With the newest release of Tricentis LiveCompare, we have updated SAP HANA apps, the Smart Impact apps dashboard, and other aspects to improve your experience. With new features for templates, reports, accessibility, user interface, performance, and test repositories, LiveCompare has even more robust capabilities to enable your organization to have a fast, efficient, and trustworthy testing process. With LiveCompare 2025.1, you can more easily identify what needs to be tested and what’s been affected by recent changes in your code.

The need for quality intelligence and change impact analysis

More tests and objects in your SAP systems are created every day to meet business requirements and achieve your strategic initiatives. And QA professionals only have so much time before each release; regression testing everything in today’s fast development timelines is nearly impossible, and moreover it is not always the most useful metric to understand your release readiness. Change intelligence solutions, like Tricentis LiveCompare, can help testing teams focus their scope to test only what has changed – at the object, unit, and application levels, helping teams narrow their scope and get ahead of deadlines.

LiveCompare has always been a purpose-built solution for SAP teams to make their testing processes more efficient and thorough, and these latest capabilities are released with that mission in mind. LiveCompare 2025.1 adds a slew of new features to enable teams to accelerate testing cycles and release with confidence.

Introducing the LiveCompare 2025.1 release

Read below to learn about the key features in the 2025.1 release:

  1. S/4HANA 2023 upgrade
  2. In-app reporting
  3. LiveCompare usage reporting
  4. Performance

S/4HANA 2023 upgrade

LiveCompare’s “SAP HANA Upgrade Analysis” App streamlines the assessment process for upgrades between HANA versions, providing actionable insights to support project planning and execution. The app delivers both a high-level project Dashboard report and detailed reports to assist with:

  • Resolving impacted custom code
  • Prioritizing critical SAP standard testing activities
  • Identifying vulnerable integration points

The application integrates with connected Test Repositories to identify relevant test assets for impacted items. These assets can be leveraged to create test executions or define test requirements. Additionally, the Upgrade Analysis App can detect “sick” test cases and modules within a designated high-risk Test Repository when the Heal Tests feature is enabled.

In this release, the app includes enhancements to the Fiori Apps Data Source, now updated with the latest S/4HANA 2023 capabilities. This update supports the identification of obsolete Fiori apps while incorporating data for over 70 obsolete apps and more than 1,600 new Fiori apps.

In-App reporting

No Excel? No problem. LiveCompare 2025.1 has removed the Excel requirement, making it accessible to teams that use alternatives to Microsoft Office. This ensures stakeholders can more effectively monitor LiveCompare’s usage across their SAP DevOps teams, ensuring the right individuals are integrating LiveCompare insights into their workflows.

Usage reporting

Stakeholders can easily ensure that LiveCompare is incorporated into the workflows of their SAP DevOps teams. This helps LiveCompare champions and success managers gauge how integrated LiveCompare is in their quality intelligence and change management processes.

Performance

LiveCompare 2025.1 features significant performance enhancements across multiple components. Searching test repositories, such as Tricentis Tosca, has been optimized and shared internal databases have been unlocked, and collectors no longer cause UI to freeze. Smart Impact Analysis is now able to run much faster and searching for Test Hits/Gaps is reported at 30x faster speed. Separate databases have been implemented to eliminate bottlenecks by preventing database locking. Also, background activity runs seamlessly without blocking other functions.
