  11. Scenario 1 – Automated test

  12. Customer Problem Scenario 1- SAP systemHigh cost of regression testing SAP applications reduces ROI Customer Problem: New release of system requires more and more re-test (regression test): • High cost on manual testing • Delayed releases • Lack overview - can not assure that quality requirements are met • Lost sales/productivity Business We need to get the new release of our SAP system on the market now Development Operations I don’t have time to test the entire system for every new release The new release has many defects - even in the functions that worked fine before I don’t have a reliable overview of my testing

  13. IT Governance Rational Functional Tester for SAP Rational RequisitePro TEST MGMT. Rational ClearQuest Test Manager TEST REQ. MGMT. Customer Solution Scenario 1- SAP systemIntroduce Test Management and Automated Functional Testing Business Solution: Test Management solution with automated functional test. Benefits: • Reduced cost on testing (in the long run) using automated testing • Test more in less time – no delays • Overview of tests and found defects • Easy reporting and progress overview • Reduce Time to Market We’re back on track to achieve our goals. System quality is ok – even with new functionality added Development Operations I can focus on testing the new functions I am confident that all functionality has been tested

  14. What can we offer on SAP testing • A state-of-the-art Test Management solution .. • Certified for SAP NetWeaver solution for automated test (Rational Functional Tester) • Testing capabilities optimized for SAP • Project templates for ReqPro and ClearQuest • Security application testing for SAP

E-signature, Unified Change Management, ..)

  16. Target customer contacts Executive Owners • CIO • CTO • IT Executive • LOB Executive Operations Owners Development Owners • IT Operations Manager • Release Manager • VP Engineering • VP Quality • Sr. Development Manager Text slide withlarge image

  17. Qualifying questions – Quality Management • Typcal qualifying Questions • Q: How do you assure quality of your SAP applications? How do you know when your system is ready for release? • Q: How much of your testing is done manually? Are you considering test automation? • Q: How do you get an overview of eg. which requirements are tested ok? • Q: Do you have regulatory requirments? And how do you enforce these in your test management? (E-signature) • Q: We have a department specialised in Quality Management and automated testing. Would you be interested in hearing more?

  18. Handling objections • Typical objection: We use HP/Mercury • Answers: • The “New Rational” is a better solution: • First and only vendor to achieve SAP NetWeaver Certification on RFT • Better support for the entire application lifecycle • Support Unified Change Management solution (UCM) • Support for handling regulatory requirements (E-signature) • Full VB.NET & Java scripting language in Rational Functional Tester (not just Java Scripting) • World class manual tester - with semi-automated data entry • Combined overview of all tests: Manual, Automated functional and performance tests in the test manager • And it is much cheaper :-)
