Continuous Testing Architecture for SAP Enterprises

Keep this: job aid

Continuous testing architecture checklist

• Map test layers (code, service, UI, process, production signals) against delivery flows; push checks down.
• Keep business test definitions independent of GUI, Fiori, service and IDoc adapters.
• Start every run with a readiness check: availability, versions, connections, jobs, data, users.
• Prove test systems cannot reach production partners; coordinate environment change with Basis.
• Virtualize unavailable, costly or nondeterministic dependencies; verify substitutes against contracts.
• Route real versus virtual by configuration; finish each release with real partner tests.
• Provide data through a service: catalog, generators, masked copies, pools; record copy and masking versions.
• Correlate failures with monitoring by time and business identifiers; attach signals to classifications.
• Govern assets: owners, standards, reuse library, tool criteria, light reviews, reliability metrics.
