By 2020, 60% of digital businesses will experience a major service failure because of IT teams’ inability to “manage digital risk in new technology and use cases.”
Gartner Projection
Challenges with upgrade to S/4HANA• Requires upgrade to the latest version of SAP • Complete database change• Time / Budgetary issues• Requires downtime as migration takes place in waves• Custom processes are difficult to migrate• New user interface (Fiori) requires learning curve• SAP S/4HANA has frequent fix packs (every 6 weeks or so).• Will only support “latest” version• Can cause substantial delay in upgrade

Migration Paths to S/4HANA are Non-Trivial
New (Greenfield)New installation of ECC6 minimum EHP level with S-
Innovation package (e.g., SAP Simple Finance, on-premise edition 1503)
SAP Installed Base(Brownfield)
SAP Business Suite on any DB

1) Upgrade to ECC6 minimum EHP level2) Migrate database to SAP HANA3) Install S-Innovation package (i.e. SAP Simple Finance)

The Outside-In Approach
Automate End-to-End Processes Ensure that test automation covers not just the entry application but also all back-end applications and their integrations Identify all business process variations and check them too
Focus on the End User Understand how end-users use the application Create business scenarios to reflect this usage
Test ContinuouslyHaving automation in place allows you to run it on-demand as well as on a daily basisUncover problems by proactively ensuring your business processes work – find problems before your users do
Scale by Using the CloudDistribute automated testing across multiple machines to achieve scale and full coverage Use a public cloud infrastructure to spin up machines on demand and spin down when automated testing is complete

Time
• Quickly capture existing processes including custom process paths that pose the most risk during migration (Worksoft Analyze)
• Analyze impact of transport updates prior to deployment (Worksoft Impact)
• Conduct tests to ensure business process integrity (Worksoft Certify)
• Automatically generate documentation for best-practice process paths (Worksoft Analyze)
• Take the captured processes into Worksoft Certify for faster testing with better coverage
• Identify what has changed (Worksoft Impact)
• Conduct lights-out testing (Worksoft Execution Manager)
Challenges with upgrade to S/4HANA: Fix Packs
Development Cycle Integration Test Release
Pain Points• Fixpacks released ~ every 6 weeks• If there are issues, client must upgrade to
latest fixpack for support• Can cause substantial delay in upgrade
Automation Advantage• Worksoft Certify® automates the testing portion,
and does not need to be rewritten after applying a fixpack
• Worksoft Impact identifies what has changed• Worksoft Execution Manager runs test overnight
