Test Data Strategy for Automated SAP Tests

Automated tests fail most often because of data. This course designs data strategies for automated SAP regression: self-contained tests that create their own data through APIs, replenished data pools for consumable data such as stock and open items, resilience to system refreshes and number ranges, privacy controls for data and evidence, and fast classification of failures as data, environment, test or defect.
