SAP Implementation Testing and User Acceptance Management

Course Category : Project Management

An advanced programme for establishing structured SAP implementation testing and user acceptance management, strengthening solution quality, business readiness, and controlled transition to production.
Duration: 5 Days
Level: Advanced

Introduction

Testing quality is a critical determinant of SAP implementation success. Effective testing extends beyond identifying technical defects to validating integrated business processes, data integrity, authorisation controls, solution configuration, and alignment with business requirements. These considerations become particularly important before production deployment, when unresolved issues may affect operational continuity and system stability.
This course addresses SAP testing strategy, governance, test scenario management, defect control, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). It also examines traceability, roles and responsibilities, quality metrics, acceptance criteria, and the relationship between testing evidence and go-live readiness decisions across the implementation lifecycle..
