The products listed here have been recommended by users and consultants and are
provided as a starting point for your research.
A listing of these products does not constitute an endorsement by SAP.
The following list is not all inclusive. These products have different features and prices,
which meet different requirements. It is your responsibility to test their compatibility with

test system before installing them in a production environment. There are cases where a
program many conflict with another program(s) or the hardware, and crashes the system.
Testing software applies to both the server and workstation that the system administrator
uses.
