SAP support

HCL DevOps Test UI (Test UI) supports extended functional testing of SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for HTML.

Test UI supports testing of all SAP R/3 versions through the SAPGUI running on Windows®. For information on the supported versions of SAP GUI, refer to Recording and playback support.

With this support, you can use Test UI to record and play back scripts against the SAP UI with reliable recognition against SAP controls, including customized data verification of SAP controls. Test UI support is built on top of SAP GUI scripting framework exposing all scripting capabilities provided by SAP as well as adding significant value through the inherent capabilities of Test UI.
