Academy · Hands-on labs
Practice SAP testing in a real automation tool
124 hands-on labs run through the Academy's testing and test automation courses. Each one takes the skill from its lesson, like test design, Fiori automation, API checks, regression suites or sign-off evidence, and has you build it in ACCELQ against public SAP demo apps or your own SAP S/4HANA trial.
Before you start
The labs use ACCELQ's free 14-day trial, so no credit card is needed. Practice targets are the public SAPUI5 demo apps, ACCELQ's own sample bank app, public OData services, and SAP's free SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition trial. Never point a lab at your company's systems without permission, and never at production.
Matt Angerer, who runs The Sign-Off Table, works at ACCELQ. The courses themselves teach tool-neutral skills; ACCELQ appears only in the labs. Disclosure
