SAP S/4HANA Test Consulting (End to End)
CLIENT: Deloitte Australia (SI for Australian mining company)
PROJECT:S4/HANA SAP implementation for a leading Australian mining company
The Project Background
Deloitte and Tritusa have maintained a relationship for over eight years, with Tritusa providing SAP testing expertise across several previous projects. Deloitte approached Tritusa as testing partner to manage the end to end SAP S4/HANA testing for one of their global mining client.Tritusa was responsible for overall testing for the program including test management, functional testing, test automation and performance testing.
Key Challenges
- Number of legacy applications and their complex integration with SAP
- Legacy immature testing processes
- Wide testing scope due to complexity
- Tight schedule
Our Approach
We deployed a full team of experienced SAP test consultants, including a SAP Program Test Manager to develop the test strategy and manage the test team and work part of the Deloitte project team, a SAP Test Lead, SAP testers and automation test consultants. Tritusa developed the comprehensive test strategy to including the defining the test phases in scope, tools needed and success/failing criteria which was reviewed and agreed by Deloitte. As part of the test strategy, it became immediately clear that test automation was needed to ensure comprehensive test coverage and to reduce the test cycle. A number of automation tools were evaluated to meet the requirements and after a Proof of Concept, Tricentis TOSCA tool was chosen and enabled Tritusa to develop and execute appropriate automation scripts. In developing the test strategy, Tritusa identified a number of additional risk areas that were not part of the initial scope but could affect the outcome to the customer and these were added to the testing scope. Comprehensive management reports were provided on a daily basis to ensure the wider project team were able to review progress.
