Abstract

In this paper, a concept towards productive enterprise systems testing is presented. Identified challenges, including research gaps derived from literature, are discussed. These challenges and research gaps can initially be confirmed based on results of the herein presented survey analysis. Hence, a concept of an enterprise systems landscape is proposed and combined to the ERP testing stage model.
