, low-code/no-code development platforms, and autonomous testing. One of the focal points of Tricentis' participation is exploring how AI is reshaping QA in SAP transformations through in-person product demos or meetings with product experts during the event. This will allow attendees to better understand how Tricentis' AI-driven QA solutions can be tailored to their specific organizational needs.

What This Means for SAP application users

AI-driven testing accelerates SAP transformation. Leveraging AI-powered QA solutions can enhance automation, improve accuracy, and support continuous delivery in SAP environments. For example, Tricentis Tosca enables codeless test automation, allowing teams to validate SAP updates and rapidly minimize manual efforts. Seamless SAP integrations reduce risk. Tricentis' advanced tools and AI capabilities help enterprises navigate SAP transformations with minimal disruptions. A prime example is Tricentis LiveCompare, which uses AI-driven change impact analysis to identify critical changes, reduce unnecessary testing, and improve efficiency. Continuous testing supports SAP upgrades. Automated testing solutions for SAP, like the ones provided by Tricentis, help enterprises implement a continuous testing strategy. This ensures smooth transitions to SAP S/4HANA while mitigating business disruptions. Tricentis’ solutions enable customers to test 12 times faster and reduce overall testing costs by 40%. For example, a global manufacturer used Tricentis' continuous testing framework to accelerate its SAP S/4HANA migration, reducing downtime and ensuring system stability before deployment. Additionally, financial services firms leveraging Tricentis' solutions have significantly improved regulatory compliance by detecting issues early in their SAP landscapes.
