Test agent to generate OPA5 tests

We have improved and released our AI-Agent-powered test generation in Simplifier! With the new recording overlay, you can now record multiple journeys sequentially and add comments and context used by our Test agent to create better tests and assertions.

Empower your business users & testers and free up your experts for high-value tasks with up to 90% faster test creation! (Read more)

New AI subscription with the Simplifier Value Flatrate

A common challenge with AI adoption is cost control. Many solutions rely on usage-based pricing, which can become difficult to predict as adoption grows. With the Simplifier Value Flatrate, our AI agents are available at a fixed monthly price. You can think of it like adding a new team member with a monthly salary, but at only around 5% of the cost.

This gives organizations predictable budgeting, avoids uncontrolled cost growth, and makes AI usage easier to scale across teams and use cases. Instead of tracking token-based pricing or worrying about fluctuating costs, companies can focus on value, productivity, and practical outcomes. (Read more)

Seamless integration into SAP Build Work Zone

With the new experimental content provider capability, Simplifier applications can now be integrated more smoothly into the SAP Build Work Zone environment. This allows organizations to provide Simplifier apps directly within their central digital workplace, improving accessibility and creating a more connected user experience across SAP-based landscapes.

A key advantage is that these apps do not need to be deployed separately to the SAP BTP runtime. That means no additional deployment effort, no delays when rolling out updates, and no extra runtime-related costs showing up on the SAP BTP bill.

For customers, this results in a much leaner operating model: easier integration, faster updates, and lower overhead when delivering applications through the SAP Build Work Zone. (Read more)

AI-driven test automation

With AI-powered test generation in Simplifier, you no longer have to write OPA5 test code by hand.
Just deploy your app, start an AI Journey, and record a normal user flow by clicking through the application.

In the background, the AI analyzes everything you do and automatically creates the corresponding Journeys and Page Objects as fully executable tests. This means you can turn real user scenarios into reliable automated tests in a fraction of the time—without any coding at all.

And when your app changes, you can simply re-record or extend a journey. The AI updates your tests for you, so you don’t have to start from scratch. (Read more)

Our AI-powered testing is currently an experimental first version. We’re releasing it early so you can already benefit from it, gather your feedback, and continuously improve accuracy, flexibility, and integration in the upcoming Simplifier releases.

AI-driven test automation in Simplifier enables faster releases with more test coverage. A much lower entry barrier for people without coding skills. Less repetitive test maintenance. And more time for your experts to focus on architecture, quality, and innovation. In short: you turn real user journeys into automated tests — in a fraction of the time.

New Theme Designer

With our new Theme Designer, you can easily create real Fiori themes for free.

And that’s not all: the Theme Designer is completely open source and available on GitHub, so you can use it, extend it, and integrate it into your own workflows. (Read more)

MCP Everywhere – Connect to (Almost) Anything

We’ve added MCP support for REST, SQL, RFC, and SOAP connectors, all with guided prompts and AI-powered testing. Security is built in with OAuth, Basic Auth, Token, and SAP SSO support. Database integration is seamless with automatic schema exploration. (Read more)

SAP users get full RFC connector capabilities with function browsing. Legacy SOAP systems are fully supported with WSDL integration.

And it’s all available as a Docker image, listed in official MCP registries including Model Context Protocol, Glama.AI, and MCP.so. Deploy anywhere, connect to anything.

The Workflow Build AI just got significantly smarter

When generating workflows, it now automatically creates and manages variables. It recognizes when automation is needed and creates automated tasks for you. Plus, it builds proper decision logic by creating outcomes and conditions using variables, autofields, and constants – delivering truly intelligent, branching workflows. (Read more)

VS Code Monaco Editor for Developers (experimental)

We’re starting to introduce the VS Code Monaco Editor, which brings full ECMA 2022 support. Business Object functions, SQL Connectors, and Templates can now be edited with modern syntax highlighting, intelligent auto-complete for Simplifier APIs, parameter hints, and all the power of a professional code editor right in your workflow. (For details, see our documentation of Business Object functions, SQL Connector calls, and Templates)

[Integration] Support of CryptoJS in Server-side Business Objects

The active development of CryptoJS ended a while ago. For security reasons, the CryptoJS integration will be removed from Simplifier.

For server-side business objects, there will be no direct replacement. We provide replacements within the Simplifier SBO API for selected CryptoJS APIs instead, starting with AES encryption and SHA256 hashing. On-premise customers with use-cases not covered by these should contact us (for Simplifier-hosted customers, we will check CryptoJS usage automatically).

If you need client-side crypto functionality, we recommend using the available JS Web Crypto API.

You can already deactivate CryptoJS in the Feature Settings.
