This seems to indicate that SAP Load Testing is a full-featured solution – but only for “modern cloud applications”? During the sales cycle, what happens when customers ask the sales engineers how they will handle testing legacy projects? Once the awkward silence becomes intolerable, the response would be to have a solutions partner handle it from there. “ SAP Load Testing by Tricentis – Optimizes the SAP user experience with scalable, on-demand performance testing for SAP Fiori® and modern cloud applications, such as SAP® SuccessFactors® and SAP® Ariba® solutions.” What struck me in the announcement was the way Tricentis solutions were packaged for SAP®, specifically performance: When I read the SAP announcement, I immediately had questions about it and posted on LinkedIn: The merger with QA Symphony added a Quality Center alternative, and the acquisition of Flood.io was to complete the holy trinity of QA management and automation with a performance testing solution. Those familiar with Tricentis know its beginnings as a functional automation solution (Tosca), which goes head to head with Micro Focus Unified Functional Test (UFT). It’s always been obvious that Tricentis has had the original Mercury suite squarely in its sites – no matter what company the products are currently licensed through. There has been serious heartburn about this for the past 24 months, and many long-time customers in the Fortune 2000 have decided to drop their maintenance renewals and look for answers elsewhere.
This news comes at a time when Micro Focus customers are reeling from licensing audits.For the first time since the early 2000’s Mercury/HPE/Micro Focus is no longer held as the default commercial testing vendor of choice for SAP implementations.This was the biggest announcement from SAP concerning a testing vendor since 2003, when Mercury Interactive unveiled the “Optane” solution for SAP.This announcement was big news for a few reasons: In late July 2020, Tricentis issued a press release indicating a significant expansion in the partner relationship with SAP.
It will be welcome news for larger Enterprise accounts, and especially for those companies who rely heavily on packaged applications like SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce. To those of us in the performance engineering industry, this should come as no surprise. By now you have heard the news that Neotys has been acquired by Tricentis.
