How to automate business scenario testing with Int4 IFTT and Tricentis Test Automation for SAP

The dream of automated testing and the end goal of many test automation projects is to automate the whole process from end to end. Processes like Order to Cash or Procure to Pay. The holy grail is to replicate all the triggers, integrations, and manual steps involved in the process with a click of a button. Then wait for the results and verify if the system correctly executed all the steps along the process. Next, go to the details, the single values on each document, and the interface involved in the process. 

Int4 IFTT is a script-less SAP API testing tool to test all your integrations. It’s a powerful tool that speeds up roll-outs deployments and helps with massive regression testing of APIs. It can quickly compare created documents in the backend system and outgoing messages in any format going to any receiver. But in our search for the holy grail, we’ve got one piece missing, replication of manual action in UI. So here comes the integration of Int4 IFTT with TTA, which offers automated testing of all SAP products without restrictions on UI technologies (SAPUI5, Fiori, SAP GUI, SuccessFactors, Ariba,…). TTA is a part of SAP Solution Manager, so you may start to think big when you have Int4 IFTT installed on that same Solution Manager.

What are the profits of building cloud services with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (SAP CAP)

We all experience a constantly increasing number and impact of various applications and IT solutions aimed at solving our everyday problems and making our lives easier. Usually, from a user point of view, our interaction with these apps ends as soon as we click a button and complete a task or obtain information we were interested in, and we are not aware of what actually happened behind the scenes at the time.

But it’s worth realizing that the solutions we use are typically only a piece of a larger puzzle of various IT systems integrated with each other. These integrations can be made through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), thus they can be considered as fuel that drives innovations. However, fuel is only part of the success, so you also should use the right vehicle which in the solution described in the first article of this blog series is the API Management (APIM) capability of SAP Integration Suite on which I will shed some more light in this text.

Testing SAP PI/PO Splitter with Int4 IFTT

Int4 IFTT is a tool that allows testing of different types of SAP interfaces and business scenarios. Many of them use the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) standard to communicate business objects like sales orders, invoices, etc. between business partners. EDI allows the interchange of data between many partners without modifications or developments of new interfaces for every partner because it provides a generic and standardized definition of business documents.
