Building accurate, comprehensive documentation continues to be one of the primary bottlenecks in any digital transformation project. Worksoft Analyze introduces true automated discovery for multi-actor business process flows across your organization.

Worksoft Analyze eliminates not only the need for user interviews but also all the resulting manual documentation. This drastically reduces manual labor and can cut weeks or even months from the overall project timeline. Best of all, because the business processes are now defined and documented within the system, you can use them to jump-start test automation efforts by importing them as test scripts into Worksoft Certify or even use the data to auto-populate business blueprints in SAP.

• Reduce man hours by up to 30% as a direct result of auto-discovering business processes

• Adopt a long-term strategy for increasing test coverage with limited test resources

Core Benefits:

Process Mining for SAP is a zero touch solution enabling auto-discovery of as-is SAP business processes at scale, creating end-to-end visualizations and test automation libraries.

What is unique about our solution is that it does not require changes to your system. No significant investment, or infrastructure in required. It is automatic. A simple transport is installed then the data is mined and synthesized. You can set the parameters however you want – region, time, etc. We use the data from your system, which is a distinct difference in our approach from others.

Best of all, Process Mining for SAP produces output detailed enough for a human or automated system to re-perform the actual business process, which makes it perfect for creating automated test libraries at scale.

Accelerate Test Automation at Full-Scale with Process Mining for SAP

Available for: SAP’s Sales & Distribution, Materials Management, Finance and Controlling (FICO) and Warehouse Management Modules

Process Mining Key Features:

• Automatically discover and document the execution of business processes in SAP

• Synthesize process discovery into actionable insights for automation

• Rapidly build a robust library of test cases with a single click

Mitigate Risks, Accelerate Results: SAP Transport Impact Analysis the Easy Way

Realize: Impact Analysis

Worksoft Impact automatically identifies what’s changing, prioritizes tests, and analyzes your existing

automated test coverage. It works in conjunction with Worksoft Certify and Worksoft Execution Manager to

provide a comprehensive test automation solution. Impact runs transport analysis by looking at Tcodes,

programs, and objects that are changing. Changes are mapped against existing testing processes in Worksoft

Certify, and a gap analysis is produced. Using the gap analysis, testing efforts can be prioritized and resource

utilization can be optimized.

Advantages:Speed - Tests can be immediately run in Worksoft Execution Manager or HP QC

Easy to Use - Provides an alternative to BPCA; or can be used to augment

Extensibility - Integrates with Micro Focus (HP) ALM. Tests can be immediately run in Worksoft Execution Manager, or HP ALM

Test Automation for Everyone!

Realize: Automate Testing

Maintaining enterprise applications such as SAP can require the help of numerous resources. Tools need to be easy to use, tests need to be easy to maintain, and teams needs to be able to share and reuse assets.

Worksoft Certify is the industry’s first automated codeless testing solution built specifically for nontechnical users to test end-to-end business processes at enterprise scale.

Certify enables users and vendors to easily package a process with all of its related dependencies, sub-processes, record sets, record filters, layouts, and variables into a zip file that can be exported out of one Certify database/environment into a new one. Users can easily share tests rather than re-creating them.

>>>Easy to Use Codeless solution that builds easy to read narratives.

>>>Easy to MaintainMaximize test reuse with flexible test libraries.

>>>Easy to ScaleBuild automation 3 to 5 times faster than other solutions.

>>>Easy to Integrate Integrate with HP ALM, IBM RQM, SAP Solution Manager, JIRA, and ServiceNow.9

Realize: Streamline Test Operations

Enable Continuous Testing and Drive Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment EffortsRunning unattended, automated end-to-end tests driven from a UI in parallel creates unique challenges for testers. The device the test is being run on needs to be on, a specific user needs to be logged into the device, the screen can’t be locked, and tests need to be orchestrated across multiple devices in multiple labs on premise or in the cloud.

Worksoft Execution Manager addresses these challenges and gives you centralized control for running remote Worksoft Certify tests via documented REST calls from any CD platform. It handles logging into machines, launching tests, taking screen shots, and reporting pass and fail tests back to the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform. Support for advanced scheduling enables users to specify the order of tasks to be performed and define dependencies between test processes passing and failing in order to continue testing.

Process Automation

DRValidations

There are many manual activities that take place within a typical large enterprise. If you look around your organization, you’ll see there are many other things you could easily be automating. When you build a script with Worksoft Certify, you are capturing the exact actions of a real user, key by key, field by field, system by system. With a bit of variabilization, that same automation can be run in production to eliminate many repetitive manual tasks that perhaps alone don’t justify the purchase of a new automation tool or hiring a developer, but with easy automation could be saving time and money. Every day our clients share new ways they are leveraging Worksoft automation to eliminate hours of repetitive manual tasks in their organizations.

In addition to process automation, operations teams get added value by leveraging automation scripts for DR validations. With Worksoft transferable automation, there are no limits to the way automation can be applied - or the value it can bring in SAP environments!
