Why is the QA process important for SAP development?
QA in SAP development projects is often an overseen and ignored part of the development organization, which has proven to be a general mistake made by project management. The overall purpose of QA in SAP development can be put down to these important points:
- Providing objective evaluation of system development documents and programs against applicable standards and requirements
- Identifying nonconformance's
- Providing timely quality status feedback to management and affected personnel in order to minimize risks of failure
- Ensuring noncompliance issues are addressed on time.
Where does the problem lie?
Basically, in projects we operate with two types of participating consultants:
- Business consultants, who know the SAP application in and out
- Development consultants or developers who are able to design and program the actual solution
It is a common misunderstanding that business consultants are not to create detailed system descriptions. In order to minimize the level of failure in development, it is highly recommended that business consultant do as much system design and description as possible. This makes the development able to keep up with estimates and they do not have to spend many hours having meetings and other time consuming activities.
