Overview

SNP Validate is an automated solution for data validation of mainly SAP systems after upgrades, OS/DB migrations, archiving implementations, SLO transformations, or day-to-day validation of data correctness and completeness.

To perform complete and exhaustive tests, an extensive amount of manual testing is required, which consumes time, resources, and manpower. The main advantages of automated validation are:

  1. Reduction in time to perform the necessary tests
  2. Time saved can be reinvested into higher priority projects
  3. Extensive and complete testing


SNP Validate is an automated testing solution, which can be applied in various scenarios such as

  • ECC ABAP Report reconciliation
  • Technical data (including customizing) validation on table level
  • Data transfer reconciliation between non-SAP DBs and SAP
  • BW Query validation
  • BW Info Provider content validation (Listcube)
  • BW transformations validation


It can also support frontend testing based on e.g. Web Intelligence (BOBJ), BeX, Design Studio, and others.

Typical use cases for validation

Every company is going through changes in its IT landscape as part of minor and major upgrades, releases, developments, and roll-outs of new projects.
