QualityKiosk Enables On-Time SAP ECC to S/4 HANA Go-Live for Mahindra and Mahindra

Industry & Segment

Objective

To ensure on-time, risk-free migration from SAP ECC to S/4 HANA with zero critical defects post-go-live, while reducing access-control and compliance risks.

Client Overview

Mahindra and Mahindra is part of the Mahindra Group, founded in 1945 and headquartered in Mumbai. The company operates across automotive, farm equipment, and diversified businesses, with SAP ERP as the core system of its operations.

Why QualityKiosk

Mahindra needed a quality engineering partner that could operate at migration speed across functional validation, access control, compliance risk, and automation at scale. This was QualityKiosk’s team-built SAP test coverage from the ground up, applying its automation engineering depth, tooling expertise, and structured migration testing methodology to stand up broad coverage on a compressed timeline.

Business Challenges

Migration complexity and tight go-live timeline

Traditional testing approaches for migration would have extended timelines and increased migration risk, impacting production schedules, financial close deadlines, and customer order fulfillment.

Access control and compliance risk

Large-scale ERP migrations typically expose gaps in role authorization testing, creating post-go-live access control issues and compliance vulnerabilities.

Limited test asset availability and build time

Building comprehensive SAP test coverage from scratch would have delayed migration readiness. The program required rapid test asset creation, fast automation ramp-up, and domain expertise to validate critical business processes without extending the migration timeline.

QualityKiosk Technologies Approach

We delivered an integrated quality engineering and reliability program aligned to the migration lifecycle.

Purpose-built SAP Test Asset Library:

Built a repository of 5,000+ test cases from the ground up, covering 200+ transaction codes across critical SAP modules including SD, MM, FI, CO, PP, PM, and HR

Validated 50+ end-to-end business processes, including order to cash and procure to pay

Automated role authorization testing:

Automated validation across SAP combinatorial roles spanning 1,000+ role combinations, run as a critical Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) checkpoint

Proactive identification of segregation of duties conflicts and compliance gaps before go-live

End-to-end automated testing with openText UFT:

Executed 5,000+ test cases, of which 3,000+ were automated, reaching roughly 60% automation coverage across business-critical SAP transactions

Automation built on an OpenText UFT framework

App modernization and cloud migration support:

QualityKiosk supported the SAP modernization effort, largely moving applications from on premises to cloud

Integration testing across Google Cloud infrastructure and across the in-scope modules, including SD, MM, FI, CO, PP, PM, and HR

SAP domain consultation to guide migration and upgrade decision-making across the program

Business Impact

On-time go-live with zero critical defects ensured uninterrupted business operations, protecting revenue and customer commitments

300+ defects were identified and resolved before go-live, preventing post-migration disruption

Automated role authorization testing across 1000+ role combinations ensured SOX compliance, proper segregation of duties, and audit readiness to prevent compliance penalties

The SAP test repository became QualityKiosk’s reusable asset base for subsequent SAP migration projects, turning a first-of-its-kind build into a repeatable accelerator

Automation-first execution and a structured migration methodology established a sustainable SAP testing framework for future upgrades
