SAP and Tricentis partnership details

SAP SE and Tricentis have expanded their existing partnership (see press release). All SAP customers with an SAP Enterprise Support* agreement will be entitled to use Tricentis Test Automation for SAP as a term license. Customers will benefit from an easier transition to SAP S/4HANA or the Intelligent Enterprise suite, from accelerated implementation or change projects, and from higher quality as well. This partnership broadens the capabilities of SAP ALM solutions in the domain of test automation.

Tricentis Test Automation for SAP includes test case authoring for automated tests, test data services, and the support for all UIs and APIs in SAP products. Especially API testing will become more important in modern agile cloud environments. The inclusion of a test recorder for non-technical business users is crucial. The very powerful authoring environment allows adjustments without code level scripting in collaboration between business users and test coordinators. Automated test cases are robust and resistant to change in UIs.

Integration of the existing ALM platforms SAP Solution Manager and SAP Cloud ALM with Tricentis Test Automation for SAP is / will be done via their open interfaces. The ALM platforms come with Test Management capabilities. This includes test planning & preparation, test orchestration & test reporting, manual testing, defect management, and exploratory testing, in which you can integrate Tricentis Test Automation for SAP. With this the tools complement each other perfectly by focusing on their individual strengths: SAP's ALM platforms for test managements and Tricentis for the execution of automated tests. SAP's ALM platforms remain in control as the overall orchestrator of the application lifecycle.

Component-based Test Automation (CBTA) will be supported as long as SAP Solution Manager will be supported. However, CBTA will not be expanded to cover cloud products of SAP. SAP Cloud ALM does not provide an SAP home-grown automation engine. Our ALM platforms will remain open for other third-party test automation integration.

Using Tricentis Test Automation for SAP will be available for all SAP customers under SAP Enterprise Support* doing test automation for SAP components. In addition to this OEM agreement, the partnership between SAP and Tricentis includes a reseller agreement. SAP customers will be able to easily expand the test automation to enterprise test management including non-SAP components by adopting SAP Load Testing by Tricentis, SAP Change Impact Analysis by Tricentis, or SAP Enterprise Continuous Testing by Tricentis.

SAP Change Impact Analysis by Tricentis and Business Process Change Analyzer will both provide test scope optimization capabilities. Both will bring added value to the SAP customers with different approaches. SAP Change Impact Analysis by Tricentis will provide very short time-to-value based on objects (transactions and applications) and code scanning, BPCA will also provide object-oriented results with its semi-dynamic TBOM approach but will provide as well process-oriented results for the customers willing to invest in Business Process documentation and dynamic TBOMs.

With this, customers will get everything they need from SAP for test automation and test management on enterprise level.

 

* The scope encompassed to SAP Enterprise Support is also valid for Product Support for Large Enterprises and our premium engagements SAP ActiveAttention, and SAP MaxAttention.
