01 · The challenge
Every test run by hand, two weeks a cycle
The provider, a market-leading independent power producer, needed SAP process automation and regression testing for critical business processes: plant configuration checks for generation, development, holding and maintenance plants, master data updates, order to cash, subcontracting, refurbished material processing, and company code and bank account creation. Every test case was run manually, test cycles took two weeks, and nothing was reused.
02 · The approach
One UiPath framework, reusable parts
TSP implemented a test automation framework using UiPath, tailored to the provider’s SAP environment.
What TSP delivered
Automated regression testing
Faster, more reliable test runs.
Reusable components
An object repository for efficient test development.
Test data management
Customized so tests run accurately across environments.
Continuous execution
Daily automated test runs with real-time reporting.
03 · The results
Hours, not weeks, to test a release
- Automation rate up from 0% to 90%, ending manual regression testing
- Test execution down from two weeks to 2 to 3 hours, for faster release cycles
- Component reuse up from 0% to 75%, with less duplication
- 75% cost efficiency, lowering operational costs
- Next: CI/CD integration for continuous testing, automation for more SAP processes, and automation to support the move to SAP S/4HANA
