SAP is considered amongst the most efficient tools in the business
world. This is the reason why most Fortune 500 companies have adopted SAP solutions
to facilitate their daily operations and reporting.
As the variety in configurations and extensions has been increasing
in SAP, the need for testing business processes and mission-critical
applications has escalated to a great extent. As a result, forward thinking companies
are continually adopting efficient testing procedures to improve the quality,
reliability, and performance of their system and meet both end-user and business
needs.
Since manual testing of complex IT systems like SAP has its limitations,
especially in terms of time, most large enterprises have moved towards automation
testing, such as DataVard KATE. KATE offers comprehensive support for SAP testing
which helps companies achieve efficient execution and higher testing quality to
improve usability and maintainability of SAP ERP and SAP BW landscape.
For companies that have not yet adopted DataVard KATE, here
are top 4 reasons why they should consider implementing the system and make the
environment more efficient and effective.
1. Lower Time and Cost of Testing
Companies pay too much attention to the cost of software
development, while the cost and productivity of software testing is often ignored.
A study has found that most companies spend 30 to 50 percent of their time on testing.
It has also been found that half the labor expended to develop a program is
typically spent on testing activities. This suggests that a significant portion
of a project’s overall cost and schedule is usually associated with software testing.
However, programs like DataVard KATE offer remarkably higher
coverage at significantly lower effort and cost, resulting in a drastic impact
on the timeline and cost of projects.
2. Improved System Quality
Using automation testing, companies may identify the system’s
performance, efficiency, as well as potential issues more effectively. With the
identification of system defects and reliability, KATE can provide a baseline for
rectifications and improvements in the system.
3. Optimized Test Coverage
Automated tests can cover most complex data structures which
increases the depth and quality of tests. Moreover, the automated tests also allow
precision schedule, which allows users to run complex tests as often as desired
without extra effort.
