Why Worksoft Certify• Test automation solution for enterprise applications including SAP, Salesforce, Oracle,

and Web Apps• Worksoft Certify can be used on multiple non-SAP and SAP platforms

- An example of this is Metso’s WM E2E scenarios, Pool4Tool, and M3

• Scripting methodology is easy to learn and use – easier than programming but still needs a certain mindset to use it efficiently

• Easy to run, take screenshots, easily scalable, and easy to integrate with many applications including HP QC, RQM, SAP SolMan, and others

• Test Automation scripts are easily maintained- Possibilities to copy & paste, record new steps to anywhere in the test scripts- Test scripts are easy to read which facilitates efficient maintainability and issue recognition- Application/Process changes, no need to re-record the scripts, open the existing one and add/modify/delete steps

- Process comparison and merge

Solution Manager & Certify IntegrationProcess Description• Tests are monitored and performed via SAP Solution manager which launches the external testing

tool Worksoft Certify

• Integration works in the following way:1. Tests are scheduled in Solution Manager for LOT (Lights Out Testing)

2. Once the scheduled test package starts execution, Solution Manager launces Worksoft Certify

3. Worksoft Certify launches the specified SAP client and starts executing the test script

4. Once test script has been executed, test results are automatically uploaded to Solution Manager and Worksoft Certify
