Automation in the Age of Disruption

How do you cope ?

TTC – we love disruption Some people say TTC takes a different approach. TTC have offices in USA, Asia and Europe. TTC export test automation capability and innovative aptitude into many parts of the world.

We’re having fun automating Award for delivering automation in an SAP/ DevOps environment. In partnership with TRICENTIS the Global Leader in Test Automation Technology (Gartner 2018) Awards: Nov 2017

Automation across all common SAP UI SAP User Interface - Evolution From Tricentis technology support point of view, it does not matter which SAP system is running in the background or which SAP process need to be steered with Tosca. We distinguish between the different types of SAP GUIs Tosca covers the whole SAP Technology space such as SAP Fiori, SAP S/4 HANA, SAP Netweaver Business Client, SAP Netweaver and SAP WinGUI – but goes beyond: IDocs play a central role in SAP to SAP and SAP to non-SAP communication, thus being a valuable entry point for data input or verification. With Tosca Testsuite, both the generation and the verification of IDocs can be automated through business readable test cases. SAP Fiori is the new user experience for SAP software. SAP customers benefit from a higher innovation pace while the applications are intuitive, personalized, and tuned to the way users actually work. To keep step with the SAP user experience strategy, Tosca Testsuite supports the newest SAP Fiori Launchpad, giving users seamless automation independent of the SAP graphical user interface SAP WinGUI -> SAP Netweaver -> SAP Business Client -> SAP Fiori -> S/4 Hana

Universal Approach - MBTA (Test Automation) Test Cases Action (automated) Action (manual) Test Logic (test cases) are developed independently of the Technical Models. Only at run time do they work together. MBTA tests can also be run manually System Under Test Desktop App interface Mobile interface Automation Model(s) Technology decoupling Business Object Maps or Technical Models are created for the target technology. These contain no logic. Web Browser interface API interface

Universal Approach – RPA (Building The “Bot”) Action (automated) Action (manual) With RPA, test Cases are simply replaced by a “business” focused workflow management GUI. System Under Test Desktop App interface Mobile interface Automation Model(s) Technology decoupling Business But the rest of the process remains the same. Together – these form the RPA automation “Bot” Web Browser interface API interface
