Since my company got involved with testing SAP middleware solutions about 2010 I always wondered how is that possible that each time we do in a different way on a new project. Since my professional life has always been involved with changing the existing status least year we've decided to try to explain different ways (methodologies) to test SAP integration at and the same time to show how out tool - Int4 IFTT can support those scenarios.
It turned out it was possible with openSAP. OpenSAP is is an Enterprise MOOC platform for massive open online courses developed and provided by SAP in cooperation with the Hasso Plattner Institute. Together with 6 of my colleagues: Michal Krawczyk, Michal Kowalczewski, Michal Michalski, Mateusz Nowak, Andrzej Halicki, Michal Lubczynski, Michal Jakubowicz many of whom are SAP Press authors we've created a first ever openSAP training about testing the SAP integration scenarios -
https://open.sap.com/courses/iftt1-pc called "Virtualize and Automate Your SAP Testing Using Int4 IFTT".
We'd like to invite you to this training and at the same time we'd like to publish a detailed description of the training below.
One important note - this training is a first openSAP training recorded completely with lightboard technology so please excuse us but there will be no powerpoint slides 🙂
