SAP Automation

SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products) is one of the most widely used Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems across industries. Due to the critical role SAP plays in core business operations, ensuring its reliability and performance is essential.

Manual testing of SAP applications is often:

  • Complex

  • Time-consuming

  • Prone to human error

Automation provides a sustainable solution to improve testing efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance accuracy.

Avo Assure is a low-code, AI-driven test automation platform designed to simplify and democratize automation. It enables business and technical users to design, execute, and maintain test cases across a wide range of applications, including SAP.

This document provides a detailed overview of SAP automation using Avo Assure, its features, workflows, and benefits.

Prerequisites

To set up SAP automation with Avo Assure, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • System requirements: supported Windows OS (Windows 7 and above; SAP GUI 740 does not support Windows XP/2003).

  • Access to SAP servers with valid user credentials.

  • Enablement of SAP GUI scripting (server-side and client-side).

SAP Scripting Setup

  • Server-side: Run transaction RZ11, set parameter sapgui/user_scripting to TRUE.

  • Client-side: In SAP GUI options → Accessibility & Scripting → enable scripting, disable pop-up notifications.

Avo Assure Client

The Avo Assure Client is the core execution engine of the platform.

It is responsible for:

  • Identifying application elements

  • Debugging test cases

  • Executing automation scripts

The client leverages proprietary algorithms to ensure accurate recognition of SAP UI elements, enabling stable and reliable automation.

Avo Assure Process Flow

The SAP automation workflow in Avo Assure typically involves the following structured steps:

  1. Project Creation: Define new projects, assign users, and configure project settings.

  2. Element Repository: Create a centralized repository of SAP elements. While creating the repository, users must select the “SAP” option to ensure that a dedicated SAP section is created within the repository. This allows SAP-specific elements to be captured, stored, and reused across test cases.

  3. Test Case Authoring: Define test cases manually in Design Studio or use the Smart Recorder (Avo Genius). During test case creation, selecting the “SAP” option ensures that SAP actions and elements are available for building accurate test flows.

  4. Execution: Run test cases immediately, schedule them for later, or execute them in parallel on multiple clients.

  5. Reporting & Analysis: Access multiple report formats such as web-based, unified, and email reports to analyze test results.
