SAP test automation:
tens of thousands of hours, unmanned.

A resources company needed continuous regression across its SAP and SuccessFactors landscape without adding testers. PinnacleQM's SAP test automation now runs tens of thousands of SAP and SuccessFactors test hours every month, fully unmanned, at no additional cost.

SAP and SuccessFactors regression automation
The challenge

Continuous SAP change.
Limited people.

The company's SAP and SuccessFactors landscape supports finance, supply chain and HR across its operations. Patches, releases and configuration changes arrive continuously, and each one needs regression testing before it reaches production, without slowing the business or holding up other planned change.

The company needed regression at a scale that matched the pace of SAP change, without growing headcount or taking business users away from operations. Coverage also had to be consistent every month, so patches and releases could reach production with the same level of confidence.

What made it hard

Continuous SAP and HR change
Patches, releases and configuration changes needed regular regression before reaching production, every month without exception.
Scale of regression
Tens of thousands of test hours were needed each month to cover the SAP and SuccessFactors landscape properly.
No added headcount
The company wanted full regression coverage without growing its testing team or adding cost to each release.
Our solution

Virtual testers doing
the heavy lifting.

PinnacleQM automated SAP and SuccessFactors processes with its AI automation platforms. Virtual testers execute the regression on schedule, fully unmanned, so coverage scales to tens of thousands of test hours a month without people at the keyboard.

Natural-language scripts describe the company's SAP and SuccessFactors processes, so they are easy to maintain as the landscape changes, and can be reused across projects, support and releases. Assets built once keep delivering value with every patch and configuration change.

How it was delivered

Automation that runs itself
each month.

Automation moved regression from people to platforms.

The proof

Regression at scale,
without extra cost.

The company tests far more than it could manually.
