Introducing AI@Test: AI-Powered SAP Test Automation That Scripts Itself
Writing SAP test scripts has always been a specialist task — expensive, time-consuming, and perpetually out of date. AI@Test changes that: describe your test scenario in plain English and let the AI discover the interface, generate the script, and self-heal any errors along the way.
The problem with SAP test automation
Every SAP project needs testing. Regression testing before transports. Integration testing before go-live. Performance testing before peak periods. In most organisations, this testing is either done manually — which is slow and not repeatable — or through test scripts written by specialists and maintained at significant cost.
The challenge is not just writing the initial scripts. It is keeping them current. A transport changes a field label. A support package moves a button. A configuration change adds a new popup. Each change silently breaks a test script, and the next test run produces failures that are not real defects — just stale automation.
AI@Test is designed to make this problem obsolete.
From description to executable test
The starting point is a plain-language description:
"Test the SAP SD return order flow: create a return sales order in VA01 with document type RE, process the return delivery in VL01N, confirm goods receipt, and issue a credit memo in VF01."
AI@Test reads this description and generates a fully structured, executable test script — with the correct transactions, field entries, assertions, and success criteria. No recorder. No scripting tool. No field-ID lookup.

It discovers the interface at runtime
Traditional test automation tools require you to record or code every screen interaction. When the screen changes, the recording breaks.
AI@Test does not record. When it runs a test step, it connects to the live SAP interface — whether that is a SAP GUI Desktop transaction or a Fiori web application — and reads the current screen state in real time. It sees every field, every button, every label, as they exist at the moment of execution.
This means the test adapts automatically to screen changes. If a field moved, the agent finds it by label. If a popup appeared, the agent reads its content and handles it. The test is resilient by design.
Connected to your actual system configuration
When an AI@KB knowledge base report is available for your SAP system, AI@Test uses it to ground the generated test cases in your specific configuration — not a generic SAP template.
The document types, delivery types, pricing conditions, and process variants configured in your system are read from the AI@KB extract. The test script reflects what your system actually does, not what a reference model says it should do.

Self-healing execution
When a test step encounters an error, AI@Test does not immediately fail. It reads the situation — the SAP status bar message, any popup dialog, the current screen state — and attempts a correction before retrying.
In most cases the error is resolved without any human intervention. When it cannot be resolved, a defect is created automatically in Jira Xray or qTest, complete with the exact error message, the test data used, and a screenshot of the failing screen.
