Optimizing Testing During RISE with SAP Implementation with Protiviti and UiPath
Meet the Authors
Key Takeaways
⇨ RISE with SAP implementation requires multiple testing stages within the broader IT environment, such as unit testing, system integration testing, user acceptance testing, and performance testing.
⇨ Creating comprehensive test scripts for end-to-end processes is crucial for effective and continuous testing during ERP implementations.
⇨ UiPath’s Test Suite emerges as a robust solution to these challenges, offering advanced features like requirements traceability, test planning, and seamless integration with ALM tools such as SAP Solution Manager and Cloud ALM to streamline the entire testing process.
RISE with SAP is gaining traction among businesses due to its AI-powered Cloud ERP, automated business processes, and continuous innovations, all hosted on a secure infrastructure managed by SAP. However, in any ERP implementation or upgrade, thorough testing is essential, and this is especially true for the RISE with SAP program. RISE with SAP implementation requires multiple testing stages within the broader IT environment, such as unit testing, system integration testing, user acceptance testing, and performance testing. Since RISE involves more frequent system upgrades and a greater number of integration points across the IT landscape compared to earlier SAP versions, ongoing regression testing has become increasingly critical.
Creating comprehensive test scripts for end-to-end processes is crucial for effective and continuous testing during ERP implementations. These scripts must be meticulously prioritized and tracked to ensure timely reporting and clear communication with project leadership. This approach not only verifies the entry and exit criteria for each testing phase but also helps prevent quality control issues, overlooked business requirements, and user adoption challenges after go-live. Neglecting these aspects can lead to excessive defects during the hypercare phase and undermine the success of the ERP implementation.
UiPath’s Test Suite emerges as a robust solution to these challenges, offering advanced features like requirements traceability, test planning, and seamless integration with ALM tools such as SAP Solution Manager and Cloud ALM to streamline the entire testing process. What sets UiPath apart is its capability to automate both user interfaces and APIs, enabling the reuse of test scripts for automating business processes—something that many other tools cannot match. The addition of UiPath’s Autopilot for Test Suite further elevates testing efficiency by leveraging AI to generate test cases from plain language descriptions and analyze test results, delivering actionable insights. This makes UiPath an invaluable asset for optimizing testing phases during a RISE with SAP implementation, ensuring both quality and control are maintained without sacrificing efficiency.
