What is System Landscape?
The set of SAP systems, typically development, quality, and production, connected through transport routes.
A classic three-system landscape is DEV, QAS, PRD; projects often add sandbox, pre-production, or training systems. Changes move along the landscape via transports. Test planning must state which system and client each test phase uses.
