SAP Test Data Quality checklist

10 mistakes that silently sabotage SAP testing, and how to address them

Test data is one of the most critical – and most overlooked – elements in SAP project success. When data quality breaks down in non-production environments, test cycles stall, automation fails, and confidence in delivery erodes. This checklist outlines the ten most common issues we see in SAP test environments, from mismatched scope and broken referential integrity to inconsistent scrambling and stale data. Whether you're preparing for UAT, regression, or a cloud migration, use this checklist to assess your current landscape and identify opportunities to improve speed, security, and stability in every test cycle.
