This is the program-level test strategy for a move from SAP ECC to S/4HANA. It defines the test levels, who owns each one, how business processes are traced to tests, and which of those tests are worth automating — so that the regression effort does not grow linearly with every wave.
What is inside
- 1. Program context
- 2. Test levels
- 3. Business process inventory
- 4. Tracing processes to requirements and tests
- 5. Access route — the column that decides automation
- 6. Automation candidates
- 7. Test data and master data
- 8. Environments and cutover
- 9. Entry and exit criteria per level
- 10. Responsibilities: you and your systems integrator
- 11. Measures
- 12. Sign-off
How to use it
- Everything in italics is guidance and should be deleted once you have replaced it. Square brackets mark a value to fill in.
- These four documents are designed to be used together: the strategy sets the rules, and the three plans execute them at each level.
- Where your program uses different level names, keep your names and map them in section 1 rather than renaming everything.
How it ties back to Studio
Each template includes an automation candidate table: a short scoring pass over the flows you have just listed, asking how often each runs, whether its outcome is deterministic, and whether you control its data. That table is the bridge between a strategy document and an actual suite — it is what turns "we should automate more" into a list of named flows in priority order.
The rest of the set
Four documents covering the test levels an S/4HANA program actually runs:
- SAP S/4HANA Test Strategy — the program-level document
- SAP TUT and FUT Test Plan — technical and functional unit testing
- SAP System Integration Test Plan — end-to-end across modules and interfaces
- SAP User Acceptance Test Plan — business sign-off
