Automating SAP Applications with Tosca

Automating SAP applications can be challenging due to their complex UI and integration layers. However, Tricentis Tosca, a leading codeless test automation tool, is built to simplify SAP automation through its robust support for SAP GUI, Fiori, and Web-based interfaces. Whether your enterprise runs on SAP ECC or S/4HANA, Tosca offers scalable, end-to-end automation capabilities.

Why Use Tosca for SAP Automation?

SAP environments often involve critical business workflows, like finance, supply chain, or HR operations. Manual testing is time-consuming and error-prone. Tosca solves this by providing:

  • Model-based testing: Create reusable modules with drag-and-drop actions.
  • Scriptless automation: No need for programming skills.
  • Support for all SAP technologies: Including SAP GUI, SAP Fiori, SAP WebDynpro, and SAP Business Client.

Steps to Automate SAP Applications in Tosca

1. Set Up the Environment

Ensure you have:

  • Tosca installed with the SAP Add-In.
  • SAP GUI properly configured.
  • Required permissions to access the SAP system.
  • Scan SAP Modules

Tosca’s XScan tool allows you to scan and recognize SAP screens and controls (buttons, text fields, dropdowns, etc.). You can scan an entire SAP transaction screen and save elements as reusable modules.

Create Test Cases

Build test cases using the scanned modules. For example, a test case for creating a purchase order might include:

  • Logging into SAP.
  • Navigating to transaction code ME21N.
  • Filling in required fields.
  • Saving the order.
  • Verifying success messages.

Use Tosca's test step values and business parameters to create data-driven tests, enabling multiple scenarios with minimal effort.

Use Synchronization and Waits

SAP screens may load slowly. Use Tosca’s wait on screen or wait on object functions to synchronize actions with screen readiness.

Execute and Report

Run test cases via Tosca Commander or integrate with CI/CD tools like Jenkins. Tosca provides detailed execution logs and dashboards for analyzing results, failures, and test coverage.

Benefits of Tosca for SAP Testing

  • Speeds up regression testing cycles.
  • Increases test coverage with minimal maintenance.
  • Integrates easily with Agile and DevOps pipelines.
  • Supports both desktop and web-based SAP apps.

Conclusion

Automating SAP applications with Tosca brings agility, reliability, and scalability to enterprise testing. With its model-based approach and deep SAP integration, Tosca empowers testers to focus more on business logic and less on technical complexity. Whether it's a simple transaction or a cross-application workflow, Tosca makes SAP automation efficient and future-proof.
