The SAP Integration and Certification Center has certified that IBM Rational Functional Tester properly integrates with the SAP NetWeaver platform, to exchange critical data with instances of the SAP Business Suite family of applications.
IBM also announced enhancements to existing products to help SAP customers accelerate testing and deployment of SAP applications and updates.
