Case Study: Salt River Project achieves faster, lower-risk SAP testing with Tricentis LiveCompare

How Salt River Project reduced testing when implementing SAP EHP8 and SAP HANA

Salt River Project (SRP) needed to migrate to SAP HANA and upgrade to SAP EHP8 while ensuring changes to SAP wouldn’t disrupt production. Its traditional “test everything” approach was time- and labor-intensive, leading to long user acceptance testing cycles, so SRP sought a smarter way to manage SAP testing. Tricentis and its LiveCompare product were used as part of SRP’s testing strategy, alongside Micro Focus HP ALM for reusable automated scripts.

Tricentis’ LiveCompare helped SRP focus testing on the most at-risk SAP objects, identify gaps in test coverage, and audit the test process. As a result, SRP reduced system integration testing by 25% and user acceptance testing by 50% versus its EHP7 project. SRP also reported faster defect detection, improved quality, shorter testing timelines, and less unplanned work, helping ensure more reliable software releases.
