A US dairy producer cuts SAP release testing from 800 hours to 40 with UiPath test automation

A large US dairy producer spent more than $260K a year manually testing SAP releases. TSP automated 105 end-to-end test cases on the UiPath Test Suite and was one of the first partners to implement UiPath Change Impact Analysis. Manual testing per release fell from 800 hours to 40, and the producer’s team now maintains the tests.

01 · The challenge

Every SAP change meant hundreds of hours of manual tests

Regression testing took countless hours every time SAP was upgraded or a change was made. Many end-to-end tests had to run across the enterprise before any change could be deployed. Manual release testing took thousands of hours a year, cost more than $260K annually, and put a heavy burden on business users with each upgrade.

02 · The approach

UiPath Test Suite and Change Impact Analysis

TSP brought its UiPath Test Suite expertise and SAP knowledge, backed by its UiPath partnership and hackathon wins. TSP was one of the first partners to implement Change Impact Analysis, a UiPath feature that supports SAP test automation.
