Monitoring stories

If your company has a lot of resources invested in business processes like those on SAP platforms, then downtime and slowdowns will waste those resources, whether it's money or your employees' time. Alyvix can regularly check that web apps like SAP Solution Manager are always working, so that everything runs smoothly. Let's see how we can build an Alyvix test case that runs through the Work Items task interface in SAP's Solution Manager so we can monitor it visually.

Automation means a lot of things to a lot of people. At the application level, the two most important uses of automation are for getting more work done, and for checking that applications are available and working properly 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
