    SAP TAO Training

    OK, SAP people, I’ve had a call from someone at a SAP supplier in NL selling SAP TAO training; TAO is the SAP test tool. Have you guys seen it being used? Is there much demand for it on SAP projects?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    I agree. But what is SAP?
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      It's only been out a few years. The way things usually work with SAP, is that the products are crap in the early stages and no-one wants them. Then they get usable (not necessarily good, but usable), and then everyone wants it.

      I'd guess it's still in the crap stage. There's no contracts for it on jobserve.

      I've never used it, and hadn't heard of it until now.

        never heard of it

        maybe that's a good thing

        isn't it strange for people to be touting courses ?

        isn't that kind of a bit desperate, someone phone you out of the blue to sell you a sap course which will be your road to £$£

        strange

        maybe that would be a good plan b, sell sap courses to the desperado's

        that's what financial crises do eh

            It wasn't a cold call; it's a guy that I worked with some years ago on a SAP project; I just wanted a second opinion.

                They never leave the crap stage and they sometimes change name.
                Mercury test director now is HP quality center.
                Test tools just increase the project time which is good for contractors.
                Project managers love them as they give document proof that you have
                performed the test.
                I have a love hate relation with the tools. I can write scenarios to make
                the test fail.
                They look good on the CV
                Logo partners love them as must get a commisson for recommending them

                  I agree. I hate test tools because they're mostly just useless tulipe that need more maintenance than the testobject itself and I love the invoices I can send when I'm forced to use them.

                    And even if it becomes the next big thing in SAP, if you do the training, you'll find it very difficult to get a contract if you've no SAP experience...
