Question 1

What SAP systems does Praman support?

Accepted Answer

Praman supports SAP S/4HANA (on-premise and cloud), SAP BTP applications, SAP Fiori Launchpad, and any web application built with SAPUI5 or OpenUI5. It works with both SAP Fiori Elements and custom UI5 freestyle apps.

Question 2

Do I need access to SAP source code to use Praman?

Accepted Answer

No. Praman interacts with UI5 controls through the public runtime API (sap.ui.getCore()). It queries the control registry at runtime, so you only need browser access to the application.

Question 3

Can I use Praman with existing Playwright tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Praman extends Playwright — it does not replace it. You can mix Praman fixtures (ui5, ui5Navigation, ui5Table) with native Playwright APIs (page.click(), page.locator()) in the same test file.

Question 4

How does Praman compare to wdi5?

Accepted Answer

Both access the UI5 control registry. Praman is built on Playwright (faster, modern), while wdi5 uses WebdriverIO. Praman adds typed control proxies with full IntelliSense, AI-powered test generation, Fiori Elements page-object helpers, OData V2/V4 mock/intercept utilities, and 10 UI5-specific Playwright matchers.

Question 5

How does AI test generation work in Praman?

Accepted Answer

Praman integrates with AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Jules). You describe what to test in business language, and the agent generates production-ready Playwright tests using Praman fixtures with typed control proxies — not brittle selectors.

Question 6

What authentication methods does Praman support for SAP?

Accepted Answer

Praman supports 6 authentication strategies: BTP SAML, Basic Auth, Office 365, Client Certificate, Custom IDP, and Manual login. Authentication is handled in seed tests and sessions are reused across test runs.

Question 7

How many SAP UI5 controls does Praman support?

Accepted Answer

Praman supports 61 UI5 control types across 8 SAP libraries: sap.m, sap.ui.table, sap.ui.comp, sap.uxap, sap.f, sap.ui.mdc, sap.ui.unified, and sap.ui.core. Each control type has a fully typed proxy with IntelliSense.

Question 8

Is Praman free and open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Praman is licensed under Apache-2.0 and is completely free. It has only 3 production dependencies (commander, pino, zod), all MIT-licensed. The source code is available on GitHub.
