Summary

Throughout Chapter 16, I focused on the tasks related to planning for, scripting, executing, and monitoring an SAP stress test. Key testing tools, approaches to stress testing, methods of gathering input data, and the work of identifying and gathering post-run statistics were covered, as were lessons learned, coding tips and tricks, and more.

In the next and final chapter, we will look at the remaining tasks that ultimately prepare the production environment for its critical role in supporting a company’s end users. Thus, verifying output management, locking down the system, preparing for the first change control wave post–Go-Live, ironing out support and service level agreements, preparing the SAP technical support organization for the big day, and so on are all covered in Chapter 17.
