SAP CPI is becoming the go-to tool for SAP Integration. There are a lot of customers asking for how and when should we migrate to SAP CPI. There can be a large cost saving if you are able to move from PI to CPI because it is much easier to run the platform. For some scenarios it makes sense to migrate them now to SAP CPI especially if it involved cloud or technical aspects.

We have been creating test cases on both platforms and want to give users a good way they can continue to test with both platforms. If a customer wants to migrate from PI to CPI it is necessary to be able to test that everything works as expected.

They are two different platforms, so you need to perform a lot of tests with the migrated content especially if it is the complex business logic you have. The more tests you are able to perform cost-efficient the better and the easier the migration will go.

With the Figaf tool, it is really simple to create test cases. It just takes 2 minutes to set up a new recording and then start processing the tests. So you can get data from your productive system and use them for testing that the new setup works in all cases.

Then you can setup which part of the steps you want to ignore and you can start the testing process, to find the places where the mappings are different.

You can see a demonstration of the process here.

The solution does support Asynchronous as in the overview and synchronous communication.

Will we need to improve the process? Yes. There will probably be some more improvements we need to make to test the migrations. Just submit your bug reports and we will have a look.
