In the world of SAP, change moves at the speed of business. But for many QA teams, it feels less like a smooth delivery and more like transport chaos. In today’s fast-moving SAP landscapes, transports are often moved across systems faster than QA teams can possibly validate them.
This disconnect between change and testing processes creates a familiar set of problems:
- Critical dependencies are missed.
- Teams waste cycles on redundant testing.
- Defects are discovered late in the process, when they are most expensive to fix.
But what if you could transform this chaos into a continuous quality engine? What if you could intelligently test only what’s needed, exactly when it’s needed?
This is where the game-changing duo of Tricentis LiveCompare and Tricentis Tosca comes in.
The Power of Integration: From Insight to Automation
On their own, LiveCompare and Tosca are powerful. Together, they are transformative, enabling a true Shift-Left testing approach.
Here’s how they work in concert:
- LiveCompare Provides the “What” and “Where”
LiveCompare acts as the intelligence engine. It analyzes your SAP environment, including code, configuration, and even Fiori services 9, to identify exactly what has changed. More importantly, it pinpoints exactly what must be tested to validate that change.
- Tosca Delivers the “How”
Tosca is the automation powerhouse. It takes the precise “what to test” list from LiveCompare and automates the execution of those targeted tests. Tosca provides end-to-end coverage, running tests across SAP GUI, Fiori, and any connected non-SAP systems.
The Result: True DevOps for SAP
When you combine LiveCompare’s “what” with Tosca’s “how,” you fundamentally change your testing process. You empower teams to validate quality earlier, with less manual effort and far greater confidence.
This integration delivers key benefits that are essential for a modern DevOps and continuous testing culture:
- Automated Impact Detection: LiveCompare continuously monitors transports as they move and highlights at-risk areas before they are released.
- Smart Test Selection: This is the end of redundant test execution. The integration automatically triggers only the relevant Tosca tests required for a specific change.
- A Continuous Testing Pipeline: You can integrate this framework with your CI/CD and DevOps tools to create a fully automated, risk-based validation process for every transport.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Clear dashboards reveal where testing matters most, where risks remain, and how to align QA with business priorities.
