Int4 IFTT can test SAP application interfaces (API) independently of connected systems, so by . By definition, it will virtualize the sender and receiver systems depending on the scenario. Int4 IFTT combined with UI Test automation tools deliver fully automated end-to-end process testing of SAP S/4HANA in the SAP environment.
However, some scenario exists where UI test automation is impossible or not required. In such cases, manual testing of distributed processes in SAP S/4HANA also requires conducting the tests in connected apps. Therefore, such testing becomes complex and expensive and must be repeated , as testers repeat it multiple times even if the changes are related only to SAP S/4HANA.
Int4 IFTT Virtualization Component (VC) solves this inconvenience and . It enables efficient manual testing of SAP S/4HANA while connected apps are virtualized and simulated.

The component monitors the integration platform (e.g., SAP Process Orchestration, SAP Integration Suite, Webmethods, Boomi, or just backend's IDocs). The tool searches if any new messages are requests to external systems (the one , which IFTT will virtualize)virtualizes.If
Suppose the message with some particular, already learned pattern exists. In that case, Int4 IFTT will respond to it and inject the proper message for processing, as it would come from the original system.
In the SAP Process Orchestration platform, the The Int4 IFTT VC can dynamically deactivate the communication channels to virtualized applicationapplications in the SAP Process Orchestration platform. Moreover, Int4 IFTT VC will cancel the request message so that the original connected system will be unaffected.

Setting up the service virtualization is pretty straightforward. The most crucial step is a replication of the behavior of the simulated system.
As Int4 IFTT is an SAP Add-on, we recommend using well-known tools from the SAP landscape as much as possible.
