Bina Parmar from SAP UKI Testing will present Transform Manual Testing with HP Sprinter.

You will see how HP Sprinter improves collaboration between QA and development with improved defect communication, how it reduces the need to perform repetitive steps and minimise testing effort to run the same test on multiple configurations.  If you are interested in gaining an insight into a new generation of test methodology, then this session is not to be missed.

Udo Apel from Borland will be delivering the session: Complete Test Automation of SAP Lifecycle Quality:  Blueprint, Requirements, Performance, Regression

SAP® applications deliver substantial value to enterprises worldwide and the business-critical nature of SAP deployments puts quality concerns firmly on the CIO’s agenda.
Testing is seen as a major cost in deploying an SAP application, as applications become more complex moving forward in their lifecycle. About 25 % of the applications change within just 1 year. The ongoing modifications, customizations and rollout of service packs creates high risk.

What is needed is a highly automated process covering all aspects from blueprint changes – reflecting changes in requirements – testing and managing incidents, and one which incorporates reports and dashboards to provide visibility of the overall processes.
SAP customers continue to seek solutions which address their key challenges and need to:
•

• Business Side
  – Manage the lifecycle quality from business (inside SolMan)
  – Test all critical functions
  – Pass over blueprint and requirements to be tested before go live!
  – Test coverage (BI) and success

• Quality Assurance
  – Manage out of “Test Management Tool
  – Understand what “must be tested
  – Understand what changed
