Achieved 95% Test Coverage:
Accelerating SAP Testing for a Leading Global Biopharmaceutical Company
Business Challenges
During the migration, the customer faced multiple testing-related roadblocks that impacted timelines, resource
efficiency, and upgrade readiness:
4+ weeks which involved 15+ business users
Low Test Coverage: Only ~60% of critical business scenarios were being tested
Manual Dependency: Heavy reliance on manual validation led to errors and inconsistencies
Upgrade Bottlenecks: Frequent S/4HANA upgrades increased test scope and pressure on QA teams
Tool Limitations: Traditional tools couldn’t effectively automate SAP GUI processes
High Testing Costs: Repetitive manual efforts escalated time and cost per release
The Solution
Customer engaged Digitide to implement Tricentis Tosca to automate their SAP testing processes across modules
like MM, HUM, and FI. The engagement began with a detailed feasibility analysis to identify critical business
scenarios and validate SAP GUI compatibility. Reusable test modules were built using SAP XScan, and data-driven
testing was enabled through Toscas TestCase Design. Tests were executed across ECC and S/4HANA environments,
leveraging Toscas execution lists and logs for structured test runs and reporting. Dashboards were also set up to
monitor test coverage and defect trends.
Value Delivered
By automating their SAP testing with Tricentis Tosca, the customer significantly reduced manual dependency and testing complexity, which had previously required over 15 business users and extended testing timelines. The shift to automated, reusable test components also improved consistency across upgrades, minimized operational risk, and enabled their teams to focus on higher-value activities with greater confidence in release readiness.
