What is SAP Cloud Integration, customer test service ?

This service offers you with specific regression testing for SAP Cloud  Integration.

This test service mitigates the risk of business disruption caused by regression risk for custom built integration flows. It offers a preview tenant and testing of the integration flows as part of a customer specific regression test suite for every incremental software update.Refer Quality Assurance to get more details on how it works.

You can place an order for test service via SAP Store. Remember to link this order with an existing CPI Contract Global Account to take advantage of the complimentary offering of preview tenant. We recommend you reach out to your Account Executive to place an order on your behalf.
