Hands-On SAP OData and API Testing: CSRF Tokens, ETags, $batch and the SAP Business Accelerator Hub Sandbox

A practical, tool-neutral course for testers who call SAP S/4HANA OData V2/V4 and REST APIs directly with any HTTP client (for example Postman, Bruno or curl): reading a service and its metadata, authenticating, fetching a CSRF token before a write, building $filter, $select, $expand and paging queries, handling ETags and optimistic locking, sending $batch change sets and reading partial failures and error payloads, and turning manual calls into reusable, data-driven API tests. Reads are practiced against the read-only SAP Business Accelerator Hub sandbox, so no company system is needed; writes are walked through against a test system. Includes a 12-question quiz.
