Non-Functional Testing for SAP: Performance, Volume and Batch Windows

Keep this: job aid

SAP non-functional test card

• NFR = process + measure + target + percentile + conditions + owner.
• Model peak from production statistics and business volumes; include jobs, interfaces, think time, data variety.
• Test on a production-comparable system; state any differences.
• Run the real job chain with real volumes; measure the critical path and margin.
• Rehearse job restarts within the window.
• Agree evidence with Basis before the run: workload statistics, traces, expensive statements threshold.
• Read response time as wait + execution; CPU is separate; network is outside.
• OAT: timed restore, failover and failback, alerts, runbooks, with business checks.
• Under RISE, map who performs and who verifies each OAT test.
• Report target vs measured; owners, actions and dates for every miss; process owner accepts risk.
