Flaky Tests Break Every Release. Here’s How to Fix Them for Good.
TL;DR A flaky test is the one that failed this morning, passed on rerun, and changed nothing about your code in between. One is an annoyance. A few hundred across a regression suite is a release problem, because the team stops trusting red. People rerun until the pipeline goes green, and a real failure hides […]
SAP Manual Testing vs. Automation: What to Use When
TL;DR “Manual or automated” sounds like a single decision a testing team makes once. It isn’t. It’s a decision you make separately for every SAP process you test, and the right answer changes depending on what that process actually is. Some SAP testing content treats automation as the obvious upgrade from manual and manual as […]
How to Build a SAP Test Automation Framework
TL;DR Most teams don’t fail at test automation because they can’t write a script that works. They fail because the tenth script looks nothing like the first one, the twentieth breaks something the fifth one already handled, and six months in, nobody can say with confidence which tests actually cover which SAP process. That’s not […]
What Is SAP Testing? The Complete Guide
TL;DR SAP testing is the practice of validating that an SAP system, its custom code, its configuration, and the business processes running through it actually work, correctly, reliably, and without breaking something else, every time a change goes in. That sounds like testing any enterprise application. It isn’t, and the difference is architectural, not cosmetic. […]
Implement S/4HANA Faster: Best Practices for 2026
TL;DR Most organizations don’t get stuck because nobody told them S/4HANA migrations take time. They get stuck because the levers that actually shorten a timeline sit in a handful of specific decisions, deployment model, how much you customize versus adopt standard process, and how early you deal with custom code, and those decisions rarely get […]
The SAP S/4HANA Migration Testing Checklist for 2026
TL;DR SAP’s own support strategy page states plainly that mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 core applications runs “until the end of 2027.” For most ECC customers on Enhancement Packages 6 through 8, that’s the real deadline. Extended maintenance buys three more years, through the end of 2030, at a fee. That means any […]
SAP Fiori Test Automation: Challenges and Tips for 2026
TL;DR SAP Fiori runs in a browser. That single fact has led a lot of testing content, including our own comparison of Worksoft and Sahi Pro for SAP and Teamcenter testing, to describe Fiori as reachable by any competent web automation tool. That’s accurate as far as it goes. SAP GUI’s Java-based rich client needs […]
SAP Regression Testing: Strategy and Best Practices for 2026
TL;DR Most teams do not fail at SAP regression testing because they wrote too few test cases. They fail because nobody can say, with any confidence, what a given SAP change actually touches. A pricing rule update in Sales and Distribution can change how an invoice posts in Finance. A Materials Management change can ripple […]
The Case for Building a Shared Application Spec Before Writing a Single Test
A shared, verified specification, not a smarter prompt, is what makes AI-generated tests trustworthy. TL;DR A team runs the same prompt through the same AI test generation tool twice, a day apart, against the same application. They get two different test suites. Neither is wrong. Neither is the same. This is the specific failure covered […]
When Only One Person Understands the Test Suite, You Have a Coverage Problem
Test coverage percentages hide a risk that has nothing to do with how many tests exist. TL;DR A test suite reports 87% coverage. Leadership is satisfied. Then the one engineer who built most of it takes two weeks of leave, and a routine feature change needs a test updated. Nobody else on the team is […]
