Arsin's SAP Team

SAP® Testing Services

Arsin provides comprehensive consulting services that include everything from strategy and best practices to our own unique SAP centric test automation tools. Our SAP test experts can assist you in creating a global SAP implementation test strategy, and then provide the delivery leadership necessary to execute by leveraging technologies from Arsin and other leading third-party tool vendors. Arsin's combination of more than a decade of software testing framework improvements, a deep practice in SAP applications and an ever growing SAP regression test library makes Arsin the clear leader in cutting-edge SAP test automation.

SAP Test Strategy Management
Arsin believes that the QA process that must be adopted is different for different SAP Landscapes and must be defined based on the maturity of the SAP implementation that is in place. Arsin defines a Test Strategy for a given Implementation by thoroughly studying the system inside out and gauging the environmental characteristics and then defines a Test Strategy. Arsin compares the maturity of the implementation with the industry standard maturity index and uses this as one of the primary parameters in defining the Test Strategy for the SAP system.

SAP Test Artifacts Definition
Arsin has over the years of experience has gained deep and clear Business Process Knowledge in various Industry Verticals. This has helped define Test Assets that cater to the different SDLC phases and drastically reduce the time and effort in QA Process. These artifacts along with the strong Process Knowledge are Arsin's forte.

SAP Test Automation
Arsin achieves Test Automation with the help of third party tools like, IBM's Rational Functional Tester, Compuware's Test Partner and HP's Quick Test Professional and its in-house Effecta Validation Engine and QA Mapper. These tools have helped to reduce testing effort and increase testing scope while ensuring that the overall cost unchanged.

SAP Performance Testing
Performance testing is one of the key focuses of Arsin. Arsin has a holistic approach towards performance testing, taking into consideration the entire IT landscape right from the network to the application layer. Arsin's SAP Performance Testing team has expertise in networking, databases, SAP Basis, SAP and third party performance monitoring and load generation tools.

GUI Automated Test (GAT)

As IT organizations and software development firms struggle to do more with less, test automation comes to the forefront. Arsin is a recognized specialist in the development of test automation strategy and reusable test automation frameworks that enhance many of the leading third-party test tools and reduce implementation and maintenance cost. Test automation is often an effective strategy for significantly reducing the manual, repetitive and labor-intensive effort associated with application feature and regression testing. By using a framework that extends leading testing tools Arsin assists QA and test teams to quickly deploy robust and efficient automated feature and regression testing solutions. The Arsin-developed test framework includes a configuration manager, framework entry and exit points, a recovery system, exception handling and an innovative, object oriented test API toolkit that simplifies test case creation and significantly reduces maintenance of automated test scripts. The framework supports use of a common test methodology across the test team. Best practices such as test data / test case separation and XML-based test data representation become an integral part of the test environment. This level of test automation provides significant productivity benefits, as well as increased test accuracy and test execution management.

Performance - Application and Infrastructure Performance Testing

Can a new application be deployed on existing servers without negative impact to existing service levels? How will the new application and the associated network and systems infrastructure perform under stress? What does the end-to-end picture look like from a user-experience perspective? What is the probability that Service Level Agreements will not be maintained? Is the capacity planning for system hardware appropriate? Is the system tuned for best performance? These are some of the many questions answered by Arsin's performance experts. From network-level router protocol testing to application-level load generation and stress testing, our consultants work to devise customized performance testing plans based on an understanding of both performance and scalability perspectives. Our approach places a heavy emphasis on real-life usage scenarios and development of automated tests using a range of commercially available tools. Based on objective data collected, our consultants then assist your operations staff with the tuning of your infrastructure components (e.g., firewalls, routers, load balancers, web servers and application servers).

Distributed Transaction and Component Testing

As more business transactions become distributed across multiple applications and even companies, traditional testing tools focused on one application fail because they lack the ability to model, execute and analyze results from 2 or more distinctly independent applications that all share part of the transaction. The Arsin ETAP™ (Enterprise Test Automation Platform) framework steps up to this challenge by providing sophisticated services that distribute test case instructions through the network, receive results back from participating applications, and then automatically evaluate the results to decide if a test case has passed or failed. Firms looking to validate J2EE components and infrastructure, complex B2B integration networks, Voice/VXML applications, n-tier "business-layer" components, certify participants joining electronic marketplaces, or verify the integrity of integrated supply or demand chains can use Arsin's expert knowledge and the Arsin ETAP framework to move test automation of distributed transactions into the realm of possibility. ETAP is designed to support automated testing of distributed transactions based on complex standards/technologies like Rosettanet™, Webservices, (SOAP/WSDL) and messaging technology.
