Take a minute and think how this applies to your own environment.
Sign one: Your regression suite keeps growing, but your risk visibility stays the same
Your test suite gets bigger every quarter. New scripts are added for new features. Old scripts stay in place. Coverage numbers go up. Reports look strong. But your team avoids running everything unless they have to. Full regression takes too long. Maintenance takes too much effort. People quietly pick and choose what to run. When something breaks in production, it is rarely something you never tested. It is something you tested, but did not focus on.
The problem is not lack of effort. It is lack of prioritization.
Not all tests carry the same weight. Some protect revenue. Some protect compliance. Others just confirm that basic system behavior has not changed. When everything is treated the same, nothing stands out. Over time, your regression suite becomes noise. It creates activity, not clarity. Your team is busy, but not necessarily effective. And when risk is hidden inside a large test suite, it does not go away. It just becomes harder to see.
This is where a stronger SAP test automation strategy matters. Merito’s Test Automation solution is designed to improve execution intelligence, business-process alignment, and release-risk visibility so teams can focus on what actually matters.
Sign two: Your test data behaves better than your business does
Your QA system is stable. Data is clean. Pricing works the way it should. Integrations respond on time. It feels controlled and predictable. But production is not like that.
Real customers do not follow clean patterns. Data is messy. Timing varies. Edge cases happen more often than expected. A pricing condition might depend on a field that is rarely filled out correctly. An IDoc might arrive late. A dependency between modules might only show up when volume spikes.
