SAP TAO

SAP Test Acceleration & Optimization (TAO):

SAP Test Acceleration & Optimization (TAO) is the latest technology for test automation on SAP systems. Having come a long way since version 1.0, SAP TAO version 2.0 and above includes the latest innovations in test automation to reduce the development time of automated scripts and lower the maintenance costs traditionally associated with test.

Based on the Business Process Testing (BPT) framework, SAP TAO has a number of modules which not only increase the speed of automated test creation on SAP technology through an intuitive interface but also reduce the maintenance by reading the SAP transports for information related to application change.

With the Process Flow Analyzer (PFA), which detects user interactions, it’s possible to generate Business Process Testing scripts faster than ever with data tables generated on the fly. Once the scripts have been developed with the PFA, they can be executed on demand.


Traditional test automation suffers from high maintenance as scripts become unstable once an application changes making agile developments difficult to support.

In SAP TAO 2.0 and above any changes within the SAP transport mechanism can be detected using the Business Process Change Analyzer (BPCA). The BPCA find areas of the application which have changed in a transport and creates a report showing which automated test cases are affected by the change allowing proper change impact analysis.

Furthermore the BPCA also supports technical updates of the automated scripts on the fly drastically reducing maintenance and differentiating itself from other solutions in the market.

HP QuickTest Professional (HP QTP):
HP QuickTest Professional (QTP) is an automated software testing suite designed for testing various software applications and environments. It performs functional and regression testing through a user interface such as a native GUI or web interface.

QTP It works by identifying the objects in the application user interface or a web page and performing desired operations (such as mouse clicks or keyboard events); it can also capture object properties like name or handler ID.

A VBScript scripting language is used by QTP to specify the test procedure and to manipulate the objects and controls of the application under test. To perform more sophisticated actions, users may need to manipulate the underlying VBScript.

HP Quality Center(HP QC):
HP Quality Center software is a scalable, centralized platform for managing and automating the delivery of secure, stable, high quality applications. HP Quality Center software enables you to implement a complete quality management infrastructure, establish consistent, repeatable processes and best practices for managing requirements, tests, and business components.
