Our financial accounting implementation on S/4HANA 2020 is growing complex with frequent Fiori app customizations and quarterly updates. We’re struggling with regression testing - manual test cycles take 3 weeks and still miss defects.
I’m researching automated testing frameworks and continuous monitoring approaches. Looking at eCATT for traditional transactions, but what about Fiori apps? Also interested in CI/CD integration for our custom developments and automated KPI validation to catch data quality issues early.
What testing automation and monitoring strategies have worked well for others managing S/4HANA financial modules? Especially interested in approaches that balance automation coverage with maintenance overhead.
CI/CD for ABAP and Fiori developments needs different pipelines. For ABAP, we use gCTS (Git-enabled Change Transport System) with Jenkins pipeline that runs ABAP Unit tests, ATC checks, and eCATT scenarios automatically on transport release. Fiori apps go through separate pipeline with ESLint, UI5 tooling tests, and visual regression testing using BackstopJS. Both pipelines gate deployments - failed tests block transport to production.
Great insights on the hybrid testing approach and the importance of production monitoring. The CI/CD pipeline integration and KPI validation strategies are exactly what we need to implement. Appreciate the specific tool recommendations.
eCATT is solid for GUI transactions but indeed limited for Fiori. We use a hybrid approach: eCATT for core financial postings and backend processes, plus UI5 test automation framework for Fiori apps. The UI5 framework integrates well with Jenkins for CI/CD. Initial setup takes effort but cut our regression cycle from 3 weeks to 4 days.
