3. – Packaged Apps are core to a business
– Packaged applications enable core mission critical needs and a high level of trust in the authoritative
nature of these systems needs to be maintained
– The cost and risk associated with maintenance and upgrade of these systems must be managed
– Financials - SAP, Oracle, etc
– ERP, HR, etc
– These are moving to new platforms/architectures
– Target enterprises going through SAP upgrades, migrations to SAP Hana, or have core applications
(banking, telco, etc.)
– Moving to the Cloud
– Validate the Apps before and after (functional, performance and security)
Packaged Applications – Triggers for change

Notas do Editor
There’s no single blueprint for SAP migrations that works for all organizations. Every migration is unique and has its own unique challenges.
It can be difficult to find and hire people who are experts in SAP, and who have been through a similar transformation
SAP is the backbone of many organizations. Any downtime in SAP can be catastrophic for the whole business
It’s not just downtime. Errors in an SAP system, or errors in the data, can propagate quickly to many internal and external systems. Maintaining integrity is paramount, and requires extensive testing.
And data must be secured, and comply with data protection regulations.
SAP environments are regulated, requiring traceability and governance throughout the SDLC
SAP UI has proprietary attributes, within both SAP GUI, SAP UI5 and SAP Fiori, which require deep technical knowhow to test
SAP landscapes include an eco-system of applications, creating dependencies that are slowing down dev, test and integration activities. The communication protocols between SAP and other systems are often proprietary such as iDoc and RFC, which most testing tools don’t support, and require specialist knowledge.
As SAP IT teams adopt DevOps, they face a unique challenge of managing a slow moving system of record, ie. the back office, in parallel with a fast moving system of engagement, ie. the front-end, which today usually runs on a variety of mobile devices, cloud platforms, and other web-based systems.
SAP development activities are shifting towards the SAP Cloud Platform (SCP), which also requires specialized knowledge and expertise.
Even a relatively simple SAP implementation has many parts, multiple technologies, and integrations. There are elements of technological challenges, and elements of managing the work and interactions between all of these parts and the people who work on them.
Here’s an actual example. This is the topology of a gas company with a significant presence in Europe. When you start to examine it, you notice that each of the boxes that represent a system is actually a front for multiple interfaces, each of which must be managed, tested, and supported. By my count, there are over 135 interfaces. SAP implementation and transformation touches almost every part of an organization. It’s fundamental to the organization’s day-to-day running, and its ultimate success. Businesses today rely on SAP, and can’t afford to have any downtime or errors in their SAP systems.
We’ve seen some of the challenges of the SAP transformation.
SAP environments are regulated, requiring traceability and governance throughout the SDLC: ALM.net is used by most SAP customers to govern and provide traceability of SAP development and maintenance operations
SAP UI has proprietary attributes, within both SAP GUI, SAP UI5 and SAP Fiori: MF ADM is the only vendor that supports SAP protocols across functional, performance and mobile testing
SAP landscapes include an eco-system of applications, creating dependencies that are slowing down dev, test and integration activities. The communication protocols between SAP and other systems are often proprietary such as iDoc and RFC: MF SV enables SAP shops to virtualize both SAP systems and non-SAP modules, freeing up the dev, test and integration of any eco-system component with full support for the SAP service protocols such as iDoc and RFC.
As SAP IT teams adopt DevOps, they face a unique challenge of managing a slow moving system of record, in parallel with a fast moving system of engagement: Combining ALM.net with ALM Octane allows SAP teams to address the DevOps challenge of syncing infrequent changes to systems of record with fast pace changes to systems of engagement
SAP development activities are shifting towards the SAP Cloud Platform (SCP): MF has built in integration to the SAP cloud platform for the execution of automated testing (SRF) and soon with a complete Octane managed DevOps pipeline
The SAP-specific testing components, and the ability to detect changes in SAP tests and flows, are part of the BPT Packaged Apps Kit for SAP. This demonstrates that our testing products take care of the underlying details of SAP, leaving the tester free to concentrate on testing and quality assurance.
At a high level, SAP Solution Manager is where the definitions of the business processes are maintained. Micro Focus ALM is able to integrate with Solution Manager and allows managers and testers to see the testing requirements, the tests, and any defects, all in one place. And through the integration and synchronization between ALM and ALM Octane, all teams get end-to-end visibility into the state of quality, and the development pipelines.
SAP Solution Manager has many capabilities to help customers with their SAP implementation. ALM extends these capabilities by integrating tightly with Solution Manager to deliver test management, change control management, and business process testing to ensure that the testers know what to test, and ensure that service hasn’t been inadvertently interrupted by a rogue change.
StormRunner Functional is tightly integrated with the SAP Cloud platform. Within the SAP Cloud Platforms WebIDE, you can use StormRunner Functional to create tests, and run them in StormRunner Functional’s lab. This gives you unprecedented ease-of-use and flexibility for testing your SCP implementations all from within the WebIDE. You also enjoy StormRunner Functional’s ability to run tests in parallel, which saves you time as your tests will complete more quickly, and you’ll know your quality status much faster.
Use this slide for first introductions of Micro Focus testing tools
If we take a look back at the example topology that we saw before, we can see that if we want to test SAP PI system in the middle, we will need to ensure that all of the other systems are connected and running. But running a performance test on production systems can put unnecessary load on them, which may cause a performance degradation and user dissatisfaction. So ideally, we’d like to isolate the part we’re testing from the production systems. This is where Service Virtualization comes into play.
By virtualizing these systems, and simulating their behavior, they will continue to work as normal in production, and will be effectively disconnected from the system under test. But, the system under test is unaware of that, because Service Virtualization can faithfully emulate their behavior. The system under test behaves as it would in production, and none of the production systems are affected by the test. Once the test is successfully completed, and any issues or defects resolved, we can deploy to production and engage the real systems.
Result
Gains ability to build a framework for test automation
Increases visibility to testing defects, reducing post-production issues by 80%
Scales solution from six Coca-Cola bottlers currently to however many need services
Achieves high user satisfaction (93% of users surveyed)
The SAP and Micro Focus ADM partnership goes back a long way. For over 12 years, we’ve been helping over 1500 joint to customers migrate and upgrade their systems by providing them with tools for planning, testing, and ensuring security throughout their journey. We’re SAP’s only approved Solution Extension vendor, and our solutions are integrated within the SAP Cloud Platform.
Here’s another look at the large portfolio available from Micro Focus for SAP.
To ensure that your SAP implementation is working correctly, and that it supports the load that your users will put on it, you need to be able to understand the technical implementation and interfaces between each of the parts of the system. Our functional and performance solutions support the technical protocols that you need in order to test your SAP implementation, and enable you to quickly and easily create extensive tests that can run as part of your delivery pipeline.
