Int4 IFTT – Use Case

Continuous testing in SAP Integration

Automated continuous testing – scenario description

Test automation with Int4 IFTT enables fast-paced production deployments, assuring high quality and faultlessness for SAP Process Orchestration, SAP Cloud Platform Integration, SAP S/4HANA interface implementation as well as other integration technologies. Apart from the initial automation, it supports the process that will ensure that the test-cases repository would always be up-to-date.

Problems to be solved:

35% of the development cost is testing expenses. Multiple studies prove that testing accounts for 30-40% of development cost in general IT projects. SAP integration is even more sensitive for testing due to the reusing of existing components
Not enough testing coverage, Focus more on UI and E2E testing. The integration is ignored or remain untested
Knowledge transfer between project and support teams is always a bottleneck

Predicted outcome:

Continuous testing is a fundamental concept in DevOps
A fast pace introduction of changes
100% test coverage in any execution cycle
30% reduction in defects slippage, due to increased test coverage
Enables significant early defect detection
Improved confidence of quality ? One Scenario can be tested with multiple test cases

Int4 IFTT enables continuous testing by:

Support for testing SAP Process Orchestration, SAP Cloud Platform Integration, Dell Boomi, IDocs, SAP AIF and other SAP S/4HANA interface technologies
Repeater: Time for Creation of test cases minimized to a minimum by reusing existing messages.
Freedom of testing: 3rd party systems and resources are not needed to conduct SAP testing of application interfaces

Shift Left: Test your change directly on the development system with production data
The running of thousands of TCs per night in the background
The integration of ticketing systems like SAP Solution Manager or Service Now
Business-oriented: allows testing the business processes instead of single interfaces
