During this project at AkzoNobel in Amersfoort we have been tasked with researching the possibilities for test automation of the SAP systems within the AkzoNobel Chemicals business units in relation to a migration of 6 separate SAP systems to 1 unified platform and ongoing regression efforts which are rapidly and exponentially growing to huge proportions.

After the research was concluded a full, ready to run, implementation plan including recommendations for whether or not to use SAP Solution Manager, HP Quality Center and other tooling, required team, changes required in the current ways of testing within the organisation and training required for people within the organisation to pull testing to a higher level in general and enable a sustainable and future proof test automation solution in particular was written and presented to the AkzoNobel Functional Chemicals Information Management board.
